100% Safety – of your Assets and your Customers

Layered gas chambers are generally utilized as a part of the distinctive businesses for a mixed bag of operations. Transportation of packed and condensed gasses are conceivably dangerous as they are combustible and a spillage can prompt a blast in a vehicle.

To keep up and keep on improving the current security record for the utilization of these barrels, TRAKAID has thought of the progressed engineering – Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). TRAKAID RFID empowered brilliant following engineering uses an RFID peruser (radio sign initiator and recipient) that listens to signs sent back from RFID Passive labels. At the point when the trigger on the RFID peruser is pulled, the tag is perused and gives a one of a kind recognizable proof code. This makes it conceivable to catch the information of an advantage.

At the point when the barrel is dropped at the client, the conveyance individual peruses the chamber tag, to kill the difficulties of blended burden conveyance. You and client are ensured that the chamber number was conveyed or grabbed.

We have issued a set of tried and demonstrated rules to help our customers deal with their inventories in a finer manner. The accompanying gives some viable direction on the safe taking care of and putting away of compacted gas chambers:

Correctness – Trust your information.

Traceability – Know the What, Where, When, Why and How of your barrels.

Security – Focus on Patient, Customer and User Safety – Single greatest test.

Versatility – Actionable information at the purpose of utilization.

Advancement – Processes that exploit new innovation.

Stakes – Analyze holdings and apply controls to oversee them.

Execution – Fully upheld strong framework that gives you a chance to concentrate.

RFID Enabled Asset Management Drives Profitability

At the point when mechanical gas organizations can’t place chambers that are utilized as the fundamental supply strategy to supply modern gasses to their clients, the cost is more than simply burden. Time used hunting down stakes harms profit and decreases benefit. The failure to track gear area, utilization, administration and upkeep records cause organizations to lose cash.

RFID empowered keen following can make it straightforward and helpful to assemble and oversee stake data in an opportune and effective way. It can record holding developments naturally and give constant information to possession administration applications. For stake administration to be compelling, organizations need to make and use predictable techniques to record changes in possession area, condition, and accessibility. RFID improves the recording process and aides guarantee the section of exact data.

RFID is far reaching and incorporates all aspects of business including generation, logistics, and dispersion and gives a conservative and productive approach to keep possession area and status information avant-garde. This enhances the pivot of returnable possessions and stays away from the loss of barrels, prompting a manageable change in benefit.

RFID Technology for Long Term Benefits

Often, the short-term impact of new technologies is overestimated and the long-term impact is grossly underestimated by businesses. Driven by RFID mandates on the one hand and new, upcoming manufacturing processes for RFID tags on the other, the short term may well give way to the long term much sooner than anyone would have anticipated.

Corporations undoubtedly are being exposed to supply and demand pressure to embrace the technological and business process opportunities that now appear modest – supply chain enhancements, preventive maintenance, authenticated pill bottles. But these opportunities promise to expand in scope at an unimaginable pace with the right technology in place. What may now seem a tedious manual affair has the potential for absolute automatism once the implementation of RFID technology is in full swing.

In the long term, the virtuous circles formed by the linkage of RFID to other advancements in IT (especially the process integration abilities promised by web services and a service-oriented architecture) will spawn new applications that have not even begun to percolate in their inventors’ minds. Thus prudent business owners today consider RFID to be a long term investment, duly overlooking its short term impact.

If there is one thing, though, that research has made clear, it is that only those RFID applications designed with the consumer firmly in mind will survive. These are applications that drive value for consumers while continually reassuring them that this value absolutely outweighs any concerns. The long term success of RFID based applications undoubtedly depends on widespread adoption by consumers who are eager for the promised benefits.

Do you still play musical chairs at the receiving dock?

Victor Hugo, a French playwright, once said “there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come”. In the case of the CyTrack Cylinder Tracking System, the idea of a single intake screen has not only arrived – it has been proven to be a big time saver in actual use.

When you get a delivery with multi-party cylinder returns, you should consider cost savings and operational improvements available using a single intake screen. For example, you do not have to separate the cylinder return from each party into separate physical lots, and then compare the cylinders against the party gate pass, and issue an inward delivery receipt.

Using our single intake screen the user enters the cylinder number as it is offloaded from the truck. At the same time, the system lets you mark the cylinder for physical damage and shows you if the cylinder has a test due. The CyTrack system knows who the cylinder was issued to and the system creates multiple receipt jobs for you. The user may then go to each job, confirm and post the job. If you have marked the cylinder for service or test, the system creates a service job for you.

CyTrack cylinder tracking system has all of these capabilities and more. Over the span of four years, CyTrack has introduced dozens of best practices from customer feedback.
