How Does RFID Solution Works
Streamlining Workflows for Logistics
-
Receiving & InboundWhen goods arrive, they are instantly scanned to update your inventory system. Automated vehicles and conveyors then move everything to the correct storage spot, saving time and reducing manual work.
-
Storage & Inventory ManagementSmart tags on items provide a real-time map of your entire inventory. Automated systems store and retrieve goods quickly, while sensors help monitor stock levels and spot misplaced items.
-
Order Picking & FulfillmentWhen an order comes in, the system creates the smartest picking route for staff or robots. Tools like pick-to-light systems ensure accuracy before items are automatically sent to be double-checked and packed.
-
Packing & ShippingAutomated systems pack and seal orders, while smart scales ensure shipping costs are accurate. A final scan instantly creates the shipping label and begins tracking the package for you and your customer.
-
Outbound & Last MileHigh-speed sorters automatically direct each package to the correct delivery truck. Real-time tracking continues as it's loaded, giving you complete visibility all the way to the customer's doorstep.
