Item level identification & visibility

Coriel’s connected technologies gives you instant access to essential digital information, facilitating production on-demand.

Item level identification & visibility

When you combine consumable-level pricing of RFID tags with reliable long-range reading solutions, pervasive mobile data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and block chain, you can see why item level identification and visibility is becoming commonplace across a range of industries – and not just retail.

The Coriel item level identification & visibility solution has been developed based on years of experience and successful installations and now forms an integral part of most of the projects we undertake. At its most basic level, the solution provides a reliable way to read unique items quickly and reliably and then establish what the item is, where it’s been and more.

Why would you want to identify & track items?

Our item level ID and tracking solutions creates a powerful link between physical items and cloud-based data holding essential digital information on the item for instant access and facilitating on-demand production of items.

Accurate monitoring of current and historic location of items

Probably the most widely used and successful use case of item-level identification is to understand where a particular item is right now and maintain a transactional history of where it has been. Read about our partner Close Brothers who rely on our item-level identification solution to understand which customers currently have their returnable kegs and how many times they’ve been used.

Finding specific items when lost or amongst thousands of others

The need to locate specific items is a use case that we see all the time. Within the industrial sectors we specialise in, this requirement is usually linked to safety or warranty, both of which can have significant cost implications. We provide our item-identification solution into several applications within the rail industry, where reliably identifying a single faulty axle on a train, for example, can save days in lost productivity and potentially prevent catastrophic events down the line.

Streamlined, on-demand production of items

For modern production facilities, where the next item down the line is almost certainly unique, it’s critical to be able to identify them at item-level. Our item-level & visibility solution can provide operators with the essential information needed to facilitate a streamlined production process, including jobs that need to be completed, components that need to be fitted or bespoke options specified by the customer.

Where is this solution being used?

Why our customers choose us?

We specialise in helping our customers identify items that are typically difficult to find due to the material they are made from, the content held within the item, the environment they are used within or even their size and the speed at which they travel. The benefits of using RFID for item identification are now well understood, but the presence of metal, liquids, oils, dirt and grime can still present huge challenges to the reliable performance of systems – all areas that we have a huge amount of experience in.

Success Stories

Take a look at some of our client stories where we have eased some of the operational challenges they were facing. If you have a project that you would like to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact us.
