When you’re under pressure to track materials, supplies, and products more efficiently, there are a few solutions that rev up operations better than radio frequency identification (RFID).
A well-engineered RFID solution can automatically locate and track inventory, assets, and personnel with greater speed and accuracy than traditional methods, giving you a better view of your entire business.
RFID has a lot of moving parts and requires careful planning. But the results can be unbeatable in fast-paced manufacturing environments and T&Loperations. However, there’s more to implementing RFID than you might realize.
Unless properly engineered, metals and liquids can play havoc with RFID. Reader and tag frequencies can collide. Also, tags not made for your environment can fade or fall off.
If you’re considering a new or upgraded factory or field based RFID systems. It pays to work with an experienced RFID partner who can help you work through everything. From antennas and readers to printers and tags to build a system that delivers the results you expect without blindsiding you with extra costs.
RFID Printers and Tags
As tagged assets or people move through your operations, a network of readers and antennas capture information that you can use for purposes that range from inventory management and product tracing to personnel tracking and access controls. You can tag just about anything that you need to track if you have printers that are capable of RFID encoding. That makes RFID labels and printers key components of any RFID solution.
