RFID-based load carriers

Where are my load carriers – and in what condition? The digital RFID-based load carrier answers these questions automatically and creates transparency over your material and production flows.

THE CORE PROBLEM

Do you recognise these questions from your daily business?

• →Where are my load carriers?
• →How many load carriers are available?
• →What condition are my load carriers in?

If these challenges sound familiar, the digital load carrier is the answer.

THE SOLUTION

The digital load carrier organises itself

As a key technology, RFID automatically generates movement data at relevant capture points – it arises as a by-product during transports and material movements. Thanks to automatic capture, no staff are needed.

The load carriers are marked with RFID labels so that location and status can be captured. The data is posted into the management system and creates the necessary transparency: the availability of the load carriers is assured, and disruptions to production and transport processes are ruled out.

MORE THAN TRANSPORT

The digital container also carries data

The advantages of the digitalised load carrier are manifold – because it transports not only physical objects but also carries data:

• →article number
• →batch
• →quantity
• →production status
• →route information

Through the automatic RFID capture of the digital container, postings on material flow and production flow take place – again without staff time. A significant benefit: based on the RFID captures, it can be verified whether the production sequence was observed and whether a material may be used, and batch checks become possible.
