Electronics Manufacturer Moves to RFID

Mitsubishi Electric Asia, a Singapore-based industrial and electronics products manufacturer, has decided to abandon their strenuous and disorganized process of traditional inventory management. Yup – you guessed it – they’re evolving to RFID.

Once validation is complete, the workers encode and affix the RFID labels to the boxes and read the labels' embedded tags. The tag passes the information to the RITS server, which updates the inventory data in the back-end systems. Later, when the company sells and ships out inverters to customers, the workers read the RFID labels to ensure the right goods have been picked and packed by comparing each label with shipping and order data retrieved wirelessly from the RITS server. After confirming validation, the system updates the shipping information for that particular order as it is shipped out.

This is yet another example of the straightforward, undemanding, efficient and resourceful use of RFID technology.
