RFID - Picking Process

temp

Objectives
RFID-based completeness check of shipments
RFID initiated accounting and label issue for new shipments

The Challenge
Improvement of the performance of the semi automated picking process
Optimization of the detection rate in spite of various base materials of the items / consignments
Reduction of error frequency due to automated control processes
There is a huge amount of different identification points; So called “unwanted reads” have to be avoided. This means that no other than the consignments currently being processed shall be identified at this point. Capturing of other consignments – e.g. of adjacent identification points – has to be avoided by all means
Solution Approach
Integration of the RFID technology into the conveyor belt
Construction of a tunnel reader based on UHF technology
Reader synchronization and reader service functions allow the clear identification of consignments
“Unwanted reads“ are eliminated by special software functions
Triggering of label and standard printers
Data input from weighing machine which is integrated into the conveyor belt
