Understanding RFID

Skillweb's years of practical experience in helping customers to interpret the mine field of RFID places us in an ideal position to help you assess where RFID can benefit your business.

Historically, the unit cost and sometimes even the size of each RFID tag has limited the viable applications for this type of solution - with exciting developments in nano-technology this potential obstacle is removed.

With proven solutions in the field of tracking assets in retail distribution, we have experience of finding the right technology fit to achieve a rapid return on your investment. To find out more:

This technology has been integrated into the  Houndit solutions suite and increases its ability to locate a stillage, cage or tote to within 6 inches in your warehouse. This is ideally suited to fast moving cross-dock operations, where traditional warehousing is not viable or where storage space is tight, requiring dynamic location of items to allow flexible storage.

Unlike RFID systems, where reader coverage is short range and inaccurate, the Ubisense system can cover an area of 100x100 meters with 4 sensors. This means that items be located instantly while also eliminating the requirement for specifically dedicated racking space. This makes optimum use of available storage space and eliminates unproductive ideal shelving.

In our experience, installing traditional RFID systems causes warehouse disruption which cannot easily be overcome. The Skillweb/Ubisense solution operates cable-free, disruption free.

Skillweb’s knowledge of the Ubisense location platform enables us to help you evaluate and integrate the technology into your business, either as part of a full Skillweb solution or as a stand alone project.
