1 RFID technology

RFID stands for radio frequency identification, and it is a technology that uses electromagnetic fields to identify and track tags attached to objects. RFID tags can store information such as product name, serial number, location, and status. By using RFID readers, you can scan and monitor your inventory in real time, without having to manually count or label items. This can help you reduce errors, waste, and theft, as well as improve visibility and traceability of your inventory.

RFID readers assist in the tracking of inventory from port to port and warehouse to shelf. Love this tech in the Army and would live to see it in my current role an Inventory Coordinator at a major hospital. The ability to see in real time where stock is and when it will get to my dock would be great.

2 IoT devices

IoT stands for internet of things, and it is a network of connected devices that can collect and exchange data. IoT devices can include sensors, cameras, smart meters, and actuators, among others. By using IoT devices, you can gather and analyze data from your plant equipment, machines, and environment, and use it to optimize your production processes, reduce energy consumption, and prevent downtime. For example, you can use IoT devices to monitor temperature, humidity, vibration, and pressure, and adjust them accordingly to improve quality and efficiency.

An IoT device is a tool. This tool generates data, in order to extract the true value of an IoT device one must analyze and use the data to its maximum potential. One of the not talked about challenges is how to deploy fleets of IoT devices. This is inherently difficult and requires lots of planning and installation execution usually involving a few different technologies. IoT devices can give companies some massive advantages but without put proper processes and use cases for the use of the data, any future potential is simply wasted.

In today’s highly competitive landscape, it is imperative for companies to gain a competitive edge by integrating cargo security and asset monitoring via the Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices. IOT devices are reshaping transportation, security, asset tracking, and monitoring across all industries as it enables real-time vehicle tracking, smart transportation systems, and improved fuel efficiency. In security, IoT safeguards assets and optimizes workflows. However, the ability to effectively select, deploy, and optimize these solutions requires practical experience. Therefore, partnering with established supply chain leaders in this sector is a necessity.

3 ERP software

ERP stands for enterprise resource planning, and it is a software system that integrates various business functions, such as accounting, purchasing, sales, and inventory management. By using ERP software, you can automate and streamline your workflows, reduce paperwork, and improve collaboration and communication across your plant. For example, you can use ERP software to plan and schedule your production orders, manage your suppliers and customers, and generate reports and forecasts.

4 AI and machine learning

AI stands for artificial intelligence, and it is a branch of computer science that aims to create machines and systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Machine learning is a subset of AI that enables machines to learn from data and improve their performance. By using AI and machine learning, you can enhance your decision making, problem solving, and innovation capabilities. For example, you can use AI and machine learning to detect anomalies, predict demand, optimize inventory levels, and recommend actions.

5 Cloud computing

Cloud computing is a service that allows you to access and store data and applications over the internet, rather than on your own servers or devices. By using cloud computing, you can reduce your IT costs, increase your scalability and flexibility, and improve your security and reliability. For example, you can use cloud computing to backup your data, access your ERP software from any device, and share information with your stakeholders.

These are some of the ways that technology can help you reduce costs and improve inventory control in your plant engineering projects. By adopting these technologies, you can increase your productivity, profitability, and competitiveness in the market.
