New Pathways, Making New Connections
| RFid technology connects all phases of the supply chain, from resourcing and manufacturing to inventory and distribution. Whether your business needs to identify and manage raw materials, manufactured goods, or products in transit, RFID creates real time information links that speed production, improve quality and streamline delivery. Choose from a large selection of different transponders and reader systems for your specific application. |

Unilever, the 25th largest company in the world, uses
RFID technology as the backbone of a smart pallet system designed
to revolutionize how consumer products are moved, handled and tracked
in their warehousing facilities. The RFid based system solves the
problem of management information connected to the flow of materials.
At the heart of the system is a small transponder mounted at the
bay doors in the warehouse through which pallets pass. When a pallet
reaches the loading bay, another transponder lets the computer know
which trailer it has entered. When the trailer is full, the truck
scale automatically compares the total weight of its load with the
individual pallet weights the computer has in memory, and signals
any discrepancy. The RFID system has raised productivity by increasing
the number of pallets handled daily and guaranteeing the validity
of information about material movement.

RFID can be used for this application as a way to improve the management of important document files in industries like insurance and legal where the loss of such files can cause severe problems. RFID improves the tracking of documents so that files can be more quickly located and legal document workflow more easily tracked. |
| Each file is tagged with a smart label that contains a unique ID and human readable information. The file description is entered into a database along with its tracking number. The file can be assigned certain parameters like expiration date, permitted movement, and persons authorized to see it. Over time the database can build up an audit trail of the handling and workflow history of each document file. Employees can locate a file by entering a request in their desktop PC. |
Ticket
For sports events, concerts, and other leisure activities, RFID systems streamline ticket issue and validation. They also serve to minimize losses from ticket fraud. Tickets can be created on demand with RFID-enabled bar code printers; RFID card transponders can be issued to individual customers and enabled for specific time periods; and tickets can be read remotely to increase throughput at entrances and gates. |
