Renovotec launches fast-improvement manufacturing programme
Supply chain hardware, software and services company Renovotec is launching a âfast improvement manufacturing programmeâ designed to deploy those technologies that have the greatest impact on supply chain manufacturing, the company announced today. Renovotecâs latest move is a market response to its analysis of manufacturing user needs. Technology drivers for its fast improvement manufacturing programme include next-generation RFID (radio frequency identification), fixed industrial scanners and production line smart cameras.
âNext-generation RFID is cheaper to acquire and more flexible to deploy, while the latest generation of FIS fixed industrial scanners and MV machine vision smart cameras can track manufacturing assets and processes with great speed and accuracy, thanks to sensor technology and data analyticsâ says Renovotec CEO Richard Gilliard. âIn combination these technologies can enable productivity improvements of 30%.â
To help users deploy Renovotec will offer six months free support on FIS and MV products. Uniquely in its industry, Renovotec offers rental as well as purchase options on its chosen product portfolio. Gartnerâs worldwide user IT forecast for 2022 reveals a 5% drop in spending on devices, suggesting new potential for rental according to Renovotec.
By 2025, new generations of RFID and/or electronic tagging will feature as a core component in 20% of technology solutions deployed across supply chain networks, according to Gartner in its report: âAdopt Next-Gen RFID Tags to Transform Technology Deployments Across the Supply Chainâ.
In the 2020 Gartner âSupply Chain Technology User Wants and Needs Surveyâ 59% of respondents ranked RFID and other forms of electronic tagging techniques as âimportantâ. Gartner recommends that users should âadopt RFID as a viable technology optionâ.
