Business Continuity Without Network Dependency with RFgen’s Solutions
Meet the Authors
Key Takeaways
⇨ In warehouse and manufacturing environments, network coverage consistently exhibits variability, with numerous instances of weak or completely absent signal zones for mobile solutions for supply chain activities.
⇨ Such disruptions can cause inventory discrepancies like stockouts or overstock, each adding substantial financial burdens to the organization.
⇨ RFgen offers highly flexible offline solutions to ensure seamless continuity through Always Connected mode (real-time work direction and validation from ERP) and Casually Connected mode (i.e offline, near real-time work direction and validation from a local subset of ERP information).
In today’s interconnected business environment, dependable Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity is essential, yet it presents a substantial challenge within the warehouse and manufacturing sectors. These facilities frequently encounter inconsistent network coverage, marked by areas where signal strength is either weak or entirely absent. This variability significantly disrupts the utilization of mobile solutions critical for efficient supply chain management. The resulting unstable connectivity not only leads to frequent disconnections and inadequate signal strength, compelling workers to seek areas with better network coverage, but also creates gaps in digital record-keeping. Such disruptions can escalate into considerable financial repercussions, stemming from the need to duplicate data entry efforts, delayed transactions, and resultant inventory discrepancies. To address these connectivity challenges, RFgen provides robust offline solutions through its Always Connected and Casually Connected modes. These modes ensure operational continuity by facilitating data collection even when the ERP system is offline, offering a scalable and adaptable approach to maintaining business continuity in scenarios where network connectivity is compromised.
