Edible Oil Warehouse RFID Pallet Tracking Case Study

A premier edible oil manufacturer producing millions of liters annually in 15-liter tins, 5-liter jars, and 1-liter pouches operates a high-throughput multi-floor manufacturing and warehousing facility. Palletized stock moves constantly from 1st-floor packaging lines via heavy freight elevators to 2nd-floor buffer staging and ground-floor outbound dispatch bays. Tracking stock movement between vertical floors and preventing lost pallets in staging aisles was a critical operational priority.

RFID Softwares implemented an integrated multi-point tracking network: * Packaging Line Exit Scanners: Pallets exiting automated shrink-wrap machines receive serialized UHF RFID tags and are scanned automatically at conveyor exits. * Freight Elevator Lift Gate Antennas: High-gain, circularly polarized RFID antennas installed at freight elevator lift entrances automatically log every pallet entering or exiting each floor, automatically updating WMS vertical location coordinates in real-time. * Bulk Bay Floor Mapping: Handheld readers allow staging managers to locate specific batch numbers and expiration dates instantly among thousands of identical stacked pallets. * Outbound Truck Dock Verification: Loading bay portals verify pallet batch numbers against shipping orders before billing confirmation.

* 100% Multi-Floor Visibility: Real-time automated floor tracking eliminated lost pallets and manual sign-out logbooks. * Zero Dispatch Errors: Outbound trucks leave with 100% verified SKU batches, ensuring full FSSAI compliance and zero return shipments. * High-Speed Pallet Throughput: Over 1,200 packaged units per minute verified through high-speed portals.
