RFID inventory management. The parts order will be triggered here by
simply turning a two-part container. Advantage of Purchasing and
Production: high process security and secure order placement.
Should the stock of carbon parts are running low, the container with
RFID tag is removed from the shelf and put into order item. Image:

What now for consumers is a vision of the future but, in the
catchment area of B2B: We're talking about automatic reorders. If
there is no milk in the refrigerator, consumers are not passing along
a corridor to the supermarket. For companies, the situation looks at
the order of low-priced C-parts that make a large acquisition and
handling costs, but different: With its acquisition of the RFID
technology is used.
Kanban containers with RFID tags
As a pioneer in the German market, Keller & Kalmbach on the Kanban
system turnLOG for the industry. The system is amazingly simple and
clearly increases the efficiency and process reliability of
procurement processes.
Which are divided into a shelf ends are containers for the storage of
nuts, bolts and dowels. They have a fuel consumption as well as a
safety stock and one mounted on the backside of the tank RFID
transponder.

Changed position of the RFID transponder signal triggers order
Going to run out of inventory consumption, the container is inverted
and brought into order item. The magnetic rail at the front of the
shelf generates a magnetic field signal and activates the order by the
changed position of the transponder. The turnLOG controller, which is
located at a distance of approximately 50 m at any location in the
production hall, receives the radio signal. After a plausibility check
of the order is the wireless transmission of data via GSM / GPRS or
W-LAN to the central IT system by Keller & Kalmbach.
Kanban system Pushlog for large, bulky items
The LED indicator on the tank signals the release of the ordering
process. If it is large, bulky or heavy items, such as threaded rods,
the Kanban system Pushlog into action. In this case, the transponder
is located for the order placement on a shelf, cabinet or container.
The order is triggered by pressing the button on the transponder
attached. Again, the order will be transmitted via wireless
technology. The flashing LED indicator demonstrates the induced order.
How can the system turnLOG Pushlog be easily integrated into an
existing storage infrastructure.
RFID Kanban system optimized C-parts ordering
RFID Kanban system identifies faulty containers and defective transponder
In terms of process safety turnLOG differs from other RFID Kanban
systems. Each Kanban or transponder is assigned a unique
identification number. This is the relevant article, "married". After
the transponders are interrogated continuously by the controller,
missing or defective container RFID transponders from the system
storage space can be identified and reported accurately.
Furthermore, the system automatically recognizes "illogical" orders
(such as sudden peaks in demand, double ordering). It also ensures
that orders are not triggered by mistake, because the order is
triggered only after a predetermined minimum time.
RFID Kanban system reduces the cost
Compared to conventional barcode or weighing the use of turnLOG offers
the security process to reduce costs. A timely and accurate ordering
process is secured. Peak demand can be planned in advance and covered.

The system requires neither scanner nor scales or mechanics, and can
be easily integrated into existing environments. Installation takes
only a few hours and is locally flexible.
Prices for the various logistics RFID logistics system turnLOG
The RFID-controlled logistics system is suitable turnLOG annually
according to the company for about 25,000 € of needs and is in the
C-parts management set new standards in terms of cost effectiveness
and safety. The award of the RFID-Kanban system and the Swiss
Logistics Award and the European Award for Logistics Excellence
underscores the innovation, as they say. The patented RFID Kanban
system is from Keller & Kalmbach offered exclusively in Germany.
