The following summary briefly describes how Fangtooth RFID can be deployed in some industries to improve efficiency:
Manufacturing
Fangtooth RFID solution is used to enable work and process tracking. This eliminates the need for manual process to update the status of assembly line within the manufacturing floor.
Fangtooth RFID solution can be used to signal the usage of material by automatic updating of raw material inventory levels, which in turn enables the inventory management system to automatically generate Purchase orders as and when required. This ensures accuracy and minimum lost production time resulting from under-stocked situations. Operational efficiency is gained and this ultimately leads to increased productivity and a high level of customer-satisfaction.
By encoding product serial numbers and batch/lot identification data into the read-only RFID memory, the manufacturer is able to provide re-traceability and product authentication. This is a useful feature for warranty claims and verification of authentic products and parts.
Pharmaceutical
Rigid and strict government regulations demands
accurate audit-trails of drugs from the source
to final destination. Pharmaceutical companies
are held accountable for any irregularities.
Using Fangtooth RFID technology, they are
able to track and monitor the movement of
batches and containers of medications through
the entire supply chain to ensure safety,
eliminate counterfeit, correct labeling and
accurate distribution. Not only does this
ensure an effective flow of processes, but
the data can also be used as an accurate source
of statistical information i.e. trends, brand
popularity, increased or decreased demand
of certain drugs or drug categories, and so
on. Application...
Healthcare
Fangtooth RFID aids hospital staff in their efficiency, especially in emergency situations by tracking medical equipment. These equipments are moved around between wards, theatres and different floor-levels, and in the case of life-threatening emergency, it is vital that the location of the RIGHT equipment can quickly be established.
To facilitate security and access control to restricted areas and to accurately identify patients Fangtooth Wrist-tags are used. With RFID readers installed in theatres, it is possible to monitor and record the time a patient spends in an operating theatre. This makes for more accurate billing and resolves disputes between surgeons/hospitals and medical aid insurance companies. Demo-Indoor Patient Tracking
Warehouse Management
Fangtooth RFID technology enables accurate, real-time and dynamically updated data. By tagging inventory items or containers, information about location, quantity and movement of those items is available at all times. The possibility of human error is eliminated through RFID tagging.
Inventory re-ordering becomes more effective due to the fact that replenishment decisions are based on accurate information. The process of pick-and-pack is greatly improved through knowing the exact location of inventory items within the warehouse, even when misplaced. Thus delivery lead-times are reduced and a high level of customer-satisfaction is maintained. It is easy to see how Fangtooth RFID can be used to achieve the highest level of productivity and a smooth flow of processes in every operation of warehouse management.
Occupational Safety
Fangtooth RFID holds an important place in enforcing occupational safety policy by providing an automated platform for dynamic monitoring of personnel and assets.
For example, monitoring the usage of machinery which can only be operated by trained personnel, or assessing an increasing risk within hazardous areas depending upon the number of people present. Only RFID technology can turn these requirements in to real solutions. Fangtooth RFID can help solve these problems by providing real time management data that can be acted upon immediately.
Smart Buildings
Fangtooth RFID technology can be deployed to provide a complete "smart" building management system for the corporate environment. By enabling the tracking, monitoring and protection of all assets. Through this a more controlled and productive environment is created in which daily business activities are handled more effectively and efficiently.
