Rebroadcast of our popular past seminar! RFID, which allows for non-contact and instantaneous reading and writing, is well-known for its use cases by major apparel manufacturers. Many companies have likely considered implementing it at least once for operational efficiency. On the other hand, the reality is that there are still few examples of actual implementation due to a lack of knowledge, concerns about costs, or doubts about accuracy. At C.O.S., we utilize our self-developed system in the logistics operations of medical devices. In this seminar, we will introduce key points for utilizing RFID based on our specific examples. We will also share our perspective on common negative opinions. 【Recommended for the following people】 • Those interested in utilizing RFID for digital transformation and want to implement it but are unsure if it suits their company • Those feeling challenges in the logistics of medical device sales • Those wanting to integrate core systems and business systems • Those who feel the need for centralization of detailed information and traceability management • Those engaged in complex logistics operations and wanting to improve efficiency • Those handling reverse logistics such as returns and wanting to make improvements.

The "Work Style Reform Related Law" concerning the logistics 2024 issue has finally been tightened. In addition to the ongoing industry-wide challenges of labor shortages and rising logistics costs, there are growing concerns about the possibility of "not being able to transport goods," leading to an increased awareness that logistics issues are management issues. One solution that can lead to resolution is the service called [iGOQ], which matches available time and space to enhance efficiency and profitability. ■ SBS Logicom, which provides the service, will also present and explain how they have worked to achieve a system that is "intuitive and easy for anyone to use" and "addresses every need." ■ From the development team at C.O.S., key points for the project's success will be shared. 【Recommended for the following individuals】 ◇ Those who want to promote DX further but have a vague policy. ◇ Those who have ideas for solving logistics issues but have not been able to realize them. ◇ Shippers who have urgent deliveries but sometimes cannot find a service provider. ◇ Transportation companies that feel they want to accept deliveries at a fair price. ◇ Transportation companies that feel they are not effectively utilizing returning or empty vehicles.

Maximizing the Return on Investment for Logistics Systems, Material Handling, and Robots As the awareness that logistics challenges equate to management challenges increases, there is a demand for the efficiency of insufficient logistics resources. In the investment in material handling and robots that contribute to this efficiency, there are challenges in both implementation and operation. To address these challenges, the Warehouse Execution System (WES) is beginning to be expected. However, our company believes that "simply implementing WES does not necessarily yield the intended productivity improvement effects." This time, we will focus on WES and discuss how to proceed with its implementation and operation from various perspectives to maximize the return on investment for logistics resources. [Recommended for those who:] - Want to know what WES is and do not understand the difference from WMS. - Want to automate and improve productivity alongside new warehouse construction or relocation but do not know how to proceed. - Are concerned about whether the effects will match the investment amount after introducing material handling equipment. - Are incurring increasing system modification costs every time new material handling equipment is introduced. - Are experiencing difficulties in the integration of multiple material handling devices, resulting in no effects.
