System exceeds expectations
June 1st 2007 TOSHIBA Europe has
announced that the RFID
system implemented at its
plant in Regensburg,
Germany has exceeded
expectations and
produced two million RFID
tags after just six months
in operation.
The plant had suffered
from congestion in its
warehouses and
implemented the RFID
system in order to
establish an efficient,
error-free logistics process
at both the warehousing
and sales processing levels
without increasing overall
costs.
The RFID system, which
uses TOSHIBA B-SX4 label
printers and UPM Raflatec
RFID tags, is coupled to an
RFID reader from Tyco ADT
Fire & Security. It allows
pallets to flow
continuously through a
single RFID gate with the
entire content of each
pallet scanned and
booked in a single
movement before it is
stored for further
processing.
Dramatically reducing
the problem of congestion
between production and
finished goods
warehousing, the RFID
solution has resulted in an
increase in the daily
average throughput of
configured and ready for
shipment laptop PCs from
9,500 units per day to
17,300 units per day, an
increase of 81% with an
99.97% accuracy rate. More articles from Toshiba TEC Europe Retail Information Systems: |
