Mobile RFID Labelling for Warehouse Management

Warehouses of all sizes continue to adopt radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to dramatically streamline their data capture. RFID labelling offers several advantages for warehouse management over standard barcodes including inventory control and a reduction in errors.

Desktop RFID printers may limit the benefits of RFID labelling. Due to the printer being fixed or stationary, it requires warehouse staff to spend a considerable amount of time travelling to-and-from a centralised print station within a warehouse to print the necessary RFID label(s). Conveniently and efficiently print labels at the point of application with mobile RFID printers.

Advantages of Mobile RFID Technology

Address the pain points fixed or stationary RFID printers may cause for your warehouse operations by adding mobile RFID printers. Mobile solutions further improve warehouse workflows by eliminating the wasteful walk between the items needing a label and the printing workstation. Save time and reduce the errors with less potential distractions that may arise during the walks to print labels. Additionally, recognize the labour cost savings and productivity gains ultimately resulting in a rapid ROI.

With a mobile RFID printer, improve a variety of warehouse operations including:

Receiving Dock

  • Apply labels on incoming materials immediately as they are unloaded
  • Prepare items faster for scanning and other automated processing systems

Quality Assurance

  • Tag items with a tracking label for indicating required tests
  • Identify samples with test result (pass, rework or reject) labels

Cross Docking

  • Generate a shipping label with required cross-dock information
  • Process fast-moving items accurately without delays

Putaway

  • Easily track of the batch of items between receiving and having them placed in assigned locations
  • Less delay in process keeps the warehouse organised against a higher chance of damage to the items
  • Reduce the risk of misplacing or losing items

 

Picking 

  • Instantly generate labels on picked items to expedite the sorting of items
  • Enable operators to pick multiple orders simultaneously—reducing empty travel time

 

Packing

  • Apply labels at the point of assembly or packaging on demand
  • Correctly identify the parts that are hard to identify and likely to be mistaken for on another
