Aviation
RAMP has been providing innovative and effective RFID baggage management solutions to the aviation industry for over 10 years. Our solutions are fully compliant with IATA 753.
Our solution ensures that customer luggage arrives on time, exactly where it needs to be. We provide visibility for airline customers, meaning they know where their bags are, which increases confidence in the airline and overall customer experience.
The RAMP baggage solution was born out of a need identified by QANTAS to create permanent bag tags for their Frequent Flyer program and is now successfully deployed nationwide.
Food & Beverage
RFID solutions can be implemented in food supply and agriculture to improve efficiency and increase visibility throughout the entire supply chain.
Retailers, hospitality service providers and consumers are demanding to understand provenance and proof of compliance in agriculture and food, to confirm ethical sourcing and sustainability.
There are many benefits to utilising an RFID solution in your food supply chain including confirmation of provenance, reduced wastage, simplified stock rotation, fast recall management and reduced labour costs.
Automotive
RAMP has developed a comprehensive RFID Vehicle Tracking solution to help car dealerships improve customer service while reducing costs. With multi-site networks or large single sites, car dealerships can struggle to effectively and efficiently track their vehicles.
Using RFID technology, RAMP has developed a tailored, cost-effective solution that can be implemented quickly with immediate return on investment.
Our automotive solution delivers many benefits including improved product availability, visibility and customer service, with decreased labour costs, manual tasks and inventory holdings.
Goverment & Education
With a focus on reducing costs and streamlining operations, as well as a responsibility to be accountable for management of large numbers of items and equipment, RAMP can help government and education institutions increase operational efficiencies and reduce costs.
RFID technology can be implemented quickly and cost-effectively to increase visibility of many kinds of assets, large and small. This ensures more accuracy in audits and increased compliance. In addition, you will benefit from a significant reduction in costs with more automated operational processes and less labour-intensive activities.
Real-time access to accurate information about the status and whereabouts of institutional assets ensures better and faster decision-making, increased accountability, reduced costs and overall increases in operational efficiency..
Arts
RAMP RFID solutions are used in museums, galleries and the performing arts to get complete visibility of valuable artefacts and items such as costumes and other equipment. Manual processes to track thousands of valuable items requires a significant investment of human resources and labour, and is often prone to error.
RFID tags and strategically placed static readers help track the movement of art, sculptures and other items throughout buildings.
The benefits of using RFID asset tracking include faster and more accurate audits, reduced risk of loss from movement, significant reduction in labour costs, greater visibility and easily accessible information.
Healthcare
The management of medical equipment inventory is crucial for the efficient running of hospitals. RFID technology solutions can help track equipment and disposable materials from the warehouse to the operating theatre.
Items used in a procedure can be traced and charged directly to a patient. And patient safety is enhanced through total procedure tracking. Hospitals can carry less inventory, be more efficient and have less risk of products expiring.
Most importantly, less storage space is needed in hospitals so more space can be allocated to patient care. And nurses spend less time on administration and inventory management and more time on patient care.
Commercial Laundries
Tracking large amounts of inventory and assets in a fast-moving commercial laundry environment can be extremely difficult. Without the ability to know what is on-hand and where it is, the risk of losses is increased.
RFID solutions can be used to great effect in large-scale commercial laundries. Consider linen management, with thousands of items such as bedsheets, towels, robes, blankets and staff uniforms.
Tracking the movement and status of these kinds of items is made easy with RFID. Complete visibility of where items are can be provided automatically, without the cost of labour-intensive asset management. The result is reduced losses, increased operational efficiency and the ability to deploy resources to where they can be used to greatest effect – in providing a great customer experience.
Manufacturing
The adoption of RAMP RFID solutions can help manufacturers reduce costs and optimise their operations. Further, when integrated across the entire supply chain, RFID ensures complete visibility of manufactured goods from the factory floor to the shop floor or end user.
RFID technology has improved remarkably to work more effectively in manufacturing environments. The ability to withstand extreme heat and cold, high pressures, hazardous locations and high moisture levels ensures a robust tracking solution no matter the environment.67
Manufacturers can use RFID to track inventory through the entire production process, track and monitor equipment, schedule production by identifying idle equipment, monitor waste and shrinkage and routing shipments.
With greater visibility of the entire production process and inputs, manufacturers can reduce costs and increase operational efficiency to improve the bottom line.
