Use Cases For Manufacturers

Increased Throughput

Manufacturing throughput time is defined as the amount of time required for a product to pass through a manufacturing process, thereby being converted from raw materials into finished goods. Our technology gives manufacturers the ability to monitor assets and assembly parts and track work-in-progress (WIP) from work order to final assembly.

Increased Inventory Accuracy

CS Smart Antenna Technology gives manufacturers the ability to track tools, parts, raw materials and transport vehicles in real-time throughout your entire facility. You can get automated transactional events without human intervention. With RF Controls passive RTLS in place, you can manage durable and expendable assets more effectively. Knowing what you have in stock, in repair or out on the floor means that you can more effectively use your assets, restock less and find your assets faster.

Faster Location of Assets

Without a real-time location-based tracking system, finding assets in a large facility is a frustrating experience that can lead to liabilities, safety issues and inefficiencies. RF Controls passive RTLS can help minimize these burdens if not outright solve them. With reliable location of your assets, you won’t need to play this game. Find the item in real-time, when you need it.

Better Safety & Compliance

Surprisingly, many manufacturers simply don’t have the ability to completely monitor their operations. Shutting down an operation to investigate and solve a problem is not acceptable. With RF Controls CS Smart Antenna Technology, compliance issues and their consequences can be mitigated and eliminated.
