Background
Yihai Kerry Group is a diversified enterprise group that specializes in grain and oil processing, oil technology, warehousing and logistics, and domestic and foreign trade. It entered the edible oil and feed market in Vietnam in 2016 and became the largest edible oil producer in Vietnam. Yihai Kerry in Vietnam decided to use RFID technology to realize intelligent warehouse management, improve working efficiency and streamline the operational process.
Challenges
1. The large-scale warehousing can store a large number of products in rich variety, which will bring large workload, require more working time and labor costs.
2. Manual operation method features low efficiency, and higher error rate, often resulting in inconsistency of storage and physical accounts.
3. The managers cannot know the stock level of the warehouse in time, thus , they can not adjust the inventory configuration timely and make the warehouse distribution plan.
4. The data statistics of inventory consumption is cumbersome and cannot be accurately updated in real time, which may lead to overstock or shortage of commodities.
5. When searching for goods, workers need to manually identify one by one. Due to the large number of goods in the warehouse, it often takes a long time to find the right one.
Solution
Based on the application of RFID technology and the actual application needs of users, Chainway configured R2 Bluetooth UHF reader. Each item affixed with a RFID tag in the warehouse has unique electronic identity information. Workers only scan the goods with R2 to quickly complete the cycle-counting of the goods with high accuracy and efficiency, which saves their time. And the data can be transmitted to the database system in real time via Bluetooth, thus, managers can check the real-time data to carry out the optimized marketing plan.
Effects
1. The application of R2 enables the intelligent operations such as stock-taking, sorting, input and output of warehouses, which saves time and effort, delivers high efficiency and precision.
2. The information is automatically recorded and transmitted to the database system via the network without manual recording, which realizes the paperless office.
3. It improves the efficiency of goods during input and output of the warehouse, avoids manual operation errors, and effectively ensures the adequate supply of various commodities.
4. The manager can obtain the inventory information in real time, so as to perform accurate and efficient warehousing management.
5. The improved efficiency of warehousing operation promotes the improvement of the entire sales service, and brings higher consumer satisfaction.
6. R2 can also be used for the rapid bulk identification of a large number of commodities in the warehouse. Workers can accurately find the target goods in a short time, which greatly reduces the waiting time of customers.
