Utilizing RFID technology can help streamline this process and assist hospitals in reducing stolen equipment and increasing patient safety while keeping costs down without additional staff.
- Retail: The use of RFID technology in retail environments helps ensure the shelves are always stocked. RFID inventory checks are automatic, so they are real-time and more efficient than manual inventory checks. Managers can always know what they have in stock and when they need to make additional orders.
- Manufacturing: RFID technology can be used in manufacturing to track goods from the moment they enter the operation through, assembly and shipment. This assists managers in monitoring the speed and accuracy of the production line, inventory levels and quality assurance.
- Distribution Centers and Warehouses: It is important for distribution centers and warehouses to be fast and accurate when shipping and receiving products. Using RFID technology helps to cut time and errors. It also provides up-to-date information on what products are where, without actually having to open every box, so workers can focus on processing additional orders.
- Transportation: Baggage handling is a perfect opportunity for the transportation industry to utilize RFID technology to help reduce labor costs while also increasing efficiency of baggage sorting. Using RFID to help track luggage ensures bags are in the right place at the right time ultimately resulting in cost savings and happy customers.
