Throttleman Receives ‘Best Enterprise Solution’ Award

Integrating an RFID infrastructure has enabled Throttleman to increase the efficiency of its distribution center by 60 percent and ensures that stock is quickly and accurately routed to the appropriate stores. Affixed with Avery Dennison RFID labels, items are shipped from Throttleman’s manufacturing plant in India to their distribution center in Portugal. Upon arrival, TAGSYS’ UHF RFID tunnel identifies and counts the content of each box with scan rates of up to 18,000 articles per hour. Comparing the list of scanned items to the packing slip, TAGSYS’ UHF RFID tunnel automatically identifies discrepancies and generates an alert to check content. This reduces the amount of time items remain in Throttleman’s distribution center from 4.9 days to less than 24 hours, thereby quickly and accurately replenishing a store’s inventory.
