RFID tags in Inventory management

2018-10-25 View:

Accurate inventory information is important to the efficiency of every  workshop. RFID tags can help to improve inventory management. By tracking products and equipment, RFID help to regulate the inventory of a manufacturing unit, allowing users to better forecast their needs with real-time data on raw material, equipment, or supply demands. Also, by maintaining equipment and tool location inventories, RFID can improve production scheduling or eliminate the need to reorder materials that are thought to be lost. 


When RFID is implemented for inventory management, users can effectively reduce costs and waste by applying the technology to increase product visibility and enhance stocking/reordering processes. RFID can locate tagged materials and supplies. Using RFID tags to manage equipment and tool locations allows users to improve production scheduling by identifying which objects are in use or can be allocated to a specific project. Further, the ability to pinpoint the quantity of remaining supplies and their exact locations can improve production line movement, decreasing downtime and shrinkage. 


Because workshop are often busy, chaotic environments, shrinkage is common. Inventory shrinkage refers to a number of unrelated causes that render products unaccounted for under inventories. This could include materials that are no longer usable or items that are lost or damaged. Shrinkage can also occur when employees purposely keep assets/tools accessible in convenient places. This makes it appear as though these items are missing from inventory, leading to unnecessary replacement purchases. With RFID tracking in place, locating these assets is easier, which saves search time and replacement costs.
