Radio Frequency Identification Technology And Information Sharing Platform For Storage

* Colson and Dorigo, (Liviu lliea, 2009) offer an example of a software tool that is built to measure warehouse activities. The criteria measured includes: storage surface and volume, dangerous items, temperature control, storage area separation, distance to transportation locations, certifications, hours of operation, customs assistance, technology integration, equipment handling, and dock activities.

This automated warehouse system is said to triple distribution productivity by using robots to whip merchandise from storage areas to the shipping bays. These robots have already taken the place of lots of warehouse workers, but at the same time have opened the door for newer jobs that require workers to program and interface with the robots to get the job done correctly. These robots really show how robots will be moving into the workplaces to change how people will do jobs. As this is happening now in the industry, it will be more commonly seen as the technology advances and cost of the robots is more manageable for the efficiency that it provides.

A new innovative warehouse system it is been introduced to ease the movement of items in warehouses this system includes autonomous mobile vehicles which will move quickly through the warehouse and load and move orders to the fulfilment platform.

Automatic identification is a technique which is used as an identification method for keeping appropriate stock units in the supply chain management, uses technologies such as RFID, barcodes etc. (Automatic Identification and Its Role in Warehouse Management, 2013). Automatic identification is a process of automatically recognizing the items, gathering the information about them, and entering that information right into computers without human intervention (What is Auto-ID, 2013). This process can also include gathering of external information through images, sounds or videos, transforming it into a digital file and keeping this file for future use. In order to manage

The company found a technology solution to help its distribution operations keep pace with the company’s growth – QuikTrac. With QuikTrac MMAS will be able to cut the time it takes to complete its physical inventory process in half and significantly improve inventory accuracy and warehouse efficiency using a wireless data collection solution that communicates in real time with its MAPICS enterprise resource planning system. Using label printers, MMAS has deployed bar coded location labels throughout its warehouse. Workers scan the location labels with the mobile computers, and key enter quantities during inventory moves. Warehouse employees will also use the devices for cycle counting, and annual physical inventories.

Engineering is giving organizations approaches to end up quicker and more effective in every aspect of the inventory control and supply chain, from the business to the consumer. The motivation behind this paper is to investigate one technology that has had an incredible effect on the production planning. This technology is the Radio Frequency identification (RFID).

modern SCM. How RFID has helped the industries improve their Supply Chain and what are the best practices/examples in today’s industries.

Academic researchers have recognised a gap exists between the actual and potential values of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in supply chain industry. This paper provides understanding into the tactical value of RFID by building a concept on how RFID used in supply chain management may create and withstand a competitive advantage. This reading uses a simulation model to determine the anticipated benefits of an integrated RFID system on a three-echelon supply chain attained through performance increases in efficiency, accuracy, visibility, and security level. The study examines how the

The change from a manual warehouse to an automated warehouse is significant and the impact of that change should never be under estimated. Even limited application of automated technologies will have a dramatic effect on the processes used in the warehouse, the management systems required to make it effective and on the people who have to adapt to accept its use.

Since its inception in 1980s, RFID received its first major public appearance in the popular media on July 11 2003, when Walmart Stores announced that it required its top 100 suppliers to affix Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags on all delivery cases and pallets by 1 Jan 2005 (Tirschwell, 2003). Wal-Mart began receiving RFID tagged delivery cases and pallets on April 30, 2004 (Roberti, 2004). Since then RFID has been explored and implemented intensively in Walmart and other industries such as medical care, asset tracking, warehouse management and retail. Pretty soon, it will be accepted more widely and will impact positively on role and importance of supply chain management. This report will closely evaluate the

Owing to receiving order through the Internet, this generates the value to lower level of inventories. However, the effect of holding lower inventories is tight support the decrease requirement of warehouse usage as well (Sarkis, Meade, and Talluri, 2004). As environmental friendly perspective, the definite advantages are lower energy consumption and eliminate quantity of toxic waste that represents the result of better warehousing management (Sarkis, Meade, and Talluri, 2004).

Auto Identification techniques and Warehouse Management systems (WMS) are playing a crucial role in success of supply chains like retail, e-commerce, auto-industry, manufacturing etc. by reducing the transaction process time, efficient inventory control, security and tracking. Barcodes is the most widely used Auto-identification techniques. Recently RFID has gain importance in tracking the objects, paper less good receipts. With major application focus on inventory tracking, security access control, implementation of Auto-ids, replenishment systems, smooth dispatching and integration through ERPs Warehousing Management systems gaining success in reducing the lead time.

In your business, space is about so much more than storage. While it does physically store your inventory, treating it as a means to an end costs you valuable opportunities for growth and efficiency. Well-designed storage solutions should offer everything your workflow needs, all at a glance. Each component of your shelving should have a defined purpose; your staff shouldn't be haphazardly loading up shelves when inventory comes in and later struggling to fit necessary overstock. If this sounds familiar, it's time to ask yourself a few tough questions.

Warehousing department: the building floor office of the organization consist of 90% space allocated to the warehousing task; hence, it is very important for the organization to have some employees dedicated for the task of managing the products in the warehouse and packing the products as the orders are received. Efficiency in this segment would be highly required and impact the delivery operations and timing of the company services (Dryburgh&Hewett, 2005). There are two warehouse pickers in the staff of the organization who are responsible to acknowledge the orders, find the relevant product in the warehouse, package it and send it to the shipping organization. Once this has been done, they are responsible to update the details of sales and remaining item information in the company warehouse inventory. The warehouse department requires a desktop computer for the employees to receive the order details and to
