RFID - The Essential Basics of Warehouse & Distribution Applications

11/10/2019

0 Comments

 
​Start by Imagining This: An RFID portal at your warehouse/DC dock door reads data on RFID tags (“what or who are you?”), applied at the supplier source, and simultaneously, from cartons, pallets or other types of containers as they are unloaded from the truck. RFID provides immediate verification (“this is who I am”) of all the contents of the load and real-time visibility. Data is transferred to your warehouse management system (WMS). The WMS then reconciles the product received against open purchase orders. It identifies those items that can be cross-docked (“tagged” against open customer orders) and those that can be staged for stock put-away.

The Future of Inventory & Supply Chain Management & Execution For Wholesale Distributors

11/10/2019

A THOUGHT LEADERSHIP WHITE PAPER

Where Are We Today? Wholesale Distributors have been in the business of managing their inventories for years…even generations. Yet most appear to be satisfied with the typical 3 to 4-inventory turns a year (some a little more, some a little - or a lot less). Frankly, I don’t understand why this is acceptable in an era where profits, cash flow and competitive advantage are critical success factors.
