Smart Sensing RFID enables operators, businesses to manage their supply chains with unprecedented levels of automation and creating an advantage and control. Vehicle smart sensing identification used on entry to facility, shipment information: transportation companies are using tags on vehicles to identify them when arriving at sites. Information is then sent into the ERP systems, including yard management and warehouse management system in order to facilitate quicker planning and association to a loading bay and subsequent further processed by the WMS.
Smart Sensing Vehicle Increased visibility and accuracy of assets and pinpoint the fleet information in real-time with via voice, email and location. RFeye offers the added advantage of helping you reduce labour, carrying and inventory costs by managing an array of data that’s available to you when and where you need it. Ability to decrease on-site dwell time to increase deal, customer responsiveness and as a result, reduce labor costs for vehicle processing.
Smart Sensing Streamlines Inventory, Resources, Cargo and Break Bulk Operations
- support various Ro-Ro vehicle operations
- simplify billing
- improve control over container freight stations,
- extend customization with mobility framework capabilities
- ensure that no process steps are missing
- guarantee quality because every vehicle meets customer and dealer specifications
Smart Sensing Yard Management
- identify shipping bottlenecks
- rapidly adjust delivery schedules
- access historical data on location and status of assets (without written logs)
- achieve supply chain visibility to meet SLAs
- automate workflows and processes while capturing data on tracked assets across various sites
Smart Sensing Heavy Commercial Tractor and Long Vehicle Trucks and Trailer identification: The Smart Sensing Tag on the trailer bed is used to identify to the driver (linked with a RFID, BLE or telematics system), to ensure that he has hitched up to the correct trailer. The information is sent via GPRS or thru RFID active Tag to the vehicle’s telematics system. This system confirms the correct trailer is collected and dispatched.
Smart Sensing Trailer load identification at Check point and Super Gates: Where curtain sided vehicles are used, there is the possibility to read passive, UHF-Tagged pallets or stillages, without the need to fold back the curtain itself. So, when a vehicles stops at the super gates, the pallet/stillage contents can be verified as the vehicle slowly goes through. When relayed back to the ERP/WMS system, generating smart alert status notifications for shipment onboard on their journey.
Smart Sensing Wheelie Bin identification, for environment charges, also skips: Domestic refuse charges is legislated and coupled with a vehicle telematics system linked to an smart RFID reader and load-cell (weight), this solution records a loaded and tare weight of a bin and the associated user.
Smart Sensing Commercial waste skip: an Active RFID tag on skips for identification and location at the refuse sites can associate charges to the skip owner.
Smart Sensing Road Revenue (e.g. tolling, bridges, tunnels and fast track): Overhead gantries Smart Sensing tags in cars give access/payment to toll roads, bridges, tunnels and zonal access.
Smart Sensing Hired Equipment – identification at site, reduction of loses/theft: Active tagging of plant equipment to provide security (illegal removal), location and hire-rate charges (when it was removed and hire ends).
Smart Sensing Card or eWallets, transport payments current used by major cities, transport in road, metro, Rail, Sea Taxi’s, fueling stations network. Enables both pay as you go and season ticket applications to be operated or an RTA account manages cashless and scratch cards transaction and stationary is accessible in all outlets.
Smart Sensing of fixed roadside assets or inventory used during surveys or repairs: Local authorities and highway contracted agency can identify assets (lamp-posts, etc) as they pass them (x-reference with GPS positioning) to allow quick surveys. Smart Sensing Geo marking where required during inspection, service and survey.
Smart Sensing temporary road assets (barriers, cones): Contractors have to remove/account for all assets left on repair sites, otherwise they could be liable to fines. Enabling the vehicles with a RFID ‘portal’ and tagging the assets could enable automatic checking in/out assets from the vehicle with an electronic manifest automatically updated.
Smart Sensing Shipment Transportation Cycle from origin to destination – Choose optimal routes with real-time dispatch and scheduling based on current conditions. Assign and revise schedules for load changing. Bypass yard congestion by setting priorities for cargo and equipment loading and unloading. Identify precise contents of a shipment, including load/unload/crossdock information.
Smart Sensing Shipment information and Delivery status – Capture digital signatures electronically and integrate barcode data so you gain complete tracking of pallets and individual items from dispatch to destination, including pinpointed departure/arrival times, plus duration of stops in between.
Convenience of mobile printing – Your clients gain the choice of having delivery receipts and on-site invoices printed at destination.
Smart Sensing Transportation of Hazardous material and Zones (e.g. tanker loading, etc), vehicle alerts near walkways: Active tags (esp. Real Time Location Systems (RTLS)) can be used on personnel for muster station confirmation. Also man-down (with tilt/orientation sensors), RTLS systems can also provide alerts when people enter dangerous or unauthorized areas of the facility.
RFeye gives you the most specialist insight into the breadth of opportunities the technology offers in terms of delivering improvements within transport applications. While some application areas are in their infancy and additional development is required to enable business to realize the business benefits of the technology, many government authorities and companies are already deploying the technology and achieving real benefits.
- Real-time, accurate operational data monitoring and visibility.
- Improved agility and responsiveness through end-to-end process integration throughout the supply chain.
- End-to-end process integration through the integration of disparate systems, the elimination of islands of automation and of any “black holes.”
- Elimination of lag times among processes and reduction of cycle times for streamlined product movement.
- Reduction in product and process errors and associated rework through the automation of standard processes, which allows human resources to focus more closely on exception processing.
- Automation allows human intervention to be reduced — or even eliminated — allowing manufacturers to deal with changing team and workforce trends.
- Improved information access via insight into execution-level activities and associated performance across the enterprise.
- Reduction in the risk of regulatory, mandated and customer/partner non-compliance by facilitating compliance management.
- Reduction in organizational and logistical complexities and operational costs through simplified and more efficient manufacturing Business End distribution processes.
The goal of continuous, bi-directional and enterprise-wide data visibility can be realized, enabling the factory of the future.
