Optimisation

Inventory Optimisation and Operating Cost Reduction

Digital tools allow real-time inventory management, preventing overstocking or stockouts. This lowers holding costs and minimises waste while boosting operational efficiency through the identification and removal of workflow bottlenecks.

Automation and Operational Accuracy

Automation and Operational Accuracy

Automating workflows—such as order receiving and dispatch scheduling—reduces manual intervention, minimising errors and improving accuracy across the supply chain. This drives productivity and empowers faster, data-driven decision-making.

Improved Planning

Enhanced Planning and Agility

By leveraging real-time data analytics, digitisation enables precise demand forecasting and more efficient production planning. This optimises the supply chain, allowing your business to adapt quickly to shifting market dynamics or supply disruptions.

Sustainability

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

Digitisation optimises logistics operations and reduces resource waste, contributing to sustainable operations. Furthermore, it enables energy monitoring and regulatory compliance, reducing your carbon footprint.

Visibility

Superior Customer Experience

Enhanced process visibility and accuracy allow businesses to provide customers with precise delivery updates and potential delay notifications. This builds trust, enhances customer satisfaction, and fosters long-term customer loyalty.

Supply Chain Optimisation: Complete Control from Goods Receiving to Dispatch

To build an efficient supply chain, your strategy must seamlessly link your organization's key functional areas, including procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and sales. The advanced management tools detailed below enable smooth collaboration across every phase of the supply chain while providing real-time access to critical data. This enhances cross-departmental coordination and improves operational adaptability to demand shifts or unexpected disruptions, optimising every stage from planning through to distribution and returns management.

In any manufacturing industry, the planning phase is vital for effective supply chain management.

We utilise data captured via RFID and barcodes to analyse real material flows. This allows you to forecast demand accurately and adjust production resources before bottlenecks occur.

As raw materials arrive at your facility, they are tagged with RFID labels. Combined with an inbound and outbound tracking system, this allows you to manage material flows from suppliers through to warehouse receiving—guaranteeing complete product traceability across all operational phases and enabling precise inventory control of raw materials and sub-assemblies for subsequent manufacturing.

During manufacturing, Industry 4.0 machine vision systems inspect production quality, analysing each stage of fabrication. For assembly operations, the Tecnipesa Brave® RFID Gate provides exceptional control by reading and logging data embedded within the RFID tags of assembled sub-components. This verifies that correct elements were used during assembly to guarantee product quality while simplifying stock management within your digitised facility.

Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) provide total real-time visibility across finished goods and raw materials, optimising storage and two-way product flows—both towards production lines and into order picking and distribution. These tools provide continuous, up-to-date visibility of stock availability, optimising overall inventory control.

In distribution, Voice Picking systems transform order preparation by enabling hands-free operation. This enhances worker safety while reducing picking errors to near zero, effectively eliminating costs associated with product returns and reverse logistics.

Deploying RFID tags simplifies returns management when paired with Tecnipesa Connect middleware, automatically logging returned items upon arrival. Returned goods can then be swiftly processed for restocking, reprocessing, or disposal based on specific product criteria. Custom software solutions can also be engineered for complex return workflows, streamlining product flows and ensuring precise inventory control during this final stage.

Sector Applications

Industry Localisation
We solve critical traceability challenges and satisfy industrial regulatory requirements through process digitisation.

Food & Beverage Food & Beverage

Managing Freshness and Regulatory Compliance

  • Sector Challenge: Strict batch management, expiry date enforcement (FEFO/FIFO), and the requirement for flawless reverse traceability during product recalls.
  • Applied Solution: We deploy traceability systems using RFID/UHF and industrial mobile terminals that automate pallet and case identification. Operators automatically follow FEFO logic, minimising obsolete stock risks and reducing batch retrieval times from hours to seconds during a safety audit.

Automotive & Manufacturing Automotive & Manufacturing

Component Tracking and Kitting

  • Sector Challenge: Critical component traceability from tier suppliers to assembly lines (Just-In-Time) and precise kitting for diverse vehicle models.
  • Applied Solution: We deploy machine vision and barcode scanning to verify inbound components. On the assembly line, mobile terminals or pick-to-light systems guide operators through precise kitting workflows, feeding data directly into your MES (Manufacturing Execution System) for complete end-to-end vehicle or machinery traceability.

ROI is achieved rapidly across operational and financial metrics. Beyond direct cost savings from reduced picking errors, lower obsolete inventory, and labor optimisation, the primary benefit is operational risk mitigation. By establishing supply chain visibility and resilience, you minimise the impact of unexpected disruptions (such as stockouts or traceability failures), protecting long-term profitability and corporate reputation.

The choice between RFID and barcode technology depends on required read density, operational speed, and the environment. Barcodes offer a cost-effective, highly reliable solution for point-to-point scanning. However, RFID is ideal when your facility requires:
  1. High-volume batch reads (scanning hundreds of items per second).
  2. Hands-free data capture without line-of-sight visual contact.
  3. Item-level traceability in complex or highly automated environments.
  4. Our technical experts can analyze your current workflows to recommend the optimal technology for your facility.
