RFID Tagging Implementation During Receiving and Inventory Bulk Scanning
How we extended RFID tagging from shipping to the receiving stage, enabling accurate bulk inventory scanning, real-time data synchronization, and operational efficiency without disrupting existing workflows.
The Challenge
The client had implemented RFID tagging for shipping operations but lacked similar functionality at the receiving stage. This gap caused delays in inventory updates, increased manual errors, and limited RFID visibility for inbound stock.
Technical Pain Points
- No RFID tagging at item receiving, causing incomplete tracking
- Limited integration between ERP, merchandising, and RFID platforms
- Manual tag generation processes prone to errors
- Complex workflows across multiple systems and export mechanisms
Business Impact
- Slower inventory processing
- Reduced accuracy in stock records
- Missed opportunities for operational automation
- Lack of end-to-end visibility in RFID lifecycle
Critical Issues Summary
Our Solution
We extended and automated RFID tagging across the receiving workflow
Key Transformation Areas
End-to-End RFID Integration
Implemented RFID data sync during UPC generation for both Rootstock and KWI export processes, ensuring tags are created at the earliest stage possible.
Microservice-Driven Data Sync
Developed a custom Golang microservice with Azure Bus for queued RFID data processing and export to Tracksphere (RFID Discovery platform).
Multi-Screen Tag Generation
Enabled RFID tag printing on six key merchandising and receiving screens, with printer selection and template options for various item categories.
Automated Printing & Queuing
Configured RFID print templates and printer setup on the RFID server, ensuring fast and accurate label printing at scale.
