Enhance Warehouse Worker Productivity and Asset Utilization
with Forklift Mounted Systems
Imagine a mobile RFID system capable of providing powerful real-time location information and RFID tracking capabilities throughout the real-world environment of a warehouse. Join us for this session and learn about unique advantages delivered by forklift mounted RFID systems. In addition to being less disruptive to business processes, forklift RFID systems can drastically reduce deployment costs. During this session we will talk about RTLS (real time location service), which enables real time monitoring of inventory moves resulting in increased accuracy, reduced inspection costs and increased asset utilization through scheduled maintenance and asset tracking.

Virgin Atlantic Airways Tracks High Value Parts
Virgin Atlantic Airways tagged airplane components in its Heathrow Airport warehouse in a pilot study last year in London. The airline reports on the test of RFID and how it affected the time spent searching for missing high-value parts for the servicing of airplanes. Less time locating parts means less expense. Virgin is considering expanding the program to its other warehouses, which would enable employees to locate parts they need anywhere in the world.
Speakers:
| |
Mark Butler, Systems Implementation Manager, Virgin Atlantic |
Takeaways:
|
Insights into how different RFID technologies perform in challenging manufacturing environments |
|
How to tag high-value metal parts |
|
How to integrate RFID data with existing parts tracking systems |
|
| |
|
| 2:45 pm |
Finding Internal ROI From RFID
Spirit AeroSystems, a 76-year-old former division of Boeing, uses RFID internally to tag parts, track work in process, and automated decision-making (informing workers which process to perform as parts are scanned). Its next goal is to find ways to integrate RFID with its suppliers and vendors to achieve benefits for all.
Speaker:
Takeaways:
|
How to integrate RFID data on work in process with legacy systems |
|
Benefits of tracking of parts and tools with RFID |
