Checkpoint Systems’ DC Solutions Help Retailers Verify Merchandise Within Bulk Shipments

Checkpoint Systems announced two new distribution center (DC) solutions that enable retailers and manufacturers to be more productive and improve shipping accuracy: RFID Box Tunnel and RFID Hanging Garment Tunnel.
 
The DC solutions enable retailers to increase revenue and performance by verifying items within each bulk shipment are accurate. Any errors can be instantly identified and triaged. Valid shipments generate automatic advanced shipping notification and are sent for delivery. Once received at the intended retail location, using a simple RFID handheld scanner or RFID reader, associates can instantly and accurately verify shipments and ensure authenticity as boxes are unloaded from the delivery vehicle.
 
These latest hardware solutions are available in multiple sizes to accommodate standard conveyor systems and require minimal modifications. The tunnels are constructed of durable, fabricated metal, and are insulated for sound and RF shielding to eliminate both noise and stray RFID tag reads.
   
RFID Box Tunnel
The RFID Box Tunnel was designed for totes, cartons and boxes in any DC environment and does not impact existing production performance. It is offered in two sizes to accommodate most standard conveyor systems. This tunnel offers a read capacity of 200 items per box, at a maximum conveyor speed of 240 feet per minute, and a minimum distance of three feet between boxes at a tested 99.9% read accuracy, when combined with the OATFoundation Suite.
 
RFID Hanging Garment Tunnel
The RFID Hanging Garment Tunnel was designed for hanging goods and, like the RFID Box version, works in any DC environment, doesn’t impact production performance and is offered in two sizes. This tunnel offers a read capacity of 450 items per bundle at a speed of 90 feet per minute, and a minimum distance of two feet between bundles at a tested 99.9% read accuracy, when combined with OATFoundation Suite.
