Nowadays, companies that seek to stand out from the competition are the ones that really succeed. It is not enough just to offer a good product or service. The experience of both, customers and employees, is fundamental.
We can understand any company or business as a whole. A unique entity where every detail counts and where a satisfied employee is a key piece to increase the profitability of a business.
RFID is a unique technology that uses radio signals to transmit data that is stored on a chip. A system that ensures that it is those “little details” that make the difference.
Although it is not the only sector, logistics is one of the areas that can benefit the most from this technology. Do you want to know what the main logistical benefits of RFID technology are?
Rfid logistics technology: Everything is an advantage
#1. Intelligent tracking
This technology is often used to be able to identify and accurately track products, food, people or animals.
How is this possible? Thanks to RFID tags, which allow fast and multiple reads in real time. Each tag is individually identified and can be re-recorded countless times.
This allows total control over the product or animal, in the case of the livestock sector. It is also characterized by a high level of security.
Tracking and tracing is guaranteed almost automatically from start to finish.
#2. Stock control and warehousing
RFID technology in logistics makes it possible to carry out an exhaustive control of the time and storage of products or materials. In other words, not only the stock level, but also the transfer of each product in the historical record.
This reduces the waiting time and, most importantly, improves the work quality of the employees and the final customer satisfaction.
#3. Improved corporate image
The improvement of management in any area of the company has an impact on the company’s image. This technology and its applications benefit the management of product circulation, production flows, storage levels, etc. Therefore, adding a key value to improve the image of any company.
#4. More satisfied employees
As already mentioned, this is a technology that can read and record data or capture labels or objects even when in motion. This makes it much easier for operators to focus on more important tasks, reducing the chances of human error.
Employees will be able to help controlling the goods, monitoring important aspects such as humidity, temperature or expiry dates in the case of food products or medicines, for example.
#5. Temperature control
Reporting temperature at different times and obtaining the necessary information for the control of any type of refrigerated product is essential to avoid breaking the cold chain. And all this in real time through the emission of a signal captured by sensors.
#6. Load control
Another of its benefits can be to identify cargo at docks or airports. This label, correctly placed on the passenger’s suitcase or the goods to be moved, will make it easier to control their location and further location.
#7. Integration with other systems
Integrating the RFID system with the company’s software increases performance, which is important for making the right decisions at the right time. In this way, any errors that a person may make during the course of this task can be reduced.
#8. More efficient
RFID technology does not require direct vision of the tag to do the reading. Data can be read even if it is several metres away or there is an object in the way.
In addition, this system allows a reading speed that can be thousands of times faster than a conventional system such as a barcode. Once again, it saves even more time.
Which are the benefits of the RFID system in the logistics sector?
Thanks to the contributions and benefits of the RFID system can be achieved:
- Optimising the manufacturing process.
- It makes it impossible to falsify.
- Personalisation of production according to company preferences or needs at all times.
- Complete process automation.
- More efficiency with respect to barcodes.
- Control stock, avoiding breakages or lack of products.
- Help to improve customer service.
- Save time and money.
- Capture several labels. This eliminates the arduous task of scanning one by one.
- Track products, materials, people or animals.
- Guarantee a capture of the Rfid Tag, which will allow you to know the date and time of the recording.
- Reduce the need for manpower at the time of inventories.
Thanks to RFID technology you can increase the profitability of any company, improve customer service and give employees or operators tools with which to work more efficiently, easily and comfortably.
