Tracking everything with RFID
Manufacturers tag underwear, laptops, and more
 | | RFID Conveyor System for item-level RFID |
Warrenton, VA - March 18, 2011 - Leading companies are tracking everything -- from laptops to underwear. "We order 10,000 laptops a quarter -- we can't manually tag them, it's too time consuming and we lose too many before we even get a tag on them. Pre-tagged RFID is the answer", says a government source.
Is RFID really protecting assets? "We are seeing a loss rate close to 0% on our RFID tagged assets vs. a number so high, I can't even reveal under NDA -- for non-tagged goods".
But, tagging underwear? Really? Visit your local superstore and take a look at their mens clothing section. Yes, a $4 pack of underwear has an RFID chip on the packaging. In fact, the numbers for retail loss are alarmingly high. These loses are all paid for by you, the consumer, in high prices. Overtime, these RFID chips will help lower the cost of your clothing even further by ensuring in-stock items are really in-stock and fewer losses occur in counting and shipping.
Tracking Everything: SimplyRFiD launched the Nox system two years ago to track assets. But, the item tagging process took too long for end-users and was not acurate. So, SimplyRFiD continued expanding Nox to cover the entire supply chain -- conveyors for item-level RFID association, palletizers for case/pallet tracking, portals for receiving, automated check-in/out, and handheld asset inventory tools. Today, a customer can send an electronic purchase order and receive an excel spreadsheet from the manufacturer with all the RFID tag numbers for their new laptops, servers, desks, or toner cartridges.
The Nox system is deployed at hundreds of manufacturers and is lowering the cost of goods and increasing the efficiency of the world-wide supply chain.
Launching today is the SimplyRFiD Nox-Virtual Edition (Nox-VE) Asset Tracking System. Now, all the goodness of the local high-speed NoxCore system is available on-line in a managed solution. Companies can deploy their asset tracking solution in minutes over the web and let SimplyRFiD handle the data center and operating expense.
