Major Improvments
- RFID-Embedded Bin Redesign
Developed in-house a series of durable, collapsible bins with embedded RFID tags for automatic tracking. - Digital Bin Lifecycle Management
Enabled real-time tracking of bin status: inbound, in-process, outbound, idle, or maintenance. - Automated Location Scanning
Integrated with warehouse and production floor gates to auto-scan bin identity without manual barcode intervention. - Error-Proofing Through Material Verification
Linked RFID IDs to production orders and BOMs, preventing part mismatches during line feeding.
Application Scope
- Inbound Material Control
Reduced receiving and sorting times by 30% through automated bin identification and classification. - Line-Side Feeding & Replenishment
Streamlined replenishment by tracking each bin’s location and usage in real time. - Inter-Process Logistics Transparency
Improved WIP traceability between machining, sub-assembly, and final stations. - Inventory & Loss Prevention
Minimized missing bin incidents and ensured inventory accuracy through daily bin movement logs.
