Supply chain management covers all activities of an organization from the receipt of raw materials to the delivery of finished products to customers. RFIDHY’s RFID solutions can play a role in nearly every link in the supply chain, from receiving components or raw materials at a receiving station to delivering finished products to a customer’s facility.

RFID Solutions Customized for Your Industry
1) RFID tagging of raw materials to increase their traceability
Gain insight into your supply chain with RFIDHY’s RFID asset tracking solutions. Raw materials entering the manufacturing process can be tagged with RFID, which not only speeds up the picking process of raw materials, but also enables traceability of raw materials throughout the manufacturing process. RFIDHY’s RFID solutions are ideal for specific industries where specific lot numbers and/or raw material batch numbers can be traced back to specific manufactured products. Using RFID to track raw materials also allows for real-time inventory tracking of raw material levels.
2) RFID tag WIP to optimize manufacturing process
Visibility also extends to the specific equipment used and, of course, to the product being manufactured. Track WIP across the manufacturing floor, providing visibility into where and when WIP stays at each manufacturing stage.
3) Line changeover is automated by RFID tagging of raw materials and tools
Other benefits of using RFIDHY’s RFID asset tracking solutions in the supply chain include automation and improved accuracy. E.g. Automating the conversion process can greatly improve productivity and accuracy. It eliminates the meticulous and time-consuming manual tasks that need to be done by qualified personnel, which always have the potential for human error.
4) Finished products can be labeled with RFID tags at the end of the production line
The supply chain doesn’t end when manufacturing is complete. Finished goods need to be tracked from the manufacturing facility through the warehouse or distribution center to the consumer/customer. RFID tagging of finished products provides visibility of their location as they are shipped out of the factory and into the warehouse. The dwell time in the warehouse can be tracked. Various metrics about productivity, inventory management, and pricing can be calculated using this data.
TO Sum Up
RFIDHY’s RFID solutions can also help in the aftermarket phase, especially in industries where products are returned to the factory as RMA or maintenance/repair. It is possible to see how the product goes through various tests and processes within the factory, and customers can be notified when the product is ready to be shipped back to their factory.
Since most organizations have supply chain enterprise systems, ERP systems and/or MES systems, RFIDHY has bi-directional integration with enterprise systems such as SAP, JDE, Oracle, etc.
