The Challenge
Inventory Shrinkage and Asset Mismanagement with Containers Cause Staggering Losses Every Year
Returnable transfer items (RTIs) include shipping containers, packaging, pallets, kegs, and boxes. Shrinkage due to theft, unreported damage, or unreturned containers is estimated to be anywhere from 3% to 9% annually. The impact container shrinkage mismanagement has on your overall supply chain profitability should not be overlooked.
The Solution
Recover Billions of Dollars in Misplaced Containers with RFID
Container tracking with RFID is quickly becoming the worldwide standard. RFID allows every asset’s real-time location to be tracked, along with a detailed evidence trail. Simply put, well-managed containers lead to better business overall. Here is what an integrated container RFID system is capable of:
- Improved Labor Utilization
Fixed readers installed at a loading dock, mobile RFID readers on forklifts, and adaptable conveyor tunnel RFID systems are just a few ways you save hours of labor without relying on handheld scanners. - Massive Amounts of Data, Durable RFID Tags
Container ID, size, location, weight, item quantity, and other properties can be stored in each RFID tag, syncing automatically to your RFID management software. Custom RFID tags attach to returnable cargo containers with ease, resisting harsh elements and machine washing with ease. - Improved Container Return Rates
The key advantage of RFID-based container monitoring systems is an improvement in container return rates. New containers are purchased in smaller batches and less frequently.
