In logistics and freight forwarding, every minute counts. Monitoring pallets, goods and parcels as they enter and leave the warehouse is a critical operation which, if carried out manually, can become a bottleneck. Z Automation’s UHF RFID scanner, with integrated weighing function, is designed to make this process instantaneous and error-free.
The problem with manual control
- Time-consuming: counting and checking each parcel takes minutes, sometimes hours.
- Human error: distractions, tiredness and rushing lead to discrepancies.
- Operational costs: man-hours taken away from more productive tasks.
- Disputes: discrepancies between the order and the dispatch lead to complaints.
The solution: an RFID scanner with a weighing function
Our scanner:
- Automatically reads all RFID tags on pallets, parcels or individual items.
- Checks the weight using the built-in scales, cross-referencing the data with the count.
- Displays the results on a touchscreen in real time.
- Sends the data to the WMS or ERP to update stock levels and dispatch details.
- Works with any item, even in the presence of metal or moisture.
Applications in the industrial hire sector
- Heavy machinery and equipment hire.
- Tools and measuring instruments hire.
- Spare parts and components hire.
- Generators, compressors and pumps hire.
How it works in the warehouse
- The forklift truck positions the pallet inside the scanner.
- The system reads all the tags in less than 5 seconds.
- The scales check that the weight matches the number of items.
- The monitor displays the result: compliant or anomaly.
- The data is sent to the management system.
Benefits for logistics
