Sandvik needs to know in real time which goods are in stock and which are delayed. Prior to the installation of RFID solutions, shipment status was in many cases passively collected and was often not known until the delivery of the goods was delayed. In addition, the slow manual warehousing process can also lead to errors, creating further challenges for cargo tracking.

Real-time warehouse visibility by integrating RFID technology directly into ERP

Turck’s RFID solution is integrated into Sandvik’s ERP system V10. For each purchase order received by the supplier, the system creates an RFID shipping tag directly, which is printed via an RFID printer at the supplier’s factory and pasted before shipping. In this way, every shipment is automatically recorded after it enters the Sandvik factory. When pallets and other containers pass through the RFID security door, the security door reads their RFID tag information, which is then automatically sent to the ERP system via Vilant’s RFID server software. Orders can be completed 100% accurately in real time. Because manual input and bar code scanning operations are eliminated, there are fewer production interruptions, and instantly accurate stock levels allow for reduced stock caches.
