ケーウェイズ Company Profile

Shine brightly and explore easily! The LED tag can be illuminated for visual exploration. The search functionality of the RFID tag has significantly improved. By using a battery-free LED tag, it is now easy to locate items and documents (such as files and medical records). We offer a set that includes the LED tag, a handheld reader/writer, and exploration software.

In the acceptance of parts, raw materials, and work-in-progress at the manufacturing plant, each item has a label from its respective supplier attached to it, which does not match our own management codes. Therefore, it is necessary to replace these with our own labels upon arrival. If we could have our standardized company labels applied at the time of shipment from multiple suppliers, it would significantly reduce the labor involved during the acceptance process. Disadvantages of operating with traditional supplier QR code labels: (1) The information on the item labels varies by supplier. (2) Various tasks arise during acceptance, such as issuing our own labels, replacing them, and entering records. (3) Scanning QR codes requires additional labor. Advantages of operating with standardized supplier RFID code labels: (1) Suppliers issue and attach standardized labels, reducing the labor required for issuing and replacing labels in-house. (2) RFID allows for automatic reading at the receiving gate. (3) Incoming records are sent to the center via the cloud.

The management of QR codes on pallets in logistics warehouses has become common. However, there are many issues where labels get dirty or damaged, making QR codes unreadable. Once a problem occurs, it requires contacting the center to request the reissuance of RFID tags linked to the labels, transporting them to the warehouse, and replacing the labels and tags, which is cumbersome. This case addresses such a complicated flow with a mobile printer. Benefits of implementing an app for reissuing QR code labels for logistics pallets: (1) The costly reissuance of RFID tags becomes unnecessary. (2) There is no need for communication with the center, allowing problems to be resolved on-site. (3) The time required for label issuance is reduced, improving work efficiency.
