Guest Series Part 2: RFID-Based Materials Management — A Game Of "What If"
By Jon Chesser and Vincent Hsieh, Atlas RFID Solutions
No matter how effective a manual system may seem, because the recording of material movement is not automated, data becomes obsolete very quickly. To make matters worse, unique material identification numbers are often hand-written, painted, or etched onto material and can become faded, smeared, removed, or hidden by other materials or elements like grass, dirt, or snow. Thus, manual tracking of pre-engineered components leads to increased instances of components that are "not immediately found," which leads to higher costs and decreased productivity.

consumer goods manufacturers have scaled back their
RFID compliance programs.
