How AIDC solution is needed for Modern Factory?
In today's increasingly intense competition, the factories are under pressure to reduce costs, improve efficiency and competitiveness. However, many operations still rely on manual process, paper records and delayed reporting.
AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) is the smart technologies that transform manual operations into real-time, data driven process.
Related technologies include barcode systems, mobile computers, industrial printers, RFID systems, and inventory software/ERP integration.
Barcode System: Suitable for factories that want to start systematically controlling inventory and not huge number of SKUs.
- Reduces errors from data entry
- Increases the speed of receiving and issuing
- Low investment, quick return on investment.
RFID System: Suitable for organizations that require high accuracy and have a large number of SKUs. There is a budget available for investment.
- Read multiple data points simultaneously
- No need to directly see tags
- Reduce inventory counting time from days to hours or minutes
- Provides height accuracy

Which Date Coding Technology… Is Right for Your Production Line
Printing Manufacturing Date (MFG), Expiry Date (EXP), Lot No., and Batch No. may seem like just a small step in the production line, but this information is important for both product quality, Traceability, and the efficiency of the production process.

Small problems in warehouse management create more costs than you think.
These questions may seem like common problems, but for warehouses with a large number of SKUs, these issues can affect time, cost, and the efficiency of delivering goods to customers. The real problem may not be a lack of stock, but rather that the warehouse doesn't have a clear picture of what product → how much → where → which lot → and what its status is.
