Where is the pallet your system says you have? An interactive RFID warehouse demo
Follow one tagged pallet from the receiving dock to the dispatch door. Each RFID read updates its location, stock status and movement history. Replay it with a missed read and watch the mismatch appear before it turns into a short shipment.
Every number, ID and event in this demo is simulated to show how the system behaves. None of it is customer data or a measured result.
What you are looking at
- Receiving: a truck is unloaded and the advance shipping notice expects one pallet.
- Identification: the dock portal reads the tag and the pallet is created in the warehouse system.
- Put away: a rack lane reader confirms the pallet on its way to the planned bin.
- Storage: the location is confirmed and stock is updated in ERP.
- Picking: the pallet is picked for a sales order and a handheld confirms the tag.
- Dispatch: the dispatch portal reads it, matches it to the order and the vehicle, and posts goods issue.
- Exception: in the replay, the rack lane read is missed. The system flags a location mismatch and an operator resolves it with a handheld scan.
How this maps to a real RFID system
In a real warehouse we choose readers, antennas and tags for your materials and layout, often mixing RFID with barcodes and QR codes where tags are not practical. Reads go to middleware that filters duplicates and stray reads, then to your WMS or ERP.
We usually start with one dock door or one aisle, measure read rates against a manual count, and extend once the numbers hold.
From real projects
Our RFID warehouse automation processes 16,800 paint barrels an hour, and automated receiving, binning, consumption and returns reduced manual labour by 60 percent at several sites.
Company reported project figure, not independently audited, not a promise for another site.
Questions
How does RFID keep warehouse stock accurate?
Fixed readers at dock doors, rack lanes and dispatch read the tag on each pallet as it passes, so location and stock update from the movement itself instead of someone typing it in later. A missing read shows up as a mismatch that can be checked straight away.
What happens when a tag is not read?
The system still expects the pallet at the planned bin, but the last read is somewhere else. Reconciliation flags the mismatch, an operator confirms the location with a handheld scan, and the exception closes. The demo lets you trigger and resolve one.
Is the data in this demo real?
No. The pallet, tag number, locations and order are simulated to show how the system behaves. They are not customer data.
Does RFID replace our WMS or ERP?
No. RFID reads feed the WMS or ERP you already run, such as SAP, through its standard interfaces. Your system stays the record; the reads make it accurate.
Why does the demo ask for my name and email?
So an engineer can follow up if you want to talk about your own warehouse. The explanation on this page is open to everyone; only the interactive view needs the form, once.
