Off-line data collection and tracking using radio frequency identification-enabled handhelds can be your key to the success in manufacturing and logistics processes. Being able to read and write data to RFID tags using handheld programming units can easily and reliably manage the data available, and in some cases, dramatically increase the visibility and effectiveness of the process. This is especially true for manual rework stations or at manual delivery and inventory collection points, like shipping/receiving or stocking areas. The availability and access to the process data at these points can also lead to significant reduction in manufacturing and processing errors.

■ Easy access with simple and transmission of RFID tag data 
■ Increased visibility of data at manual access points 
■ Significant error reduction in manual processes with reliable data 
■ Simple RFID reader interface and battery operated 
■ Wireless access and data transmission to networks 
■ Combine RFID with Barcode reading capability


 

	Offline Rework Stations Easily and reliably access and change data on an RFID tag by using an RFID-enabled handheld unit in an offline rework station for palletized manufacturing. The handheld is used to access the parts’ manufacturing data, such as part identification, assembly progress, and testing results. This eliminates the need for paper records and therefore error-prone, paper-based part or rework information. Handhelds also allow operators to write rework data to the tag to maintain maximum visibility throughout the process.
	Closed Loop Logistics Stations By using an RFID-enabled handheld unit, logistics data written to an RFID tag on totes or skids can be easily accessed or modified. Data such as identification of contents, destinations for processing, or storage and retrieval location data is readily available. These handhelds also support barcode readers and wireless WAN or Bluetooth options in order to write or retrieve data from network servers. This provides maximum, real-time visibility for any closed-loop logistics system.
	Asset Tracking and Identification   With an RFID-enabled handheld unit, RFID asset tags can be used to track mobile assets, such as quality apparatus,  welding guns, and hand tools. These assets can be “tagged” temporarily or permanently and the data on the RFID tag can be used to identify and track the whereabouts of the assets anywhere in the facility. This data can then be immediately transferred to a database to maintain maximum visibility of these assets, improving operational efficiency and record keeping.
