real-time visibility in returnable container logistics

RFID Returnable Container Management Solution   As an industry-leading RFID solution provider, our team specializes in developing customized RFID management solutions for various sectors, empowering enterprises, warehouses, and factories to achieve significant improvements in operational efficiency. In this instance, we designed a tailored RFID automated inbound and outbound management solution for returnable containers at a fresh food company's warehouse in Chengdu. This initiative optimized the flow of containers within the fresh food supply chain, driving the industry's transition from traditional manual management to an intelligent operational model.   Project Background   Project Name: RFID Returnable Container ManagementProject Category: Fresh Food DistributionProject Location: Chengdu, Sichuan Province   Industry Pain Points   01 High Rates of Loss and Damage During transportation, loading/unloading, and storage, improper handling frequently leads to container loss or damage. 02 Difficulty in Tracking Containers The large quantity and high circulation frequency of containers make it challenging to monitor their locations, identify stranded units, or pinpoint damage sources. 03 Inaccurate Inventory Management Reliance on manual processes combined with high inbound/outbound frequency results in frequent data errors and unreliable stock counts. 04 Increased Costs Poor container management leads to higher loss and damage rates, generating additional replacement expenses and impacting profitability. 05 Challenges in Reuse and Recycling An inefficient container return system disrupts the timely flow of containers back into the supply chain, reducing turnover efficiency. 06 Multi-Party Coordination Complexities Differing requirements from suppliers, warehouses, transporters, and retailers complicate the management of shared container pools. Customer Requirements 01 Use handheld devices to scan driver IDs, associating returnable containers with specific drivers during loading.02 Install sensing RFID antennas at the entrance of container washing machines to automate inbound registration.03 Enable contactless RFID identification with a minimum effective read range of 3 meters.04 Utilize tags resistant to freezing, low temperatures, and waterproof conditions.05 Implement cloud services with full Wi-Fi coverage in operational environments.   Solution Identity Empowerment RFID card-style electronic tags enable precise one-to-one correspondence management with returnable containers, while QR codes are used to associate driver identities, achieving seamless tracking and management of the containers. RFID Intelligent Management System Through the collection of data from RFID card tags, the system visualizes all processes involving the returnable containers, including inbound/outbound operations, inventory levels, and stocktaking data. RFID Intelligent Inbound/Outbound Management UHF RFID integrated readers are installed at warehouse entry/exit points to achieve fully automated inbound and outbound processes. RFID Intelligent Batch Inventory Staff can use RFID handheld devices to read RFID card-style tags, enabling highly efficient batch inventory counts.   Solution Deployment   01 Remote Assistance and Installation Based on the layout and sensing range requirements of the customer's production warehouse, the technical team conducted one-on-one remote deployment reviews. They provided online guidance for the installation of each device, ensuring seamless on-site hardware setup and system debugging.   02 Operational Demonstration and Explanation Through one-on-one online sessions, detailed guidance was provided on the usage procedures of both the system and hardware. Operational demonstration video packages were also supplied to ensure relevant personnel can quickly understand and master the operation of the RFID software and hardware. 03 One-on-One Technical Guidance Tailored one-on-one training and technical support were provided to the customer and their warehouse staff, ensuring rapid proficiency in operating both the system and hardware.     04 Establishment of Online Service System Following platform deployment and training, a year-round 7*12 online after-sales service system was established to provide continuous technical support and issue resolution.   Project Benefits   01 Comprehensive improvement in returnable container management efficiency 02 Annual cost savings of over ten thousand yuan for the enterprise 03 130% increase in inbound/outbound efficiency 04 Inventory accuracy rate for returnable containers raised to 99% 05 80% improvement in returnable container management efficiency   The RFID returnable container automated inbound/outbound solution enables automated data collection, providing real-time visibility into container inventory status and significantly enhancing management efficiency.   The entire circulation process is traceable. By binding driver identities, responsibility for each part is clarified, establishing a transparent and controllable returnable container circulation system     RFID Returnable Container Automated In/Outbound Solutionhelps enterprises achieve automated, visualized, and traceable management of returnable containers, effectively reducing costs and improving efficiency to build digital competitiveness.
