SATO, a barcode printing, labelling and EPC/RFID product firm, has published a whitepaper titled Ensuring RFID’s Bottom Line Payoff, which looks at how companies investing in RFID tagging of their products can maximise the benefits of its capability to drive business process improvement, increase supply chain efficiency and ultimately improve bottom line results.
“Instead of companies just seeing RFID tagging products as a way of satisfying the needs of their customers, and another cost of doing business, they can regard it as an opportunity to enhance productivity and profitability,” said Ikuo Dobashi, Chairman of SATO Corporation and SATO International Europe.
Understanding the impact of data collection and tracking as well as data integration is essential to RFID optimisation. Internally, companies can collect data at multiple points to make determinations about process or product flow improvements or to validate proper shipment components and quantities. External data can indicate problems with either too much or too little inventory in the supply chain, product idle time that can be removed from the system or even problems associated with out of stock conditions at the retailer. By gathering the data (internal and external) and turning that data into information, companies can begin to make supply chain decisions that can positively impact how business is done.
