The reason we, and our customers, have embraced and adopted RFID is simple: Automation speeds up processes, removes human error, and lets real human resources be allocated for higher level processes. That's the gist of how and why it works in manufacturing; it works with safety & equipment tracking systems in a similar fashion.

1. ROI of RFID

2. RFID delivers tangible benefits
• Speeds up and automates processes
• Removes human error
• Allows better resources allocation
• Safety & equipment tracking, not just inventory counts
• Flexibility to use across industries and enterprises

3. RFID revs up warehouse & distribution
• Replaces labor-intensive tracking processes
• Tracks items as they move from through various key locations
• Improves productivity / leaner operations
• Avoids/prevents inventory issues
• Case studies:
• Realized labor costs reductions of 7.5 % (warehouse)
• 5 to 40 % labor cost reductions (regional distribution centers)
Realized dramatic reduction (almost 90%) of pallet-build processes

4. RFID enhances distributor relations
Easy integration:
tag. scan. track.
• Helps distributors reduce labor costs and service fees
• Regulate stock management and inventory.
• Enhances inventory visibility and forecasting
• Case studies:
• Handling out-of-stock restocking and
replenishment tasks reduced by 15 to 20 %
• 50% improvement in stock availability.
• 16% average reduction in out-of-stocks

5. RFID achieves inventory accuracy
• Tracks materials, work-in-process and finished goods
• Reduces production delays
• Tracks delivered goods more accurately
• Manages and match demand better.
• Fewer write-offs for excess or obsolete inventory
• Case study
• 10-30% net savings via via lower safety stock requirements

6. RFID minimalizes loss & shrink
• Tracks pallets, cartons & individual product through supply chain
• Pinpoint and always-current product location
• Eliminates inventory errors
• Improves accountability by showing where in the process any
product is lost
• Case study: 18 % reduction in shrink

7. RFID prevents costly errors
• Automates data capture to eliminate data-entry errors
• Reduces costly labor spend required to resolve mistakes
• RFID helps recoup the cost of bad data

8. RFID manages capital assets securely
• Tracks hard to manage assets like shop tools & containers
• Increase capital asset accountability and visibility
• Locates movable assets
• Streamlines maintenance scheduling and proves assurance of
maintenance performance
• Case study: Workflow can be optimized by 20 % or more

9. RFID meets market mandates
• RFID required in many industry mandates
• Provides an advantage for those who proactively implement it
• Recent Federal Regulations call for shorter, more precise tracking in
critical industries such as food and pharmaceuticals
• RFID is the vanguard of response to mandates
