RFID Warehouse & Logistics Automation｜Smart Receiving and Shipping Solutions

With the increasing complexity and speed of global supply chains, warehouse operations face mounting pressure to deliver faster, more accurate shipments. Traditional manual processes often result in human errors during receiving or shipping, causing shipment delays, order disputes, and loss of trust. Digitizing these core processes through RFID has become essential for warehouse modernization.
 

 

 

Challenges

• Manual receiving prone to errors ：Workers manually scan or visually match products, leading to slow and error-prone operations.
• Order mismatch during shipping： Discrepancies between shipped and ordered items lead to returns and additional costs.
• No real-time inventory updates：Without automated feedback to backend systems, tracking and decision-making are delayed.
• Difficulty managing batch-level items：Products of the same SKU but different batches often get mixed up, impacting traceability.

 

RFID Automated Receiving and Shipping System

By integrating Pongee RFID modules and UHF readers with a warehouse management platform, the following workflow enhancements can be achieved:

1. Inbound Receiving:

    Products tagged with RFID labels are automatically detected by UHF readers at the entry point.Full-carton receiving data is uploaded to the system in real time.

2. Outbound Verification:

    During shipping, items pass through a UHF gate or fixed reader for automated order matching, preventing missing or incorrect shipments.

3. Real-Time Data Synchronization:

    The system connects with the WMS to enable real-time updates, inventory visibility, and operational transparency.

4. Batch and Lifecycle Management:

    RFID label data can include manufacturing dates, batch numbers, and expiry information, enabling tiered inventory control and precise stock management.


PK-UHF401U

The PK-UHF401U is a high-performance UHF RFID reader designed with advanced RF technology and an efficient signal-processing architecture.
It delivers fast and stable tag reading in dense-tag environments, making it especially suitable for warehouse and logistics applications such as inbound receiving, outbound verification, inventory counting, and material tracking.
This reader is also ideal for access control, anti-counterfeiting checks, and production flow monitoring.
