We have been the trusted RFID consultant of the Swedish multinational for over 10 years.
Digitizing flows thanks to RFID and RTLS (Real Time Location Systems) technology. The world’s largest manufacturer of household appliances has relied on the skills of our Specialists and the experience of Gruppo Filippetti to continuously improve logistics processes.
Customer needs
- Innovate warehouse logistics with reliable technologies and customized solutions, without compromising the business ecosystem
- Automate and simplify inventory operations and overall warehouse management
- Obtain accurate, real-time data on goods, inventory and their location within the warehouse
The approach
Together with Gruppo Filippetti’s experts, we launched a feasibility study preparatory to the adoption of a Logistics 4.0 solution. After analyzing the client’s processes and needs, we identified the best performing technologies to digitize the flows, starting from the proprietary UWB infrastructure (Smart Network) powered by long-lasting batteries to collect field data and locate objects or people with extreme precision. We then identified the perfect RFID tags for each finished product, installed gates to monitor warehouse flows and verify the correct labeling of goods. And we equipped operators with handhelds and mobile APPs to manage operations more easily.
The information is sent to the software platform that allows logistics and process managers to obtain reports and insights useful for making strategic decisions.
Finally, Electrolux is considering an extension of the feasibility test to the digitization of inbound and outbound logistics.
