Retail Inventory & Material Management
Simplify Inventory Management
Large amounts of merchandise are usually present at retail warehouses and distribution centres. The management of this inventory is critical to the firm’s operation. Instead of scanning each item individually, Radio-Frequency Identification allows for bulk scanning of this inventory. It also allows for data collection for use in traditional warehouse and distribution operations.
How it works
TAG ITEMS
Radio-Frequency Identification labels are used to identify inventory and items. Individual units are usually labelled with Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) so that they may be traced later in the supply chain. In other scenarios, the labels may be attached to the pallet levels or individual cases. Every Radio-Frequency Identification label contains a serial number. Using a Radio-Frequency Identification printer, the printing and encoding of RFID labels is frequently automated.
RFID READER
In the warehouse and distribution centre, strategic Radio-Frequency Identification read sites collect data on the flow of items. RFID handhelds can also be used to perform cycle counts or physical inventory counts. When compared to a barcode or manual count, the key advantage is the speed of data capture.
DATA COLLECTION
The data gathered could be useful in business interactions such as monitoring inventory levels or tracking inventory levels throughout a facility. Furthermore, the ability to do cycle counts and physical inventory counts in a more cost-effective and efficient manner provides immediate information on deviations.
Valuable Workflows
AUTOMATE CYCLE COUNTS/ PHYSICAL INVENTORY COUNTS
RFID handhelds can be used to count inventories fast and precisely. Choose between a guided (see variances while scanning) and blind count.
INVENTORY TRACKING
Use strategic read points to collect inventory movement as it moves across your facility. This can be seen at the Dock Door, as well as in pick lanes and staging locations.
