RFID Asset Tracking Project at Lion Brewery PLC

Project Brief

Summary:

Cenmetrix has successfully implemented an RFID Asset Tracking Solution at the Lion Beer Factory located in Biyagama, Sri Lanka. The new solution has replaced the existing barcode asset tagging solution and has improved the asset verification and system audit processes. With the new RFID solution, the customer now needs to spend only a few days for asset verification of IT equipment and system audit compared to the three month time required for year-end stock count using the barcode system.

Background:

The Lion Beer Factory located in Biyagama was using a barcode asset tagging solution for asset tracking. However, the barcode system was time-consuming, and the customer had to spend more than three months to take the year-end stock count of the entire factory. The customer approached Cenmetrix to provide a solution that could improve the asset tracking process and reduce the time required for asset verification and system audit.

Solution:

Cenmetrix proposed an RFID Asset Tracking Solution that would replace the existing barcode asset tagging solution. The solution is being implemented in two phases. The first phase involves the IT Asset Tracking solution, and the second phase would include the completion of furniture & fittings. Cenmetrix supplies all the necessary hardware and software solutions for the customer.

Benefits:

The new RFID Asset Tracking Solution has several benefits compared to the barcode system. With the new solution, the customer now needs to spend only few days for asset verification and system audit, reducing the time required for year-end stock count significantly. The RFID system also provides real-time asset tracking, reducing the risk of asset loss and improving asset management. Additionally, the system is more accurate than the barcode system, reducing errors and improving the overall efficiency of asset tracking.
