Avaliação do uso de etiquetas RFID para identificação e gestão de estoque de bobinas em uma indústria de autoadesivos

Abstract

One of the biggest challenges for industries as a whole is to automate their processes in order to maximize their profits and solve possible production bottlenecks. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is one of the technologies currently gaining momentum in the market for the automatic identification of materials using radiofrequencies, driving the automation of material handling processes, inventories, the search for products in stock and the reduction of production lead times. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the implementation of RFID tags for coil stock management in an auto-adhesive industry. In order for the study and its objectives to be met, it was necessary to study and describe the company's coil stock management; to study and define the advantages of implementing RFID tags; to investigate the costs required for implementation; and to comparatively analyze the costs of implementation in relation to the qualitative or quantitative return on the process. The methodology used required all the research into the specific objectives to be completed. In terms of the results obtained, the full implementation of the technology tends to be carried out since the analysis of its implementation was successful, with a return on investment in approximately 3 years, and savings of approximately R$ 191,562.70 per year from this period onwards.
