Waste Tracking

Making sure that the right container of scrap product from the exact production exit point goes to designated area for value recording is crucial for many manufacturers. With the various intensive manual labor stages of work-in-process, variances and production values are often inaccurate. With an RTLS system, manufacturers can get rid of this headache through automation.

The Value of RTLS in Production

Manufacturing companies have been turning to technology to assist them with their day-to-day operations. Newer technologies have allowed companies to automate daily tracking and monitoring procedures. Asset tracking can provide many benefits for manufacturers looking to track not only their assets, work in process, people, but also track scrap or waste to maximize yield.

The benefits of asset tracking can be limitless depending on the use case. In terms of tracking waste variance, an RTLS system like AirFinder can provide a huge boost in improving the process.
