RFID systems enable item level serialization and tracking automation in logistics and intra-logistics ifm offers distinct HF and UHF systems that are optimized for speciific applicaiton solutions. Variants include IO-Link enabled readers, all-in-one platforms with contrroller and antenna in a single housing, and modular platforms for customization of antenna geometry. |

Granular traceability enhances process transparency
Tracking and traceability helps create the connected factory by enabling transparency into production processes and supply chains. MES, WMS and ERP systems can provide a digital twin of the production processes and warehousing operations in real time. This allows for accurate reporting and optimization of manufacturing and logistics operations.
Granular traceability is achieved by serializing each product made and archiving records of where, when and how products are made, sub-assemblies from which they are derived or raw materials from which they are made. This level of traceability creates quality assurance for manufacturers, resellers and consumers. Identification technologies such as RFID and 1D/2D codes are used to track production and ensure products are made to specifications, thus improving availability, performance and quality (all components of Overall Equipment Effectiveness -- OEE) at the plant floor.
