LXE RFID Products
Radio Frequency Identification
Need an RFID solution capable of generating benefits "beyond
compliance"?
Are you wondering how you'll get a positive return form your
expensive RFID compliance investment? Or, are you simply wondering
how you will comply? Either way - LXE can help.
Compliance alone can be achieved by simply slapping an RFID tag
on a pallet as it's heading out the door. Is this enough for your
organization? Or, do you want to drive incremental return from your
RFID investment- beyond just maintaining the business you already
have today?
There is more to RFID than compliance- and it doesn't necessarily
involve inventory accuracy. Well-tuned operations are already
achieving 99% + inventory accuracy levels without RFID. Therefore,
you must look beyond accuracy levels to find the benefits of RFID in
the supply-chain. With a typical DC's labor cost accounting for 70%
of the operation's total cost and a whopping 40-50% of labor
activities dedicated to picking, it is here where significant
efficiencies can be achieved.
While the distribution center depicted above is hypothetical, the
advantages noted are real and available to enterprises wishing to
expand their RFID applications "beyond compliance". One study by
IBMs Business Consulting Services estimates RFID, at the case level,
will drive:
- 10% reduction in labor costs
- 2-3% reduction in claims & returns
- 20% reduction in inventory carry costs
- 10% reduction in theft
- Reductions in transportation associated with lower inventory
