Pooling

RFID in the pooling sector: unburden the logistics service provider thanks to pool management throughout the chain.

Efficiency and reliability throughout the chain

The logistics service provider of reusable packaging serves the entire chain, from manufacturer to retailer. ‘Pooling’ includes lending, delivery, recuperation, washing, repair and continuous reuse of standardised load carriers such as pallets, roll containers and crates/boxes.

Efficient organisation of pooling is a must to guarantee optimal reliability throughout the chain: that is why a comprehensive system for the registration of asset flows is required.

Our solution: RTI tracking with RFID

Aucxis developed an automation solution to optimise the turnaround time in the warehouse. This solution includes (specific) hardware, middleware and software and consists of different modules which can be purchased separately according to the customer’s needs.

Each asset is equipped with an RFID tag and/or barcode. This one is registered in the warehouse through different reading devices: RFID gates, vision portals and handhelds and quality stations which validate the barcode and RFID functioning.

Yard Management

All processes on site (outside the building) relating to truck management: registration upon arrival, assignment of dock or waiting area, unload detection, registration of departure, etc.

Inbound Management

All processes occurring from the unloading of the trucks to the storage or outbound process.

Unloading: employees are automatically directed to perform actions at the dock and to deliver assets to a drop-off location.
Counting & Identification: all load carriers which arrive, are equipped with a label which identifies the shop and the contents of the load carrier. They are scanned and the contents of the load carrier are automatically counted through RFID gates.

Outbound Management

All processes occurring from the moment that the goods are ready for shipment.
