Inventory precision and automated consumption tracking—powered by RFID
RFID tracks pulp units en route to customers and records consumption. Our solution automates stock file corrections, consumption tracking and on-demand delivery order processing.
A short introduction to Pulp Tracking with RFID
Pulp tracking with the help of RFID ensures each import and export unit and their route-to-market and consumption is efficiently monitored.
The Turck Vilant Systems Pulp Tracking Solution
Keeping track of materials and inventory is essential for all production planning and order fulfillment. Using RFID offers a hundred-fold speed compared to bar codes, not to mention the potential to automate the actual identification process. Implementing RFID on pulp bales or pulp bale units ensures visibility and data accuracy.
Turck Vilant Systems offers an RFID toolkit that generates a unique identity to a pulp bale when it is manufactured. The item or lot is from that point on tracked each time it passes an RFID read point, for example, on a conveyor belt, onboard a forklift truck, and when entering a specific warehouse. RFID usage speeds up picking, finding, loading, and tracking the units. The system tracks all warehouse movements, records consumption, ensures shipment accuracy, and removes manual errors through automation.
Turck Vilant Systems Solution for Pulp Tracking
- Creates unique identity to pulp units
- Records all warehouse transfers made with forklifts
- Automatically registers pulp as arrived or shipped
- Ensures delivery accuracy by verifying correct products are loaded
- Logs all RFID evens and documents batch history
A Step-by-Step Approach to RFID for Pulp Supply Chain
Placing RFID read points at key warehouse zones and transition points enables real-time visibility into material availability. When integrated with forklift operations, stock movements and location updates are logged automatically—eliminating manual input and delays.
Labelling
Assign an RFID tag to pulp bale units to give them a unique identity.
Shipment
Use RFID readers on conveyor belts or forklift trucks with RFID to register the shipment of pulp bales to the harbour.
Pulp Harbor
Equip forklift trucks with RFID to update pulp harbor stock according to the pulp they carry on their forks.
(Un)Loading
During loading, harness the RFID system on the forklifts to read the unique IDs of pulp bales, mark them as loaded, and record the time and destination.
Ship Pulp
When a solid track-and-trace solution is in place, it keeps track of pulp bales at logistical hubs and their shipment to customers.
Receive Pulp
Install RFID readers at the destination to automatically receive pulp to stock and use the system to update the inventory system.
Consumption
Implement RFID readers in production to register pulp consumption to benefit replenishment and invoicing.
