During the initial RFID planning phase, FORTE studies your operation and the optimal RFID-enabled process flow is identified. In addition, a sound, strategic business case is established and an expected return on investment is determined. FORTE and your project team work together to plan and execute the RFID program with seamless integration into the existing manufacturing and distribution system.

Through detailed testing, FORTE conducts a thorough evaluation of readers, antennae, and tag types to certify the best combination of technology for your specific distribution operation. This evaluation specifies how each product and package should be tagged and read, verifying the optimal location on the case or pallet, and where in the operation the tags are applied.

Scalable, operational deployment strategies are defined to minimize the expense of tagging and maximize the read-rate of RFID tags. To begin RFID tagging, the proper hardware, software and automation equipment is budgeted and procured, delivering an RFID program that minimizes any impact on your current operations.
