Logistic Management
The RFID based logistics management solution proposed by BSD Infotech offers a customizable logistics automation system. It automates the whole process of transportation from the very beginning, i.e., loading of items onto the truck to its delivery at the destination
Various actions performed by our RFID based logistics system includes: identification, access control, validation and verification, data analysis, and data maintenance. The amount of products in terms of no. of items/ weight of loads is attached to the associated tags, and accurate measurement is maintained throughout. It ensures no product mix and complete traceability of the performed loads.
Our application software is integrated with exclusive applications for each particular use such as inventory management as well as tracking of vehicles at various points. The GPS/ GPRS features of our handheld readers even add to the capability of tracking of vehicles.
Fixed RFID readers are placed wherever it is needed to capture or monitor data. Data is read whenever the RFID tags come in the range of these readers, and is automatically updated. In case of hand- held terminal, their unique feature of geo- fencing enables us to restrict their use to a limited area.
Where dispatch is the output of a manufacturing process rather than only a purchased-goods warehouse, see manufacturing software and ERP for the production side of the workflow.
Beyond in-transit tracking, BSD Infotech's RFID and barcode logistics solution extends into the warehouse itself, covering inbound and outbound movement, pallet and container-level tagging, and bin-location mapping. This lets warehouse staff put away, pick and reconcile stock faster, since items can be verified in bulk at a dock door or storage rack rather than being scanned one carton at a time.
Because RFID tags can be read without direct line-of-sight, entire pallets or truckloads can be captured in a single pass through a reader gate, which greatly reduces the missed reads and manual key-in errors that are common with purely barcode-based, item-by-item scanning. This gives a more accurate count of what has actually left a warehouse and what has arrived at a destination.
Combined with GPS/GPRS-enabled handheld readers on delivery vehicles, the solution gives real-time visibility of goods in transit at each checkpoint - loading dock, transit hub and final delivery point - so dispatchers and customers can see where a shipment is without having to call the driver. The same shipment and vehicle data can also be shared with fleet and transport management systems, helping plan routes and track vehicle utilization alongside the goods being carried.
Key benefits of BSD Infotech's RFID/barcode logistics management solution include:
- Pallet and container-level RFID tagging for fast, bulk, non-line-of-sight scanning.
- Real-time visibility of shipments across warehouses, transit hubs and delivery points.
- Warehouse automation for inbound/outbound tracking, put-away, picking and stock reconciliation.
- Fewer manual scanning errors compared to purely barcode-based, item-by-item processes.
- Integration with fleet/transport management systems and GPS/GPRS-enabled handheld readers.
- A complete audit trail of movements for compliance reporting and dispute resolution.
