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

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.
