Customer Story
Faurecia Creates Factory of the Future with RAIN RFID
Vehicle interior manufacturer Faurecia optimizes production and shipment operations with a RAIN RFID system for real-time asset tracking from Impinj. Faurecia worked with Impinj and partner UBI Solutions to create a RAIN RFID solution that can now be deployed within one week at each new plant. By tagging items that enter the plant and using Impinj readers along the manufacturing line, they optimized their logistics process while eliminating redundant manual steps.
Shipment Verification:
Track parts and goods moving between plants for maximum operational efficiency
Learn more Gain real-time, accurate data about the movement of goods
Integrate real-time, item-level data into existing enterprise shipping and logistics applications so the data reflected in the system accurately represents what's happening at the loading dock. This accurate information enables logistics teams to make key business decisions quickly.
Achieve high performance, high data integrity, high confidence
Gain confidence that all shipment data is correct in the system of record. The Impinj platform includes algorithms, diagnostics, and advanced capabilities that eliminate stray reads, automatically adjust system performance, and ensure accurate tag data delivery.
Track reusable shipping containers and other assets
Add Impinj-enabled tags to reusable shipping containers for automated management of where the containers have gone and when they’ve been returned. Automate the tracking process with reusable containers that are shipped out and returned to your business.
PARTNER SOLUTION
Automate Monitoring of Shipments with Impinj Partner SLS
Use RAIN RFID to automate tracking of shipments through dock doors for efficient processing, real-time data, and key operational insights with SLS RFID Solutions. SLS D-Series™, with Impinj readers inside, connect the systems running your shipping and receiving with real-time data about every item that passes through dock doors or other transition points.
Asset Management:
Automate management of tools and equipment to improve utilization and streamline maintenance
Learn more Reduce loss and lower costs
Gain item-level data about every asset to ensure important tools and equipment don’t get lost, misplaced, or stolen. By keeping up-to-date on your tools' whereabouts, you can reduce overall inventory levels while ensuring adequate supplies across all locations.
Get the tools you need when you need them
Eliminate the need for manual processes, spreadsheets, post-it notes, and other ineffective methods. Ensure compliance with maintenance schedules and product recalls by seeing an asset’s inventory, location, and history. Better plan and prepare supply levels to maximize investments.
Hassle-free integration with current systems
Extend the value of an existing asset management application with IoT capabilities. The Impinj platform easily integrates into existing enterprise systems and enables the real-time data collection needed to provide visibility into asset use and availablility so that teams can work at the pace of modern business.
