Case example

Drive forklift picking efficiency
with RFID labels

Warehouses and logistics companies can considerably increase forklift picking efficiency with RFID labels.

Challenge

Increase forklift picking efficiency

Internal logistics control is still often based on pen and paper and print-outs from WMS and ERP. These time-consuming
procedures cost a lot of money, have numerous disadvantages and entail inefficient operations, such as the incorrect placing of
products and random driving around of forklifts. So how to get rid of these, while staying in control of ongoing operations?

Solution

Custom RFID labels and integrated forklift scanners

RFID can help locate forklifts quickly. Location detection can take place in real time and continuously, or at crucial places such
as zone changes, or when items are scanned, picked up and dropped off. The data generated enable pick-up and drop-off
location control, efficient route calculation and route registration.

On top of that, forklifts can also be equipped with detection
equipment to read RFID packaging labels on your
warehouse pallets, boxes or containers. Brady can supply
its L-2588-26B UHF packaging RFID label with a modifiable
read range up to 10 metres. They can be programmed
on-site with an RFID print-and-program printer, which also
enables adding a barcode or serial number on the label.
Fixed RFID scanners can be set up to detect the entire
inventory, and these data can be sent automatically to an
asset management software linked to the company’s ERP­system. This equipment enables automatic scanning and
registration of the articles or load carriers carried along such
as pallets, boxes and containers. Manual scans, and the
resulting frequent forklift stops, are avoided, and drivers can
fully focus on driving.

RFID forklift track & trace solutions enable an accurate and
up-to-date overview of internal logistic movements through
automatic location and load control. Through registration of
routes, you are able to organise your rides as efficiently as
possible.

Results

Smart forklifts

Smart forklifts support flawless and efficient order picking and considerably reduce the number of inventories. The technologies
used are RFID location detection, automatic load control, wireless communication and control of the drivers through a panel PC
with touch screen. These technologies can considerably increase the efficiency and effectiveness of any large warehouse with
forklifts.
