Using sensors built into the walls and ceiling the RFID system keeps track of all the warehouse’s inventory through storage, and delivery to the customer. It confirms that the part has been assembled, and tracks its shipping status, sending an advanced shipping notification so that the customer knows it is on route.
Using the RFID technology TNT hopes to operate a ‘just in time’ system, benefiting from a reduced risk of parts shortages at the assembly line and an increased storage capacity through improved space utilization.
