In today's technology-driven world, the concept behind a product plays a crucial role in its success. A compelling idea can often be the key to capturing market attention and driving adoption. Among various tech innovations, "mobility" has emerged as a must-have feature, offering immense value and transforming how products are used. From cassette tapes evolving into Walkmans, to landline phones turning into mobile devices, and desktops giving way to laptops, the shift toward mobility has been a consistent trend. Intermec, a leader in automatic identification technology, emphasizes that mobility is not just a buzzword—it’s a powerful enabler for RFID solutions. While the benefits of RFID are well-established, high deployment costs have often held back widespread adoption. By focusing on cost-performance balance and highlighting the advantages of mobile RFID, manufacturers can encourage more businesses to embrace this technology. One effective approach is integrating mobility into RFID systems, which offers multiple benefits. The most common mobile RFID solution involves making readers "read anywhere." For example, by equipping forklifts with RFID readers, companies can significantly enhance their return on investment (ROI) in four key ways: reducing capital expenditures, increasing equipment utilization, improving system scalability, and cutting down on labor costs. Reducing capital expenditure is one of the biggest advantages. Traditionally, fixed RFID readers were installed at entry and exit points in warehouses or distribution centers, but this approach was inefficient. Only a fraction of pallets or containers required RFID scanning, yet the infrastructure was costly and underutilized. Some companies tried a compromise by using RFID readers only at certain gates, but this led to coordination challenges and errors. By switching to mobile RFID forklifts, companies can reduce hardware costs by up to 75%, as one forklift can serve multiple gates. Increased equipment utilization is another benefit. With mobile RFID readers on forklifts, scanning can occur at various locations—such as loading docks, storage areas, packing stations, and even trucks. This flexibility surpasses the limitations of fixed readers. Intermec’s Real-Time Location Service (RTLS) enhances this further by providing real-time tracking data through wireless LAN integration. This allows for better planning, maintenance, and productivity insights. Enhanced system scalability is also a major advantage. Mobile RFID systems are adaptable, so when a company needs to expand or add new applications, it’s easier to adjust existing forklift setups rather than invest in new hardware. This reduces expansion costs and boosts the ROI of initial RFID investments. Finally, mobile RFID helps save labor and streamline processes. In environments where manual scanning or barcode reading is impractical, RFID forklifts offer a faster and more accurate alternative. This reduces errors like stockouts, overstocking, and misdeliveries. METRO Group, an Intermec customer, reported a 14% reduction in labor, 11% improvement in inventory availability, and 18% less product loss after implementing mobile RFID systems. Despite these benefits, deploying RFID forklifts can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring full-day setup by experts. To address this, Intermec recently partnered with Cascade to develop an installation system that cuts setup time from a day to just 20 minutes, making mobile RFID more accessible and efficient for users.
