Factory and Manufacturing Benefits+
The r-trac Retail Services Factory and Manufacturing solution provides highly accurate inventory/cycle counting, real-time location tracking and new visibility into business processes.
Tagging can be done to track raw material, WIP and finished product. The data attained from tracking at different points can be useful to understand production rates, yield, productivity, etc.
Further, RRS has modules to provide manufacturers with cost effective ways to RFID tag product leaving their facilities – as mandated by many customers. Once tagged, RRS can ensure perfectly packed cartons and shipments. Shipments can be scanned to assure all outbound shipments are accurate, and electronic manifests can be obtained and shared with the receiving parties via EPCIS.
