IN WAREHOUSE, BOXES NO LONGER NEED TO BE OPENED FOR GOODS RECEIVING PURPOSES. HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT ALL ITEMS WERE REALLY READ IF WE CANNOT SEE THEM?

Typically, there is some knowledge of what should be inside of a box. For instance, a packing list, EDI notice or a corresponding order. In order to be 100% sure that all items were really recognized it would be advisable to refer to the original document – typically this would be called an “expect list”. The RFID reader would have an expect list against which it will verify the content of the box.

Advice by us: when having several boxes delivered a day, it is impossible to say which box has been read, especially when they are stacked in a pile. A printed barcode on the side of each box will help the staff operating the units inform the backend system which individual boxes to read. The box can be identified and the content will be scanned against an expect list. Thus the mobile reader might read items from adjoining boxes but ignores those, as they are not on the expect list. This is not a must, but speeds things up further.
