What requirements do you have for the RFID solution?
  • To narrow down hardware and software options, it is important to clarify which objects are to be tracked.
  • Define your requirements to avoid incurring additional costs for features that will not be used.
  • Define the goals, benefits and functions of the project to implement a system that is well tailored to your organization's needs.
2
Creation of a project plan
  • When working with an RFID integrator, conduct site surveys to determine your business processes.
  • Where should RFID solutions be used to make daily operations more efficient?
  • Clarify project management, budgeting and acceptance criteria.
  • Consider a step-by-step introduction. This makes it possible to eliminate technical difficulties and other complications before the rollout.

Optimum positioning of RFID gates
  • Site analysis: Conduct a thorough analysis of your operating environment to identify the optimal locations for your RFID gates. Consider factors such as traffic patterns, access points and obstructions.
  • Optimal alignment: Ensure that your RFID gates are correctly aligned to allow the RFID tags to pass through smoothly. Avoid obstacles and interference that could impair signal transmission.
  • Height and position: Place the RFID antennas at a height and position that ensures easy detection of the tags. Make sure that the reading range of the gates meets your requirements.

Selection of suitable RFID tags
  • Compatibility: Select RFID tags that are compatible with your RFID doors and can store the required information. Consider the frequency and protocol of the RFID gates for optimal performance.
  • Robustness and durability: Choose RFID tags that can withstand the environmental conditions in which they are to be used. Consider factors such as temperature, humidity, water pressure and physical stress (chemicals, ...).
  • Readability and range: Test different RFID tags to ensure that they can be read reliably and provide the required range for your application.
  • Costs: Marking the objects to be identified with transponders can quickly become a significant cost driver in the project. The type of identification (recurring, permanent, temporary) should be clarified at an early stage and the costs determined.
  • Backup process: In addition to RFID technology, additional coding such as optically readable barcodes or QR codes are often used. If the RFID chip is no longer readable, the object transponder can be replaced by manually scanning the code and attaching a new RFID tag.

Use of RFID software to manage and analyze data
  • The use of RFID middleware makes it possible to collect, filter, store and process data from RFID tags and readers.
  • This allows you to manage stock levels, locations and movements and generate reports and insights to optimize your performance.
6
Integration into existing systems
  • Integrate your RFID system with ERP or WMS systems for data consistency and accuracy and to optimize your workflows.

Proven processes for smooth integration
  1. Careful planning: Take the time to thoroughly plan and prepare your RFID implementation. Consider all stakeholders involved and define clear goals and requirements.
  2. Pre-qualification: Use a test installation of the RFID door to check whether the physical conditions for reliable identification are in place.
  3. Education and training: Train your staff thoroughly in the use of RFID gates and the associated systems. Make sure they understand how they work and can recognize potential problems.
  4. Monitoring and maintenance: Implement a regular monitoring and maintenance program to optimize the performance of your RFID gates and detect and resolve potential problems at an early stage.
