What is RFID?

 


Do you know what is your current stock level in your shelves?
Do you know when to replenish your stock at the shelves?
Do you know where is the stock in the shop?
Do you know how much stock to buffer?

If these are the questions your business is facing… please read on….

Imagine that your shelves could continually and automatically broadcast what items reside on each specific shelf at any time! The ability to instantaneously track the movement of controlled substances, critical supplies, or other assets is now a reality. This is impossible today in the world of bar codes.

The Corporate Machine Intelli-Shelf is designed to effectively perform this function. Continuous cycle counting is possible with no human intervention. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology makes this possible and the results are nothing short of revolutionary to the way supply chain systems and their resulting financial performances are measured.

The Corporate Machine’s Intelli-Shelf product solutions incorporate custom designed antennas into the shelves. Items placed on the shelves have RFID tags or labels affixed to the items. RFID readers detect signals from the tags placed on shelf items and communicate vital information to the server via The Corporate Machine software. Information about the shelf items such as unique identification number, time, and location are collected and displayed automatically and without human intervention. Additional features that can be easily incorporated include continuous cycle count with no human intervention and "who removed the item" capability.

The Corporate Machine’s Intelli-Shelf can be used in most settings as well as vendor managed inventory (VMI) industrial settings. One of the key advantages TCM has built into its total solution product plans is the concept of one product design configurable to a wide range of application settings. The advantages of this approach include cost effective development, low cost production and a cost effective maintenance system.
