RedPrairie Integrates Inventory and Asset Management to Improve Distribution Efficiency

Logistics Insight Asia - Technology & Market Trends, 25/8/2008

RFID and other AIDC technologies track inventory and assets from manufacturing to the store shelf.

RedPrairie Corporation has integrated the extensive asset management capabilities of its standalone Mobile Resource Management product into its Warehouse Management system. The integration of the asset tracking and management capabilities is one of several enhancements within the new release of RedPrairie’s Supply Chain Execution suite, designed to unify supply chain processes.

The system supports the use of RFID, 2-D barcodes and other AIDC technologies to track inventory and assets within the distribution center, as well as outside of it, such as in trailer yards, in-transit, at customer sites, or even within a retailer’s store network. Both serialized and non-serialized assets can be tracked at each location.

The enhanced system also allows the ability to maintain the condition and status of each asset, as well as movement to and from suppliers and repair depots.

The new release of RedPrairie’s E2e Supply Chain Execution suite is available as of July 31.
