In today's world, “things” move faster and faster. To ensure that shipments arrive in time at the right destination, it is essential to manage these shipments in the most efficient way as they move through distribution centers, hubs and ports. Manually tracking inbound and outbound shipments can no longer keep up with the speed of business. By automating the tracking of shipments as they pass through dock doors, real-time visibility into supply chain and logistics operations can be realized. In the automotive and manufacturing industries, operational efficiency can be increased by automating the tracking of parts and goods as they move between plants or manufacturing partners.

RAIN RFID enables organizations to automatically identify and verify shipments as they move through logistics processes. By capturing shipment data without line-of-sight scanning, companies gain real-time visibility into the movement of pallets, containers and goods throughout their operations.

Typical shipment verification applications

RAIN RFID is used across a wide range of shipment verification applications, including:

• Distribution centres: Automatically verify inbound and outbound shipments as they pass through dock doors.
• Warehouse shipping and receiving: Confirm that the correct goods are received or dispatched to improve inventory accuracy and reduce shipping errors.
• Manufacturing logistics: Track parts, pallets and finished goods moving between production facilities or manufacturing partners.
• Cross-docking operations: Identify shipments as they move through cross-docking facilities to improve visibility and support efficient handling.
• Ports and logistics hubs: Monitor the movement of containers and freight as they enter and leave logistics facilities.
