RFID 

Use

By integrating Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) with SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure (SAP All), you can optimize your warehouse processes by using RFID technology.

RFID in EWM enables contact-free identification, control, and tracking of packaged products and handling units by using RFID labels with integrated RFID tags.

In contrast to barcodes, RFID tags offer the following advantages:

●      You can use them multiple times.

●      Multiple RFID tags can be generated at once.

●      RFID tags need not be directly visible for creation.

●      You can save larger data volumes.

For example, RFID tags can be encoded with electronic product codes for unique identification of packaged products and handling units. For this reason, they are a useful supplement to using barcodes.

Using RFID technology in your warehouse offers you numerous advantages:

●      Accurate control of goods movements

●      Transparent information exchange in real-time

●      Avoidance of manual data entry

●      Guarantee of a high product quality

●      Protection of consumers against counterfeit goods
