The Current Situation and Challenges of Industrial Automation Inventory Management

As the scale of manufacturing expands, the drawbacks of traditional inventory management, which relies on manual recording and bar code scanning, have become increasingly evident. Errors in inventory counts and omissions lead to annual global losses of over 30 billion US dollars . And RFID technology, through wireless radio frequency identification, provides a disruptive solution for industrial automation.

Why choose RFID technology?  Three core advantages？

Millisecond-level real-time data collection

RFID tags can read data in batches within a 10-meter range, enabling a real-time inventory tracking system for production line materials and warehouse shelves.

99.9% inventory accuracy rate

Compared with the 85% reading success rate of bar code technology, the anti-fouling and penetrating characteristics of RFID completely eliminate human errors.

Full-process automated closed loop

Seamlessly connected with MES/WMS systems, triggering intelligent replenishment solutions , reducing downtime waiting time.

Typical application scenarios of RFID in the manufacturing industry

Automotive Parts Management: After adopting RFID technology, the mismatch rate of a certain automotive company decreased by 73%

Anti-Error Mechanism for Electronic Components: By binding a unique electronic ID, precise material supply can be achieved on the SMT production line

Intelligent Supervision of Hazardous Chemicals: Temperature/vibration sensing RFID tags automatically issue warnings for abnormal inventory

Key considerations for implementing the RFID systemrfid-tags-tracking-system

  • Tag selection: Anti-metal tags are suitable for metal items and shelf items
  • Reader deployment: Design a radio frequency coverage network based on the warehouse workflow
  • System integration: Connect to the existing industrial automation inventory management platform through API

Success Case: How RFID Helps Enterprises Reduce Costs and Enhance Efficiency

Case 1: Intelligent Warehouse Transformation of a Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Giant

By deploying an RFID inventory management system, this enterprise achieved:

  • The inventory accuracy rate has increased from 85% to 99.5%;
  • The order fulfillment time has been shortened by 40%;
  • The annual operational cost savings exceed 2 million US dollars.

Case 2: Breakthrough in the application of discrete manufacturing

An aerospace enterprise uses RFID technology to track high-value components, eliminating the risk of human errors in inspection, while meeting the strict requirements of the ISO 9001 quality management system.
