Radio Frequency Warehouse

Paper handling is a major contributor to warehouse inefficiency, lost productivity, and errors. More often then not, papers are either misplaced, filed in the wrong place, or cause data to be entered incorrectly into your system. Warehouse workers often spend valuable time looking for, waiting on, or delivering those same papers which in turn wastes not only their time but your money! With Radio Frequency technology you can turn your warehouse into a fully automated paperless operation and eliminate the need for employees to manually enter catch weights into the Food Connex system.

Full Purchase Order integration for receiving using bar codes with Purchase Order Verification

Physical stock counting using RF gun for fast, accurate physical counting

Paperless picking and shipping using the RF gun guides pickers through the warehouse

Product Recall Report available for properly bar coded items (Required by the Bio Terrorism Act and USDA Recall)

The wireless system is very transportable and can easily accommodate changes in product volume

Radio Frequency systems are more cost effective than "Pick to Light" systems and "Voice Picking" technologies

RF picking makes it quicker and more efficient for the picker to:

• Record catch weights
• Stop overships
• Stop underships

The chart above shows a clear breakdown of the causes of common order picking errors within a paper based warehouse. A Radio Frequency system is most useful because it:

• Uses RF to eliminate paper
• Uses bar codes to minimize or eliminate key data entry
• Lets the system make decisions instead of the employee
• Can automatically record variable weights and serial numbers of cases for product recall if the proper bar code is used
