Rush Tracking Systems Provides Live Demonstration of RFID enabled Manufacturing Supply Chain at RFID Journal LIVE 2011











VisiblEdge - simplifying and optimizing constrained warehouses


Kansas City, Kans. (Vocus/PRWEB) April 06, 2011

Rush Tracking Systems, a leading provider of advanced tracking solutions, software and services for manufacturing and warehouse operations, will showcase a live demonstration of innovative RFID solutions for manufacturing supply chain operations in Booth #802 at RFID Journal LIVE 2011 (Apr. 12-14, Orlando, FL).

Rush Tracking Systems along with key partners will provide a live warehousing and manufacturing operations demonstration live on the exhibit floor. This presentation will demonstrate multiple RFID data collection technologies including RFID handhelds, fixed portals and RFID enabled fork trucks integrated across several use cases to error proof and streamline operations and improve supply chain performance. "Attendees want more than marketing literature. We are excited to bring a live demo to RFID Journal Live where users can See, Touch and Interact with real-world solutions which we've been deploying for over 8 years to dozens of fortune 500 companies," states Toby Rush, President and CEO of Rush Tracking Systems. The demonstration will showcase how RFID can error proof and streamline the typical use cases found in industrial manufacturing, automotive, agribusiness, pulp & paper, oil & gas, food, and consumer packaged goods (CPG).

Rush Tracking Systems' VisiblEdge RFID enabled lift truck will be featured in the demonstration. VisiblEdge combines data collection devices, load detection sensors, and optical positioning with Rush Tracking Systems' newly released, "Orchestrator" software, to automatically capture and track the physical movements of lift truck fleets and the loads they move while providing fork lift operators an intuitive, interactive interface, simplifying and error proofing material movement processes.

VisiblEdge enables unprecedented real time visibility to the status and location of raw, WIP and finished goods inventory as well as the material handling assets that move them. The real-time, granular data supports improved operational control, improved inventory accuracy, enhanced LMS, improved shipping and receiving accuracy, improved operator productivity, streamlined material movements, reduced working capital and improved return on net assets.

Ideally suited for constrained manufacturing and warehouse environments, VisiblEdge supports business processes such as automated shipping and receiving, returnable container tracking, work-in-progress tracking, replenishment operations, and finished goods tracking. The solution can be installed on new or existing lift truck fleets.

To schedule a one-on-one demonstration at RFID Journal LIVE in the Rush Tracking Booth #802, call (913) 227-0922 or email sales@rushtrackingsystems.com.
