Lifecycle tracking of chemical substances and end products of chemical production is often required by law. However, tracking can also be quite beneficial for companies acting in the business as they gain better visibility to their internal operations and can react faster to customer demand.
To create a unique identity to liquids, powder and other substances may be challenging, but to follow the container on which they are transported is not. Turck Vilant Systems solution offers full supply chain visibility for bulk containers in which chemical substances are typically transported.

Contact usDistribution centres, warehouses, production plants as well as sales locations benefit from literally no-touch goods receiving. RFID shifts any company from having to scan items manually to stock or not scanning at all, to automatic registering of inbound shipments. The shipments may be registered on box, pallet, roller cage or item level – dependent on the type of data needed.

Forklifts equipped with RFID readers know which materials they carry on their fork and their movement from one hall to another is registered. Furthermore, RFID read points on production lines register the usage of material and hence automatically deduct the used amount from material inventory.

As chemical materials such as powder or liquid are packed in barrels, big bags or other containers, the container is given a unique identity. From this point onwards each container and its content can be traced.

Forklifts, payloaders and tractors are equiped with RFID reader keep track of any items they carry on their fork. As they move in the production estate, their movement from one hall to another or on the yard can easily be tracked. A smart integration to WMS or ERP systems ensures that data is always up-to-date.

picking accuracy
RFID verifies the correctness of shipments before they are loaded onto vehicle. The RFID system is in constant interaction with the Warehouse Management System (WMS) and in case of wrong items are loaded, false loading alarms are initiated immediately. Automatic registration of shipped items is generated for later tracking purposes.

A manual process for goods receipt takes up time and is prone for error. RFID allows distribution centres, warehouses, production plants as well as sales locations benefit from literally no-touch goods receiving with highest data accuracy.
Raw material on-demand availability is key for lean production. When Forklifts are equiped with RFID readers they know what they carry on their fork. And as the forklifts move in the production estate, their movement from one hall to another can easily be tracked. Furthermore, RFID read points on production lines register the usage of material and hence automatically deduct the used amount from material inventory.
Chemical products such as liquid and powder are difficult to tell apart by nature. RFID helps give a unique and easily registrable identity to barrels, big bags or IBCs (intermediate bulk containers). Hence picking, finding, loading and tracking chemical matters speeds up.
Visibility on material and finished product stock is key in lean operations. When forklifts, payloaders or tractors are equiped with RFID reader they keep track of any items they carry on their fork. And as they move in the production estate, their movement from one hall to another or on the yard can easily be tracked. A smart integration to WMS or ERP systems ensures that data is always up-to-date.
Picking items for shipment can be automated with RFID to ensure high picking accuracy at a high speed. The operator of a forklift truck, paylaoder or tractor gets a pick-list for his forklift PC. The RFID reader verifies that the item on the fork matches the pick order. The application on the forklift PC prompts for any items that do not belong to the pick list.
Delivery inaccuracies cause customer dissatisfaction, missed deadlines and cost. Payloaders, forklift trucks, tractors and AGVs equipped with RFID help verify that correct items are loaded onto vehicle. A The RFID system is in constant interaction with the Warehouse Management System (WMS), which manages the shipment. The loaded products are registered as delivered for the customer in question and hence are later traceable and fulfill any legal traceability oblications.
