How Do Mobile Solutions Add Value to RFID Technology?
Challenge Mobile Solution Value
Exception Processing Allows misreads and other problem shipments to be
investigated away from the dock without impeding flow
Remote Location Support Provides a means of utilizing RFID information for
receiving — even in the middle of a desert
Quick Start No installation and low total solution cost allows a
“quick start” with RFID
In Situ Processing Goods stored away from fixed readers — e.g., in storage
racks – can still be processed using RFID tag information
Mixed Bar Code and RFID Lets workers switch quickly between RFID-tagged items
and items marked with a bar code
