Millions of returnable transport items (RTIs) such as containers, bins, pallets, racks and kegs move through the global supply chain, providing the most fundamental way in which parts, materials and finished goods reach their destination. However, the inability to effectively track these returnable and reusable assets creates considerable productivity, labor, cost and time inefficiencies. The end result is that companies spend more money purchasing additional logistics assets and hiring adequate labor to manage them.
Each unique item can be identified and all its movements are registered. The in/out flow of goods can be controlled in bulk. RFID Asset Tracking enables you to know at any time the exact location of your RTIs and rental items. You can also evaluate the turnaround times of your logistics processes and thus improve your logistics flow. In addition, RFID Asset Management allows to trace not only the location and status of the assets, but also their history and use, giving you automatic updates on wear and life cycle. In this way, maintenance and replacements can be optimally scheduled.
Returnable containers are the primary method of transporting parts throughout modern supply chains. The use of returnable containers:
To track Returnable/Reusable Transport Items, we use radio frequency identification (RFID) or Beacon technology to help improve the management of assets. Our specially designed SmartX HUB system identifies individual pieces of equipment and tracks them across different sites to ensure they are in the place where they are needed.
The SmartX HUB solution dramatically raises asset efficiency, helping you to reduce purchases and optimize your rental program. Shrinkage control reduces lost, stolen or misplaced assets, with annual savings in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
