RFID technology is a foundation for customers to gain expanded visibility into their supply chain and is a cornerstone of SSA Global's Supply Chain Management (SCM) solution. SSA Global's RFID offerings will help manufacturers and distributors increase their material handling productivity to more effectively manage and track the movement of materials. As a result, customers can meet compliance mandates as well as enhance their competitive advantage with a quicker return on investment. SSA RFID for Distribution is the first of several RFID solutions for warehouse management and manufacturing.
“SSA can call upon its background in warehousing, transportation and manufacturing to leverage RFID across its portfolio of applications.”
"There are areas where RFID fits well today and where value is reasonable including asset tracking, palette license plates, and security," said Dwight Klappich, vice president at META Group, a leading provider of IT research, advisory services and strategic consulting. "SSA can call upon its background in warehousing, transportation and manufacturing to leverage RFID across its portfolio of applications."
SSA Global's early adopter customers are already realizing benefits from SSA RFID via their ability to determine the exact location of inventory and shipments in the supply chain. Among them is DC Logistics, a company piloting SSA RFID for Distribution at their RFID Deployment Center in Dallas. The Center's goal is to enable customer compliance with shipping into Wal-Mart's RFID Pilot Distribution Centers in the North Texas area. These services will expand to facilitate adherence to future RFID mandates from Wal-Mart, the DoD and others. Additional capabilities will include tagging, cross-docking and consolidation services, making this the first full-function facility.
"SSA Global is committed to helping us meet industry compliance mandates and extending the value of our existing enterprise investments with RFID," said Douglas Chaney, president, DC Logistics, Inc. "We found the automatic collection and analysis of data through SSA RFID for Distribution invaluable to our successful development of the RFID Deployment Center. Our ongoing relationship with SSA Global has resulted in a solution that improves current processes and delivers immediate value."
SSA RFID for Distribution is built to meet the industrial needs of consumer goods and direct store delivery companies. In collaboration with several leading partners, including IBM, Sun Microsystems, R4 Global Services and SIS Technologies, Inc., SSA Global is building solutions to maximize the full potential of RFID.
