Ahlsell has 5.5 million deliveries each year in Sweden, a considerable volume demanding high precision, punctuality, and efficiency. The company needed a solution for effective asset tracking and automated loading control. Their previous barcode solution was slow and lacked sufficient control for such high volumes. This resulted in reactive error resolution and significant costs from misdirected shipments. In the year preceding the RFID rollout, Ahlsell had 110 boxes sent to wrong destinations, highlighting the critical need for a more advanced, accurate, and automated solution. Reactive tracking led to false reorders and out-of-shelf situations in stores with short replenishment cycles, directly impacting shipping accuracy.
The RFID implementation transformed Ahlsell’s loading verification process, ensuring exceptional shipping accuracy and on-time deliveries for its vast network. The system provides real-time visibility into loading status and completely automated traceability for handling unit status and delivery verification, including change of ownership at the dock door. This eliminated the need for manual scanning of 6,000 pallets daily and resolved issues with false reorders and out-of-shelf situations, guaranteeing correct product flow.
Ahlsell chose an external RFID solution, delivered by Turck Vilant Systems, to enhance their shipping accuracy. The system provides automation and efficiency for handling large volumes in a controlled manner:
