Project overview
Bignami has chosen to implement an advanced InfinityIDsolution to optimize shipping control and minimize warehouse management errors. By adopting RFID tags instead of traditional barcodes, the company can automatically identify packages and verify the correct preparation of outbound pallets. This system eliminates the need for time-consuming manual quality checks.
To further enhance efficiency, Bignami’s warehouses have been equipped with innovative RFID Portals and RFID Tunnels dedicated to scanning outbound products. These devices automatically verify shipment compliance. The operator simply starts the process via a terminal, while InfinityID’s software monitors the count in real-time and alerts the operator to any anomalies requiring intervention.
Once the shipment is confirmed to match the order, the portal opens, allowing the process to be completed with total accuracy. Furthermore, Bignami required precise control over product locations within the warehouse. Thanks to the integration between InfinityID’s software platform and the client’s ERP system, this process has been fully automated.
The InfinityID platform provides the real-time, precise location of every item using dedicated RFID tags applied to products and RFID readers distributed throughout the facilities. InfinityID’s software platform efficiently manages item identification and serialization, automatically communicating product locations to the client’s ERP. Simultaneously, the ERP system feeds InfinityID’s software essential data, such as master item records (with associated barcodes) and supplier purchase orders for warehouse reconciliation.
Before InfinityID’s intervention, the management of cases containing precision and maintenance tools presented operational issues that affected intervention times.
