Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) provides new and profitable opportunities for increasing organisational, financial and operational performance. DENSO WAVE EUROPE, a member of the Toyota Group, has developed and deployed various RFID readers and solutions, which are used for inventory management, for warehouse management or shipping controls.
DENSO WAVE EUROPE, the experts for mobile data collection and auto-ID solutions, believes that RFID technology will continue to play a significant role in optimising processes and bringing the benefits of digitisation to physical locations. “Two of the key advantages of RFID are precision and speed,” says David Walker, RFID expert at DENSO WAVE EUROPE GmbH. “However, there are so many more benefits of the RFID technology, especially in retail and logistics with their complex structures and new challenges.”
Walker refers to the increasing demand of digitisation processes in general and during the Coronavirus pandemic in particular. “New business models are emerging quickly nowadays, hence supply chains will need to make shifts to accommodate the new demands. RFID is the technology that can help companies, especially retailers and logisticians, meet a new future,” continues Walker.
“RFID increases sales and profit by saving time and providing greater stock accuracy. It can be stressful to scan individual items one at a time, which can also lead to human error. With RFID however, employees can quickly scan an entire area within seconds, rather than having to point at and scan each item individually. DENSO’s RFID readers impress, among other things, with their outstanding reading speed. As DENSO has developed a range of RFID devices, we can offer the right one for every purpose,” explains Walker.
RFID implementation can be flexible as supply chains can implement RFID solutions at any point in their processes. The key benefit of this concept is that when distributing RFID tagged items to different locations, these items do not need to be tagged over and over again. Instead, accurate interpretation of cases and pallets is possible along the way. Greater inventory accuracy also leads to more customer satisfaction and ultimately to more turnover and profit.
