Case Study - Docks operations in near future
Using RFID to Manage Your Dock in Real Time
From companies shipping equipment to trade shows to high velocity distribution and transportation facilities, paychecks are earned on the efficiency of the dock. Managers understand that more efficiencies and higher throughput are gained when they have a holistic view of their dock operation to better schedule and manage inbound and outbound appointments.
Not having real-time visibility of your assets affects availability and dock utilization. Your on-time load completion suffers, which results in serious delays for priority or high-velocity freight. And without visibility you can't cut warehouse costs, maintain product flow through your facility and meet customer service levels. With better visibility managers can schedule resources more efficiently, which will dramatically impact the bottom line.
A Dynamically Optimized Dock
Fluensee Dock decreases time spent at the dock and dynamic optimization allows your facility to prioritize and process the right freight first. Fluensee Dock combines integrated workflow, RFID and other automatic identification technologies to transform any cross dock facility into a streamlined operation.
With a robust combination of software and RFID hardware, you'll know the status of every trailer and container whether they're inbound or outbound. You'll have accurate data about orders, requirements, load status, inventory and schedules. And you will have a way to manage fast-paced change on your docks with precise, real-time visibility of your operations.
Dock Operations in Real-Time
RFID technology has matured over the last several years to provide a platform to enable a new generation of technology solutions that target high-velocity, real-world supply chain challenges. Whether you are looking to enhance your current RFID initiatives, find a lower cost / greater value RFID solution or have a need to address customer or government mandates, Fluensee Dock provides tools that help you better manage your dock. It helps eliminate manual processes, automate operations and provide visibility of events – these combined actions help save on labor costs and give you more control over your cross dock operation.
Companies that continuously monitor and proactively resolve supply chain execution events have a distinct advantage over competitors. The ability to increase data accuracy while automating operations gains importance each year and helps companies achieve new heights in cross docking.
