Fabory Logic RFID Inventory Management & Smart Logistics for zero production downtime

An everyday story about inventory management

Using RFID, stock management can be monitored smartly. We can keep track of how many bolts, nuts, and screws our employees have used and determine the quantity that needs to be re-ordered for an optimal stock level. The RFID solution provides insight into the orders that have already been placed and those about to be delivered.

One of Fabory's customers who use RFID is Lan Handling. Once a week, a Fabory merchandiser replenishes the stock. Lan Handling says, "The production in the factory should never come to a halt. The absence of a small part of a machine such as a nut or screw can make a big difference."

100% availability
