openID-CenteropenID-CenterDemonstration of process automation through decen-tralized dynamic informations using RFID technologies

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an ideal method to link the material flow with the information flow on a realtime communication level.

Optimization potentialOptimization potential

Example for optimization potential through the use of RFID solutions in warehouse management systems:

1. Simplification of complex centralised control infrastructure through decentralised self governd devices

2. Achieving fault tolerance through self-governd transportation processes

3. Easy and cost effective redirection and re engineering of existing processes

Warehouse-Management-SystemWarehouse-Management-SystemApplication ExamplesApplication ExamplesExample processes which could be optimized

with RFID solutions:1. Reusable Containers, multi path management2. Bulk reading and identification at the

warehouse ramp through reader gates3. Operation of self-governd transport vehicules4. Quality control in picking processes5. Automatic warehouse entry booking6. Printing and writing smart labels7. Automated inventory control by request

Example 1: Reusable containers Example 1: Reusable containers

For the multi-path management the RFID - technology offers thus substantial advantages:

1. cause-fair and accurate determination of utilization periods (- rotating payment)

2. Passes of containers through the process (repair and renewal intervals)

3. accelerated and automated collection and assortment transparent existence over all stages of the logistics chain

4. information about the previous use from multi-path containers 5. the improved reconditioning/cleaning regulation of ownership

structures in open pool systems 6. overview of possible third-party use of the containers

Example 2: Multi level identification Example 2: Multi level identification

The different properties of the various RFID technologies can be used in a diffent ways:

1. Long rage readable passive tags (UHF) can be uses for pallet tracking and multi path containers

2. High frequency passive tags (13,56 MHz) can be used on packages or one way containers

3. Low frequency passive tags (125 KHz, 134 KHz) can be used for item tagging

Dynamic informations:Through the writing capabilities and data storage on tags, it is possible to write the actual content of each tagging level on the tag: The pallet carries the list of the box tags, the box carries the list of he item tags

Example 3: self governd transport and Example 3: self governd transport and dynamic routing dynamic routing

• The tag on boxes or containers carries the destination and the job number beside to the unique id

• Self governed transport devices are picking the containers on defines locations, read their destinations and deliver them without the need of central control

• Transports devices read the destination and route the containers independantly to their destination

Example 4: Quality controlExample 4: Quality control

Automatic quality assurance at the shipping gate:

• The box or container tag holds the order number and the number of the picking list

• Through item level tagging all items could be identified and varified against the picking list at the shipping gate

INNOV-08 Integration of RFID with OpenEdge DABAC Integrierte EDV Organisation GmbH, Germany

Example 5: Shipping / ReceivingExample 5: Shipping / Receiving

Automatic control through shipping and receiving gates:

• Control of identity, quantity• Automatic date/time of

receiving / shipping

INNOV-08 Integration of RFID with OpenEdge DABAC Integrierte EDV Organisation GmbH, Germany

Example 6: Printing and writing smart Example 6: Printing and writing smart labelslabels• Marking of the goods (pallet,

container…) after goods receipt through a specific RFID-tag, which can be fixed on the goods

• Every tag (and thus the goods) gets a unique ID which identifies the good attribution stored in RFID database

INNOV-08 Integration of RFID with OpenEdge DABAC Integrierte EDV Organisation GmbH, Germany

Example 7: Inventory controlExample 7: Inventory control

• Automatic stock control– If the quantity of a particular good drops below a

specific value, the database recognizes this immediately

• Automatic bin location management– At each specific bin location, antenna and RFID

reader are installed; reader registers the quantity (availability) of the particular goods
