How RFID enhances tracking of chemicals

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.

Automatic Goods Receipt

Distribution 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.

Material Availability

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.

Loading verification

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.
