The Hardware and Real-Time Data Collection Necessary to Power Demand-Driven Supply Networks

 

There is a reason for the wireless and RFID mania, and it’s not just the Wal-Mart and DoD mandates. Constant pursuit of better intelligence is the driver, and has been the obsession of the best enterprises.”

Ann Grackin, CEO of ChainLink Research

Complex supply chain processes rely on accurate, up-to-date information. RFID and other wireless devices bring real-time data to your networked processes. You become more responsive to constantly changing conditions in your value network.

One Network's One Network Devices team can help you select, configure and use wireless devices that are right for your business and your processes. Then we show you how to bring real-time data from these devices directly into the order, shipment and inventory processes on One Network. You'll have a real-time connection between your physical assets and your value network processes.

  • Retailers can use real-time point-of-sale (POS) information, along with data from inexpensive handheld devices, to better manage perpetual inventory and implement computer-assisted ordering (CAO) based on actual inventory and demand.
  • Field service organizations can access dispatch instructions on handheld wireless devices, adjust schedules based on actual call times, manage inventory, and track returned parts using RFID tags or barcode scanners.
  • Supply chain security can be increased by tracking an RFID tag on a container by satellite, and alerting the value network immediately when the container is opened or an unauthorized move has occurred.
  • Transportation managers can use data from an RFID tag on a truck to alert the One Network system that the truck would miss its appointment at the dock, triggering a rescheduling process using ONE’s appointment scheduling engine.

One Network has formed partnership agreements with leading hardware suppliers including Intermec, Datalogic, Motorola and Zebra. Your One Network wireless and RFID experts install and support the entire project, from hardware to the network to the business process. So you can get right to work.
