1. Improved Visibility
Real-time Inventory Tracking
RAIN UHF RFID tags can be read from several meters away and in bulk, allowing for continuous, automatic tracking of items across facilities.
Enables real-time updates of inventory locations, reducing blind spots and improving transparency throughout the supply chain.
Enhanced Traceability
Tracks each item’s journey from supplier to warehouse to customer, ensuring chain-of-custody integrity.
Provides detailed event history of goods, useful for compliance, recall management, and audits.
2. Increased Speed
Fast Inbound/Outbound Processing
RAIN UHF RFID readers at dock doors, conveyor belts, and gates automatically scan tagged items as they move through, reducing manual scanning or barcode line-of-sight dependencies.
Dramatically speeds up goods receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping.
Bulk Reading Capability
Can read hundreds of tags per second, unlike barcodes that require individual scanning.
Greatly reduces delays during order fulfillment and cross-docking.
3. Higher Accuracy
Elimination of Human Error
Removes reliance on manual entry or barcode scanning, leading to 99%+ inventory accuracy.
Reduces shipment errors, such as wrong items sent or received.
Automated Data Capture
Accurate data capture at each step ensures that inventory records match physical stock, enabling better forecasting and planning.
4. Streamlined End-to-End Operations
Integrated Supply Chain Visibility
When integrated with WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) or ERP platforms, RAIN RFID provides a single source of truth from suppliers to end customers.
Facilitates real-time decision-making in response to demand or disruption.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency
Improves warehouse throughput and reduces labor costs by automating routine tasks.
Optimizes shipping and receiving schedules, dock door assignments, and truck turnaround time.
5. Solving Supply Chain Accuracy Challenges
Addressing Issues Like:
Misplaced or lost inventory
Incorrect shipments
Inaccurate stock counts
Manual data entry errors
RFID-Based Solutions:
Automated cycle counts and alerts for stock discrepancies.
Advanced shipping notices (ASNs) verified by RFID, confirming contents match orders.
Real-time alerts for items scanned in wrong locations or at wrong times.
Application & Use Case Example: End-to-End Distribution Flow with RAIN RFID
Inbound Receiving: RFID portal scans pallets at dock doors → real-time inventory updates.
Storage & Picking: Items tracked in warehouse via ceiling-mounted readers or handhelds.
Order Fulfillment: Items picked and verified via RFID → errors detected before shipping.
Outbound Shipping: Pallets auto-scanned on exit → ASN matched → confirmation to ERP.
Customer Delivery: End client can trace items back to origin with item-level RFID data.
