REAP Go-live!
After months of intensive development effort and training
courses for warehouse personnel, REAP's final phase went live in Toll's Clementi warehouse last November! This makes it the world's first 3PL-managed end-to-end RFID operations for the FMCG vertical.
REAP is a highly scalable RFID warehouse
execution system with comprehensive end-to-end warehousing process flows.
The core benefits of REAP are:
The core benefits of REAP are:
- Improved operational productivity
- Enhanced accuracy
- True real-time visibility
REAP system utilizes RFID
handheld readers, RFID-enabled lift trucks and RFID gantries. These devices interact with pallet and location tags to automate warehousing processes. REAP also communicates with a backend WMS system to update transactions and transmit instructions to users in real time. The system also utilises hybrid GPS-RFID technology to track in-transit deliveries.
An operations supervisor said: “Compared to the original
process, there has been significant improvement in process efficiency, with fewer errors being made. Also, REAP
provides real-time updates, which helps us to
manage the warehouse better.”
REAP has received positive feedback from our warehouse operators. Though REAP is a new technology to them, they are excited about using it: “We are excited that we are able to work with new technologies and are eager to learn new things.”
Additionally, operators appreciate the automation that REAP brings, with one remarking: "The best thing about the system is convenience; it makes tasks easier and more efficient."
The success of REAP is a cumulation of years of R&D effort. True to the spirit of R&D, the system will undergo continuous improvement and constant innovation, with brand new technologies such as tablet computing and NFC already being integrated and introduced to operations.
Stay tuned for more innovations by IdeaLab!
