Warehouse real-time inventory tracking
Benefits
This system is the best technology for industry 4.0, enabling real time asset tracking, accurate location and workflow digitalization.
Why real-time inventory visibility matters
Real-time inventory tracking changes that. By automatically capturing the location of items, cartons and pallets as they flow through the facility - using technologies such as RFID, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Ultra Wideband (UWB) - operations gain continuous, reliable visibility without line-of-sight scanning.
With a single, always-current view of inventory, warehouse and supply chain teams can reduce reconciliation effort, minimize exceptions, and improve fulfilment accuracy and customer service.
Challenges with traditional inventory processes
Manual counting delays decision-making
Time-consuming stock counts slow down shifts and delay stock updates - and inventory figures are often stale by the time they reach planning tools.
Errors from manual scans
Barcode scanning and manual logging depend on perfect execution. When someone misses a scan or mis-enters a code, inventory accuracy erodes.
Hidden costs of excess stock
Without real-time insight, teams hedge against uncertainty by carrying extra stock, increasing storage costs, capital tied up in inventory, and space inefficiencies.
Poor visibility in peak times
Peaks in demand or seasonal surges place extra strain on manual processes and can lead to fulfilment delays if stock isn’t visible when and where it’s needed

How RFiD Discovery’s solution transforms inventory operations
Automated stock reads
RFID, BLE or UWB readers automatically capture the presence and location of hundreds of items at once, without stopping workflows. This eliminates repetitive scanning tasks and delivers accurate data instantly.
Live dashboards and alerts
Operations teams can visualize stock across zones in real time, monitor flows, and receive alerts for unexpected movements or inventory discrepancies.
Seamless integration
Tracking data feeds directly into your warehouse management system (WMS) or ERP to keep your planning, fulfilment and reporting systems aligned with what’s happening on the floor.
Scalable tracking technologies
Whether you’re tracking carton-level stock indoors or pallets across outdoor yards, the hybrid mix of RFID, BLE and UWB ensures reliable tracking in diverse environments.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What types of assets can be tracked in a warehouse?
The solution supports tracking of individual items, boxes, pallets and returnable transport items across key warehouse zones.
Does the system work in both indoor and outdoor warehouse areas?
Yes. By combining technologies such as RFID, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ultra Wideband (UWB), the solution ensures reliable tracking across indoor spaces, yards and loading areas.
Is manual scanning required?
No. Inventory movements are captured automatically as stock moves through the warehouse, removing the need for barcode scanning or manual stock counts.
Can the solution integrate with existing warehouse systems?
The platform integrates with common warehouse management systems (WMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools to keep inventory data aligned across operations.
How complex is deployment?
Deployment can be adapted to operational needs, using fixed infrastructure or forklift-mounted readers to minimise installation effort and disruption to daily warehouse activities.
Is the solution scalable?
Yes. The system scales easily as warehouse volumes increase, additional zones are added or new sites are brought online.
