To solve the production department process issues, we have evaluated and architect a intelligent Package and Stock Tracking system by using the barcode and RFID technology. Printing of Barcode labels for product information was already in practice, printing serial numbers (16 digits number) includes package number, batch number and product serial number.

This cost effective Barcode Tracking application was successfully deployed, after which the efficiency and accuracy is 100% now. But the question comes.......why do we need to go RFID? when Barcode itself gives 100% efficiency and it solves production process issues. Well the answer is simple, The difference is MANPOWER. For barcode it is essential to involve manpower to scan the products, because the products are small in size, in case of packages which are normally big can be scanned by fixing barcode readers permanently on the conveyer, whereas the RFID antennas can achieve the same efficiency for products and packages, without the involvement of Manpower.

Additionally the advantage of RFID is that, the RFID readers can scan the products count, serial numbers which are inside the Package, counts those boxes either at the dispatch area or the delivery point at client warehouse. RFID application is deployed in Incoming and Delivery where package of raw materials and finished goods are Actively tracked using Passive RFID tags. At end of the day tally of Stock become very efficient with effective Stock IN and Stock Out of RFID tracking in place. [More]

How EAS works?

Any Item placed inside the store is placed with a RFID tag, the TAG has minute conductivity which you can call as a fuse. When a customer buys a product, he moves to the counter and pays the money.
the counter staff, will swipe the CD on the small reader placed on the sale counter, which would blow the fuse and break the antenna circuit which is inside the tag. If the user not paid, staff not swiped, or it is a case of theft, the antenna's placed on the entry exit points would sound a panic alarm.

Interestingly, we got many theft cases within 3 days of Antenna activation, most caught were seems to be dressed very decent, they were not aware of that technology is in place, so Times Group virtually created a psychology to control article theft. It was a grand success, all through the run. [More]
