MedicAir

Customer Overview

MedicAirMedicAir Group, for more than 40 years, has been the benchmark in the design and delivery of health care services and the development of gas-related technologies for the treatment and improvement of quality of life. 


MedicAir, with our 28 operating units, is active in the medical, food and industrial sectors, sectors that are apparently very distant from each other but which share a common objective: to guarantee the health of the assisted.


Every day with its medical divisions it offers diagnostic and care services: providing life-saving therapies such as oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, artificial nutrition and telemonitoring of vital parameters, as well as manufacturing and distributing anti-decubitus systems.


It also provides palliative care and an Integrated Home Assistance (ADI) service.


With its food division, on the other hand, it processes Foods for Special Medical Purposes to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from dysphagia and associated diseases.


Finally, for more than 70 years, we have been operating in the industrial gases and food gases sector and supply all the technologies necessary for their use.

Project Overview

MedicAir  has chosen to install RFID solutions from InfinityID to manage without risk of error or loss the traceability of all its medical devices, especially liquid and gaseous oxygen cylinders


By replacing normal barcode labels with smart RFID tags placed directly on the cylinders, it is now able to automatically identify goods entering and leaving its warehouses and storage facilities.

This innovative system provides a real-time view of the status of products, always being certain of how many cylinders are in the warehouse and how many are at the customer’s premises.


Thanks to the hand-held RFID readers supplied to the operators, goods are managed in a massive way, accurately identifying thousands of articles entering and leaving the depots and warehouses, thus avoiding the possibility of losing products.


The MedicAir operator only has to ensure that the process is started. Everything else is taken care of by LOGiC, the InfinityID software, which shows in real time what is on the incoming and outgoing load, communicating the data to the management system.


Having ascertained that everything corresponds to the order, the shipment can be approved, safe in the knowledge that there will be no errors.

Benefits:

Timely control of the location of one’s own cylinders

Drastic reduction of human error

Saving of time during goods control

Automation of goods handling procedures

Automatic and reliable data source for data analysis

Metal Work

Customer Overview

Metal Work is a company specialising in the production of pneumatic components for industrial automation with more than 50 years of experience and based in Brescia. Today, the company is one of the most significant in the sector, with a catalogue of over 1700 pages. More than 500 employees currently work in the Concesio (BS) factory, while the Italian and foreign sales structure consists of more than 800 people.

Product distribution and service are entrusted to 50 branches in Italy and abroad that are in direct daily contact with the market and offer extensive pre- and after-sales service. Product quality and sales organisation are the foundations on which Metal Work rests firmly.

With its commercial structure fragmented into multiple sales outlets, logistics is one of the cornerstones of distribution. The management of receiving and shipping movements is optimised thanks to RFID technology. The classic hanging tag with barcode has been replaced by a 4.0 version containing an RFID tag, which enables massive and punctual readings without the need for item-by-item control.

RFID printers were installed to encode RFID labels and print production data. The packing stations have been equipped with RFID desks and RFID label readers have been installed that can detect all items already placed in boxes on pallets in seconds.

Logistics management is efficient and the solution is integrated with the ERP.

Project Overview

Metal Work chose to install an InfinityID solution in order to have more control over shipments and zero errors at the outbound end. By replacing normal barcode labels with RFID tags, it was able to identify packages automatically and verify that outgoing pallets were prepared correctly, avoiding time-consuming manual quality checks.
The loading bays of Metal Work’s warehouses have been equipped with special RFID portals to read the outgoing goods, allowing the batch to be weighed and its conformity checked.

The operator only has to ensure that the process is started via the terminal. Everything else is taken care of by Logic, the InfinityID software, which shows the count in real time and signals the need for the operator to check for inconsistencies.
Once it has been ascertained that everything corresponds to the order, the portal is opened and the shipment can be completed, safe in the knowledge that there will be no errors.
This system was implemented in the company in just one month and has enabled Metal Work to save time on quality control and to reduce complaints about nonconforming goods to zero.

Benefits:

Drastica riduzione dell’errore umano

Risparmio tempo durante il controllo qualità merce

Automazione procedure di evasione merce

Riduzione a zero dei reclami per merce non conforme.

Traconf

Customer Overview

In the new distribution center of Traconf built for Armani in Verona has been implemented a system branded InfinityID that allows you to reduce the time of search for an item in a warehouse of over 25,000 square meters.

After an in-depth analysis of the business processes of the customer’s reality, it emerged that, due to a very high turnover of garments and the continuous requests from marketplaces and retail, it is increasingly difficult to keep up to date the information on the management. Consequently, the actual location of the items in stock is not always precise.

Project Overview

Hence the need to have a tool to quickly identify the position on the ground or at home of every single item in stock, without risk of errors.

Thanks to RFID technology and the implementation of the InfinityID Item Locator solution, when the product code is inserted on the portable device, the operator is guided with a beep to the requested item, without risk of finding the wrong product.

Benefits:

Speed in finding the article

Improved performance of operators
