Inbound goods receiving automation is one the most popular and successful applications for RFID in manufacturing, logistics and retail. Automating your goods receiving with RFID has clear benefits and is very simple to implement. Shipments are automatically registered as they enter your site. No more manual typing of purchase order numbers or forgetting to scan barcodes. Vilant can handle the integration of the RFID system to your backend system: goods receipts are sent automatically to ERP. This brings benefits, such as instantly accurate stock levels, less production breaks and lower buffer stock level. Vilant can also provide RFID capability for your suppliers easily and efficiently (see below).
Customer mandates for tagging are resulting from the downstream of the supply chain implementing RFID systems and demanding from the upstream to tag shipments using RFID tags or labels. Vilant can help you fulfill your customer’s RFID mandates.
Lean production is getting maximum flow with minimum hold-ups. With RFID you can automate material movements, replenishment orders, WIP (work-in-progress) tracking and VMI (vendor-managed-inventory) processes. Whether you have 2-bin systems, Kanban or any other consumption pull mechanism in place, or you are evaluating lean methodologies, you should find out what Vilant RFID can bring to you. Equipping material containers or units with RFID tags enables automatic transactions as materials are automatically identified at different stages of the production process.
Suffer from shipping errors? Outbound shipping with RFID will help you. Packing mistakes and shipping to wrong locations are expensive errors. Vilant Shipper enables you to automatically ensure your shipments’ content, verify they are loaded in the correct truck and that nothing is missing from the truck. Vilant sends automatic shipping transactions to your ERP, which decreases manual labor and enables more efficient shipping process. You can also send an Advanced Shipment Notification (ASN) to your customers so that they know exactly when they are going to receive their order.
