Success Stories
Data Center Automation: Leveraging RFID Technology For Critical Processes
Data center management faces challenges such as time-consuming asset inventories and maintaining compliance with regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA. RFID technology offers a streamlined solution, significantly reducing inventory time by up to 90% and improving accuracy. Unlike barcodes, RFID enables batch reading and real-time asset visibility without the need for line-of-sight or manual intervention. This automation helps with compliance reporting, security, and improving asset utilization. RFID also provides efficient tracking across server racks and storage areas, making it easier to manage IT assets throughout their lifecycle. With RFID, data centers can increase productivity, reduce labor, and improve security and compliance with minimal disruption.
Success Stories
How Mitsui MES Brings Real-Time Visibility to its Manufacturing Work-In-Process
Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (MES) faced challenges managing large quantities of components—up to 55,000 parts for a single crane—from multiple vendors at its Oita Works facility. Manual sorting and tracking of these parts was time-consuming and prone to errors. To improve efficiency, MES implemented Xerafy’s Mercury METAL SKIN RFID labels for real-time, item-level tracking. These durable, on-metal RFID labels allowed vendors to pre-label parts before delivery, streamlining the acceptance process and enhancing inventory accuracy. As a result, MES saw significant productivity gains, reducing time spent on component acceptance and improving delivery efficiency to production sites. This solution not only optimized operations but also provided MES with valuable insights into their work-in-process using IoT technologies.

Improving LPG Gas Cylinders Inventory Control: The Role of Digital Solutions and RFID
Efficiently managing LPG gas cylinder inventory presents challenges in logistics, safety, and compliance. Operators struggle with accurate tracking, inventory loss, and the complex lifecycle of cylinders that span 15-25 years. Traditional methods, like manual tracking or barcodes, can be error-prone and labor-intensive, while GPS and RFID solutions offer better efficiency. RFID, specifically UHF passive tags, provide automated, long-range tracking, overcoming limitations of older technologies. These tags ensure accurate identification, automate bulk scanning, and function well even on metal cylinders. Leading companies like Praxair and Air Liquide are already leveraging RFID for real-time inventory visibility, streamlining operations, and ensuring safety and compliance.
