RFID Solutions

RFID technology is changing how we track company products and assets. Companies across a broad spectrum of industries rely on critical assets to drive their business. Manufacturing companies rely on equipment availability and uptime to keep production lines moving and meet production goals. Lowdel provides integrated systems for companies to effectively manage tracking solutions.

The case for manufacturing efficiency has never been more important than it is today. Manufacturers are faced with globalization, increased competition and other economic pressures and must continuously look to drive “people” costs down, increase asset utilization and reduce material costs, while at the same time address customers who are demanding faster delivery, better customer service and customized products.

Asset Tracking

RFID from Lowdel Inc will help enterprises track and secure assets with very little human intervention. RFID is a real-time technology that takes asset management to the next level by providing visibility, accuracy and security. With RFID, companies can automatically keep track of key assets as they move in and out of an area.

Supply Chain Goals

RFID solutions will help manufacturers reduce operating costs by reducing labor costs, claims and returns, thereby increasing operating income. RFID will reduce working capital by enabling reductions in inventory and lowering inventory write-offs from returns. Manufacturers will increase revenue by reducing inventory, improving promotional execution, shrink management and forecast accuracy. On the shop floor, production time can be enhanced, as the flow of raw materials is better aligned to demand and build requirements. Product quality rises as line-sequencing and parts verification applications are implemented, increasing customer satisfaction.

Application

Improving receiving and sortation processes by deploying RFID readers at dock doors allows manufacturers instant verification of the entire contents of a shipment by reading an RFID-tagged case, container or pallet. The content’s status and information is updated and automatically communicated to the factory’s WMS/ERP system at the point of entry. The contents, now identified, are routed to sortation, then delivered with RFID-enabled material handling equipment, such as forklift trucks, to assembly, put-away or staging and delivery. RFID minimizes human errors and time-consuming steps in the process, increases inventory accuracy and provides real-time information for managers to make accurate decisions.
