Autonomous Logistics with RFID
Our Autonomous Logistics solution helps you eliminate loading bay discrepancies and reverse logistics errors—achieving 0% error rates and an average return on investment (ROI) of 14 months through a seamless deployment that keeps your warehouse fully operational.
Tecnipesa automates the identification, validation, logging, and traceability of all your logistics movements using RFID. All without the need to invest in costly automated warehouse systems.
A Revolution in RFID Tracking and Traceability
What keeps a Logistics or IT Manager awake at 3:00 a.m.?
It is never abstract theory; it is the real-world operational issues that hit the bottom line:
- A vehicle dispatched to the wrong customer with the wrong consignment, triggering massive Reverse Logistics costs.
- Operatives wasting valuable time with manual barcode scanners across loading bays, causing bottlenecks in outbound shipping.
- Inventory discrepancies that go unnoticed until the customer files a claim for an incomplete order.
- IT concerns around onboarding new IoT devices onto the corporate network that could compromise data security.
Improperly configured or poorly calibrated RFID systems can generate stray reads, accidentally capturing adjacent pallets that are not part of the intended goods movement. This forces teams back into manual verification and ultimately undermines confidence in the entire system.
TECNIPESA Autonomous Logistics was developed to eliminate these operational challenges. It is a proven solution tested and validated in high-demand industrial environments. We never experiment on your shop floor or inside your warehouse: we implement a robust, reliable system that automates information flow end-to-end and keeps manual intervention to an absolute minimum.
Proven Technology for 100% Reliable Autonomous Logistics
BRAVE® RFID Gates + Tecnipesa RFID Connect Middleware
Our Autonomous Logistics solution brings together RFID identification hardware with an intelligent software layer designed to interpret, process, and manage tag reads.
BRAVE® is an intelligent RFID Gate engineered to identify goods automatically at critical operational control points. Simultaneously, our Tecnipesa RFID Connect middleware validates and converts those tag reads into actionable data that integrates instantaneously with your host management systems (WMS / ERP).
It delivers a robust, flexible architecture that automates data flow end-to-end—without requiring you to alter how goods move through your operation.
Value from Day One
Savings on Reverse Logistics
The visual and audible signals that Brave® sends to the operator significantly reduce incorrect shipments and returns.
Eliminate Stray Reads
With Brave®, errors are reduced by up to 99%. The operator is aware of the load's status at all times.
Instant, Unattended Reading
Brave® automatically scans all merchandise that passes in front of it, without requiring any operator intervention.
Fast Integration with Existing Workflows
A turnkey solution ready to connect to any equipment or system, offering seamless integration with existing processes.
Optimised Vehicle Loading Times
It can reduce loading time by up to 25%, which translates into a significant increase in shipping productivity.
Which Processes Can You Automate with Autonomous Logistics?
Loading Bay Goods Verification
Loading docks are critical points in the supply chain where goods are checked and validated before distribution. Brave+Connect enables fast and accurate scanning of goods entering and leaving the docks, thereby ensuring proper validation and preventing errors during the loading and unloading of trucks.
Internal Checkpoints
In complex manufacturing facilities and high-throughput distribution centres, internal checkpoints are vital for monitoring material flow between departments. Our solution serves as a reliable checkpoint across these transit zones, automatically capturing product flow as items pass through RFID gates. This ensures tighter production control, complete end-to-end product traceability, and accurate, efficient inventory and supply chain management.
Inbound and Outbound Gates
Entrance and exit gates are key access points in any logistics facility. By installing the Brave® RFID Reading Arch at these strategic locations, companies can automatically track the entry and exit of goods and assets, without the need for manual intervention, ensuring an accurate record of goods movements.
Asset Tracking
Asset management is essential for any business, especially in industries such as manufacturing and healthcare. The Brave+Connect solution provides a robust asset management solution by enabling the automatic identification and tracking of RFID-tagged assets. This makes it easier to locate and manage assets, reducing the time spent on manual inventory counts and improving operational efficiency.
