Future-Proof Your Warehouse with RFID

Whatever type of warehouse operation you’re managing, manual processes and legacy systems simply can’t keep pace with the intensely competitive warehouse industry. In fact, across the country, warehousing, distribution and fulfillment operations are transforming their operations to meet the growing demands of today’s on-demand economy.

Decision makers everywhere are pursuing new approaches and technologies that can help them optimize productivity, efficiency and accuracy. At many facilities, workers are already using handheld devices to read barcodes and radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and robots to increase efficiency and minimize the risk of workplace injury.

The Power of RFID
Today’s smart warehouse operations are leveraging the power of RFID to increase productivity – from receiving and picking to cross-docking and shipping. Whether your warehouse is used for storage of raw materials and manufactured goods, cold storage, distribution, fulfillment or long- or short-term dock storage, you need to stay connected to your inventory. Zebra’s RFID solutions can help you increase accuracy, boost efficiency, exceed operational expectations and achieve the level of agility required to stay ahead of the competition.

The Zebra’s portfolio of handheld and hands-free RFID readers and RFID-enabled scanners make tracking, tracing and tallying assets in real time quick and easy – across the enterprise, for all your critical applications.
