Don't Miss These Exciting Live Demonstrations in the Exhibit Hall

Demos: GS1 US RFID Apparel Demo || RFID-Enabled Supply Chains

Rush Tracking Systems and several key partners will provide a live manufacturing supply chain demonstration in the event's main exhibit hall. This demonstration will show how a variety of RFID technologies can be brought together across several common use cases, in order to improve supply chain performance.

The demonstration will be relevant to typical use cases found in industrial manufacturing, automotive, agribusiness, paper, food, consumer packaged goods (CPG) and government businesses.

The demonstration will include:

Receiving into warehouse
A pallet of goods will be received and identified with portal, handheld and lift-truck readers. Products will be staged in a bulk-storage receiving area, where Rush Tracking Systems will demonstrate the location-tracking capability of its RFID-enabled lift-truck, known as "VisiblEdge," within the storage location.

Put-away
Rush Tracking Systems will automatically capture a pallet's location in the bulk-storage receiving area, and move it onto storage shelving, with NO bar-code scanning required. The company will demonstrate the tracking and reporting capability by showing the pallet ID and its location automatically, without scanning, thereby allowing warehouse operators to locate the precise location of any pallet in a warehouse in real time.

Picking and shipping
Rush Tracking Systems' new Orchestrator product will guide operators to the proper locations for picking product, and then have that product validated, in order to ensure work-order integrity, prior to moving the goods to staging or shipping departments. The system will show a work order, confirmation that the correct items are picked up, and the work order's automatic completion.

Asset utilization and optimizing labor standards
See how warehouse operators can track inventory transaction data, along with lift-truck movements and pallet shuffles. And see reporting for vehicle and labor productivity, as well as real-time monitoring of a forklift fleet, allowing a company to provide accurate, timely feedback regarding labor, optimize processes and improve warehouse success metrics.
