  • According to Canadian Industry Statistics (CIS) there are three important categories related to manufacturing costs:
    1. Cost of supplies and materials
    2. Cost of energy, water and vehicle fuel
    3. Production workers’ pay
    The year 2012 saw the cost of Household Appliance Manufacturing dominated by the cost of materials and supplies. GAO RFID has the Systems that help in assisting manufacturing companies with decreasing overall costs and boosting efficiency.

    Using GAO RFID Systems in the Household Appliance Manufacturing Industry

    Household appliance manufacturing also includes the design and manufacture of parts and supplies for domestic machines. With the demands for increased operational efficiencies while balancing decreased costs, manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to improve their business. This is how our RFID Systems can help: Raw Material Tracking Pallets of raw materials containing metal, glass and plastics can be embedded with rugged RFID Tags prior to being delivered to appliance manufacturing plants. Tracking items by material, weight and delivery time can effortlessly be scanned with an RFID reader. Our Asset Tracking System allows managers to clearly monitor and track the status and location of raw materials to ensure the availability of these resources during the manufacturing process. Inventory Control Once the manufacturing process is complete, it is important for the managers to ensure a proper control over the inventory before it is shipped to distribution and customers. Each item can be tagged with RFID Tags and all unique information is stored on this tag. At any time, managers can search for inventory and gain insight on when each product was made, how long it has been in storage, and where it is destined to be shipped. The Asset Tracking System eliminates prone methods of manual counts and lookips conducted by old fashioned methods like paper and data entry processes. Shipping & Receiving Assembled products to be delivered to suppliers embedded with RFID tags eliminates any guess work when it comes to monitoring of inventory through the delivery cycle. The most laborious process of shipping and receiving is the picking process. Enabling an ideal workflow by adopting our Asset Tracking System is an effective way to eliminate the error prone activity of picking. RFID Portals set up at every shipping and receiving post guarantee that every pallet goes to its correct destination point. A receipt is automatically generated as the LPN passes through dock and ship doors. Access Control Long range RFID tags attached to pallets to be delivered via tractor trailer can be read by RFID Readers at a distance. This eliminates the need to individually scan each and every item using a barcode scanner. Furthermore transport trucks sent to transport items that have UHF tags displayed on windshields can be given access to swing gates. Instituting RFID Access Control System allows only authorized vehicles to enter and leave a manufacturing plant grounds, this adds an extra layer of security.
