Today's manufacturers have a full plate of initiatives, from reshoring to sustainability, faster design-to-delivery cycles and greater work order transparency. And their use of RFID is becoming more and more prevalent. But the rationale behind RFID process automation has
evolved over the years, from supplier mandates, to cost reductions, to
performance improvement. In a recent article in Manufacturing Business Technology, OAT Asset Tracking Senior Director, Chris Forgione, discusses five major
trends that are driving the adoption of RFID and RTLS in Manufacturing:
1. Multi-facility Assembly
2. Design-to-Delivery
3. Product Innovation
4. Customer-Facing Operations
5. Enterprise Asset Management
Many of these trends are gaining importance because they're not relegated to a corner of the manufacturing operation. They are taking hold because, like working capital allocation, they have a direct impact on corporate performance and shareholder value.
