RFID Real Time Location System (RTLS) is transforming asset and personnel tracking by delivering precise, real-time visibility across dynamic environments. Unlike traditional RFID tracking, RTLS leverages advanced technologies like active RFID, GPS, or UWB to provide continuous location updates—enabling industries to monitor high-value equipment, optimize workflow, and enhance safety with unprecedented accuracy. From healthcare to smart warehouses, this system bridges the gap between operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making. Discover how RFID RTLS is redefining the future of automated tracking.
1.RFID Warehouse Management Location System
In most warehouses, the location of pallets or goods is recorded by workers’ handwriting or manual input into the computer. This manual method is inherently prone to errors. Moreover, in high traffic warehouses, finding a pallet of goods is a very time-consuming process. In addition to the labor costs involved, the extra search time can lead to interruptions in the production process and delays in customer orders, as well as delays in the shelf life of sensitive products such as food and pharmaceuticals.
SEIKO has developed a real-time warehouse location system that enables fully automated, real-time, accurate location and tracking of containers, pallets, bins and items. The use of RFID, sensors and wireless communication technology, for enterprises to provide real-time, accurate inventory information, reducing labor and error rate. System application features.
- Automatic identification of goods and recording of location, generating a 3D view of goods location;
- Alarms for errors in goods status or location;
- Provides status reports and log browsing;
- Real-time data transfer and task assignment via wireless network;
- Ease of operation, with direct clicks on the forklift’s touch screen.
Practical applications: automotive parts manufacturing plants, cigarette production plants, food processing plants, paper mills, toy distribution centers, etc.
2.RFID Container Yard Management System
In order to adapt to the trend of rapid development of global cargo circulation, the urgent requirement of strengthening cargo monitoring and anti-terrorism, higher requirements have been put forward for the container, the main carrier of cargo circulation, such as standardization, security, traceability and monitoring, etc. Seiko’s RFID Container Yard Management System firstly manages the container logistic chain at its source, and its goal is to Simplify and standardize the container management process from factory to yard to shipment. The implementation of the program will minimize the error rate caused by human factors or operational lags, and provide early warning of unsafe containers, preventing problems before they occur. System application features:
The world’s first use of low-cost passive RFID metal tags, with non-contact operation, can be read and written quickly over long distances, multiple readings at once, reuse, resistance to harsh environments, etc.;
- In the entrance and exit of the automatic and accurate collection of containers and trailers, information and time, security checks, automatic billing, data and enterprise system interface;
- In the container of the stacking trucks are equipped with on-board readers ¨ Automatic identification of container numbers to improve efficiency;
- Through the visualized operation interface, managers can easily determine the status and location of containers;
- Through the use of mobile computers, workers avoid manual recording of container numbers to improve efficiency and accuracy;
- Through the highly fault-tolerant messaging mechanism, real-time transmission of management commands or operation information is possible between managers and operation workers.
Anti Metal RFID Tag Manufacturers
Practical application: the world’s largest container producer, more than 40 yards, with a yard area of more than 100,000 square meters, more than 30,000 containers, with a height of 10 floors. ROI within one year: no more lost containers, no wrong containers, less finding containers and renting stacker trucks.
3.RFID Supply Chain Management System
Every single item (e.g. clothing, footwear, pharmaceuticals, food, cigarettes, electrical appliances, etc.) enters its own logistics supply chain (factories, distribution centers, stores, users) from the time it leaves the production line after manufacturing. seiko’s RFID Supply Chain Management System focuses on monitoring the quantity, time, frequency, and even quality of goods moving in and out of warehouses in the intermediate stages of the logistics supply chain. seiko’s RFID supply chain management system focuses on the flow of goods between warehouses in the middle of the logistics supply chain in terms of quantity, time, frequency, and even quality monitoring, and cares about each and every entry and exit of goods in the middle of the supply chain. System application features:
- The use of low-cost RFID tags, each single item can be automatically tracked, 100% read rate;
- RFID tags can be recycled and reused to ensure return on investment
- No need to count one by one like barcodes, no need to open the box to save labor and improve the accuracy of the
- In a short period of time, you can take a full inventory of inventory, at any time, to grasp the accurate information of inventory;
- Visualization of supply chain management, inventory control and quality monitoring. supply chain management, inventory control and information exchange and sharing;
- Includes comprehensive tracking and location of product flows between manufacturers, intermediaries, and retailers;
- Easy to implement with a modular approach, providing the modules necessary for the enterprise to save time and money;
- Better interface between RFID applications and business processes.
Real-world application: Large Chinese cashmere sweater company with more than 200 retail stores and products sold throughout the U.S., Japan and Europe. The first to use RFID from production to distribution to retail tracking of clothing, which can increase sales by 2% and 5% full-price sales, reducing internal consumption by 2% and a large number of labor.
4.RFID vehicles management system
seiko company develops the RFID based city vehicles management system, is by installs in the motor vehicle (such as the front windshield) on the electronic label and the vehicle outside the antenna as well as the reader, each kind of peripheral and the software management system composition. Among them, the electronic label is used to store the vehicle’s various information, such as the vehicle basic information, the vehicle examination information, the violation of the law and the incident information, the vehicle related record and so on various information. The reader is used to read or write the information from the electronic label, have the police officer to take in the hand or put in the car hand-held, also have fixed in a fixed place. The software system is responsible for and each management subsystem data exchange and data management. The system application characteristic:
supports the passive UHF electron label, the large capacity, the tamper-proof, the encryption, the life is long, the maintenance-free, applies each kind of vehicles and each kind of bad environment;
- The vehicles don’t stop the automatic entrance and exit;
- Enhances the city vehicles and the traffic management efficiency;
- May with each kind of charge system combination.
Practical applications: city vehicle management, yard vehicle management, road and bridge tolls, customs vehicle clearance, school vehicle management.
