Solution

RFID warehouse management system

Manage RFID receiving, document-controlled acceptance, pallet and carton checks, shelf addressing, transfers, counting, shipping validation and ERP/WMS integration.

Operations Workflow Integration Hardware

Operational view

RFID warehouse operation flow

Field implementationizes EPC-based control points across warehouse workflows.

RfidSpace warehouse RFID is built around operational movement: every EPC read is connected to a receipt, shelf, transfer, stock count or shipment event.

RFID receiving

Inbound pallets, cartons and items are read by handheld, gate or tunnel readers and compared with expected document lines.

Document-controlled acceptance
Pallet and carton validation
Short/over receipt reports

Shelf and address assignment

Products are linked to warehouse, zone, aisle, shelf and temporary locations so physical stock and system stock stay aligned.

Address-based stock
Wrong-location alerts
Forklift-assisted movement

Counting and shipment

Full or partial stock counts and shipment checks compare expected EPC lists with what is physically read.

Full count
Partial count
Shipping discrepancy

Warehouse workflow details

Handheld receiving

Expected items are read against the selected shipment or transfer document; unplanned receiving can also capture products directly into the warehouse.

Receiving at multiple locations
Expected-read quantity control
Item, carton and pallet validation

Gate and forklift triggering

When a forklift enters a defined area, sensors can trigger antenna reads and show mismatched products or document errors to the operator.

Automatic zone trigger
EPC read during forklift transition
Wrong item alert

Warehouse-to-warehouse transfer

In document-based or non-document transfer flows, read EPCs are assigned to the target warehouse with user, time and location context.

Source/target warehouse control
Online or offline transfer
Transfer reconciliation

Warehouse-to-store dispatch

Products shipped from central warehouse to stores are compared with order or dispatch documents, and discrepancies are separated before shipment.

Order-based dispatch
Carton matching
Gate validation

Warehouse workflow

1. Document is opened

Purchase, transfer or shipment documents are received from ERP, SAP or WMS.

2. RFID read is captured

Handhelds, forklift readers, portals or tunnels capture EPCs at the operational point.

3. Exceptions are reported

Missing, extra and wrong items are shown before stock is confirmed.

4. Movement is posted

Approved movements update location, stock and integration records.

Forklift RFID reading

Forklift-mounted readers can capture pallet movement without requiring a separate manual scan.

Forklift-pallet match
Gate validation
Internal transfer

EPC movement history

Each EPC keeps an auditable history from receiving and shelving to counting and shipment.

Who read it?
Where was it?
Which document moved it?

Hardware and integration

Recommended hardware

The project can use UHF handhelds, fixed readers, antennas, RFID tunnels, printers, PDKS terminals, BLE gateways or ESL access points depending on the workflow.

RFID handhelds
Fixed readers and antennas
RFID printers and labels

RfidSpace integration

Reads are mapped to product, asset, personnel, location, document and time records. API logs and user actions remain auditable.
