Automatic shipments - RFID guarantees accuracy

RFID ensures error-free deliveries to automatic shipments

A short introduction to Automatic Shipments with RFID

It is crucial that shipping and loading of deliveries happens at speed especially in peak hours. To expedite the process, the correctness of the shipment can be verified already at the packing phase. When picking and packing single handling units to a shipment, RFID is used to automatically identify item level tagged products, and to verify that all needed products have been added to this shipment.

With our RFID-based shipment verification the entire chain from receiving a pick list to loading the delivery can be streamlined and secured. This speeds up the process, removes all manual errors, cuts down stock turnaround time and increases customer satisfaction just to mention few of the advantages.
