Automated yard management systems use RFID tags on trucks
and trailers to track their movement in real time and can use the
information for efficient, automated routing and workforce
management.
•Permanently identifying pallets and other
returnable logistics containers with RFID
tags facilitates automated tracking systems
that reduce manual handling and dwell times.
• Application software can take advantage of the
accurate, automatic identification to improve asset visibility and
issue management alerts when items are missing or returns are
overdue.
• The net result is improved asset utilization that
lets you run your business with less safety stock – and more
capital.
•A study by the MIT Auto-ID Center and Accenture found
companies could reduce their fixed assets one percent to five
percent by taking advantage of RFID.
