RFID Warehouse Management
System in Malaysia

An RFID warehouse management system in Malaysia that’s not only reducing the dependencies on manpower but also eliminates unnecessary operation losses owing to human mistakes. With accurate inventories come greater planning and mobilisation of stock and cash flow.

1 Radio Frequency Identification in Warehouse Operations

Stocktake is one of the most highly concerned activities in any warehouse operation. It’s a cross-check & balance exercise to ensure the system inventory balance tallies with the physical count.

Statistics have proven that more stocktake leads to higher inventory accuracy hence better stock replenishment and revenue capture.

A manual (paper & pen) or 1D barcode stocktake can hardly be accurate due to unrestrictable human behaviour. A 2D unique code (QR code) stocktake is accurate but takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. An RFID stocktake is taking the best of both worlds by having an accurate stocktake while keeping the effort very low.

With our RFID warehouse solution, the stocktake as well as all the other warehouse operations are being made so easy.

2 Implementation of RFID in Warehouse Management System

A good solution is not just about a great technology or sophisticated system to be offered to the customer; it’s highly dependent on the skill and experience of the team who carries out the implementation services.

Our team comprises talents from various skill sets to ensure all the success criteria for an RFID warehouse implementation are well taken care of.

Inventory Tracking

Inventory Tracking

RAIN RFID simplifies the tracking of inventory by leveraging the Ultra-High Frequency electromagnetic wave technology, whereby the speed and distance of scanning are the best among all the non-battery-powered Auto-ID technologies.

As such, the movement of inventories e.g.: inbound, outbound, and transfer of inventories within the supply chain are being automatically recognised, verified and authorised.

Safeguarding of Goods

Safeguarding of Goods

RFID very much helps the safeguarding of goods with its long-range and penetrative scanning capability. The electromagnetic wave of RFID is able to cut through most materials to detect the RFID tags within.

Oftentimes, RFID is being used as an anti-theft to prevent the unauthorised movement of goods.

Picking and Packing

Picking and Packing

The validation of picked or packed items is made extremely easy with RFID gantry or merely using the RFID handheld scanner.

With the penetrative, long range and fast scanning capabilities of RFID, any shortage or excess of the picked or packed inventories can be easily detected in a few seconds, without the need to manoeuvre the items piece by piece.

Receiving and Stowing

Receiving and Stowing

The latest trend of having the inventory tagged with RFID from the supplier has very much disrupted conventional supply chain management. Goods from the supplier are being pulled into the warehouse without the use of a pen or keyboard, and yet the transaction is being captured effortlessly in real-time.

The smart RFID forklift or reach-truck terminal automatically suggests and updates the placement location of goods, to reflect a highly reliable storage location of inventories.

The Passive RFID RTLS or Real Time Location System is another cutting-edge RFID technology that facilitates a granular tracking of goods movement in 3-axis positioning.

Movement of Goods

Movement of Goods

Movement of goods, or goods transfer, is one of the main warehouse operations that all warehouse operators have to deal with on a daily basis. The conventional way of managing goods transfer often requires the user to update the transaction in the system manually, which may further lead to missing updates, wrong updates, or delayed updates.

With the benefits of long-range scanning, RFID provides the option for users to utilize this characteristic to achieve automation for the movement of goods. Implementation of RFID gantry at every transaction point helps to automate the tracking and update of the physical goods into the system by real time.

3 Benefits of RFID Technology in Warehouse Management System

Warehouse personnel have a firsthand understanding of the difficulties involved in tracking inventory. Manual processes are time-consuming and error-prone, and it can be difficult to get an accurate picture of your inventory levels in real time.

The introduction of RFID into warehouse management systems represents a transformational technology giving organizations the ability to manage their assets efficiently and accurately at any given moment.

Improve Inventory Visibility

The activities and movement of the inventories and the people are being tracked at all time with RFID, and the system algorithm quantifies, analyses and structurize the data and converts it into useful business information.

Reduce Overstocking and Understocking

Reduce Overstocking and Understocking

RFID Systems provide real-time tracking and updating of the stock balance across the inventory storage locations and premises.

Replenishment reminder is being prompted automatically whenever there is a shortage of stock, and the transfer of inventory between the premises is being optimised to avoid overstocking and understocking situations.

The RFID system greatly improves productivity by automating and simplifying daily workflow. With this system, the movement of inventories and people can be tracked in real-time.

The data collected is then analysed, quantified, and structured by system algorithms to form useful business information which can be used to make informed decisions.
