RFID Digital Kanban

Turn material needs into replenishment action.

Use RFID-enabled Kanban cards to signal material needs and coordinate replenishment. Give teams a clearer view of open requests, inventory information and exceptions, with the workflow and system connections agreed for your operation.

RFID Digital Kanban in brief

Watch a short introduction to RFID Digital Kanban.

Example workflow

  1. Capture a replenishment signal

    Scan an RFID Kanban card at the collection point.

  2. Review and progress the request

    View open requests, inventory information and exceptions.

  3. Receive material and reset the card

    Complete replenishment and return the card for the next cycle.

Make replenishment needs easier to act on

Replace unclear material signals with an RFID-enabled Kanban workflow. The approach suits repeat replenishment, line-side material supply and stock coordination between work areas. Teams can see what needs attention and follow the request through the agreed replenishment process.

Link the card to the replenishment workflow

An RFID Kanban card represents a defined material need. A card scan at the collection point can initiate the replenishment signal. The workflow then follows the agreed review, ordering, receipt and card-reuse stages. Card association, collection equipment and compatible handheld tasks are defined for the deployment.

  • Defined material needs and card association
  • Collection point scanning and signal capture
  • Agreed review, ordering, receipt and card-reuse stages
  • Collection equipment and compatible handheld tasks confirmed for the deployment

See request progress and review exceptions

Use browser-based views and reports to follow open replenishment requests and available inventory information. Route exceptions for review using agreed rules, so the responsible team can decide how a request should proceed.

  • Review replenishment progress and outstanding actions.
  • Use available stock and receipt information from agreed data sources.
  • Review exceptions and retain the outcome of the agreed review process.
  • Discuss a multiple-plant setup with the master data, access and interfaces each plant needs.

What we review with you

Share these details to help us define a practical project scope.

  • Current Kanban cards, material replenishment and inventory coordination.
  • Material identifiers, collection points and card association needs.
  • Review responsibilities, exception handling and ordering rules.
  • Status views, stock information and receipt data required.
  • ERP interfaces, including any SAP-related workflow to assess.
  • Plant structure, devices, hosting, network and support needs.

Agree automation and integration before deployment

ERP integration, including SAP-based workflows, can be discussed for your project. We review available interfaces and agree which material, stock, order and receipt information will be exchanged. Automatic purchase-order creation is a scoped function, not a standard inclusion in every deployment. Review rules, update timing and multiple-plant configuration must also be agreed; any plant-specific differences in business rules require review and agreed work.

Evaluate one replenishment loop

Start with representative materials and an agreed card workflow. Test normal replenishment, review exceptions, available inventory data, receipt handling and card reuse. Validate any ERP connection and ordering authorisation before extending the solution to more materials or plants.

Gain visibility across work areas

Give teams a clearer view of open requests, inventory information and exceptions across the agreed work areas. Available views and data feeds are confirmed for the project.

Frequently asked questions

Does every deployment create purchase orders automatically?

No. Automatic purchase-order creation must be agreed together with ordering authority, review rules and the ERP interface. Other replenishment workflows can be assessed for the project.

Can the solution integrate with SAP or another ERP?

ERP integration can be scoped, including assessment of SAP-based workflows. We confirm interface availability, data mappings, responsibilities and testing before committing to a connection. A ready-made connector is not assumed.

Can the solution support more than one plant?

A multiple-plant setup can be configured as part of the agreed scope. We review plant data, access, infrastructure and interfaces, and confirm any differences in operating rules.

Are inventory and replenishment updates continuous?

Update timing follows the card events and agreed data feeds. Views depend on the information made available by connected systems; continuous updates or complete inventory coverage are not assumed.

Are handheld devices and all workflow modules included?

The equipment, software modules and integrations are confirmed for the project. Discuss card association, stocktaking, collection points and handheld tasks so the required scope can be defined.
