The advantage of RFID is that it can automate all the data collection required to help you make the best use of your existing resources - including manpower, IT systems, and (most importantly) time. But you can make the most effective use of RFID when you use this real-time information to control and refine your process on-line.

One of the best ways of achieving this is to use a workflow and process control and automation software along with RFID, to give you a "closed loop feedback" system that allows you to adopt "continous improvement techniques" to squeeze even more productivity from your existing system.

ARIES provides out-of-the-box integration with both the Analytica Work++ workflow and process automation framework, as well as a number of back-end ERP systems. Now, with RFID, you can automatically get the most accurate production figures for each stage of your production process - automatically into your ERP or your Enterprise Information System - allowing you to make better, faster, and more accurate decisions.

If you have not yet implemented a process automation or ERP solution for your workshop or enterprise, or have implemented a solution that is not yielding the performance improvements that you expected or hoped for, RFID may be the right technology for you to leverage the highest productivity from your existing infrastructure.
