Improving execution starts with visibility. At the Reconext Grapevine facility, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is being implemented in targeted areas to improve operational efficiency and data accuracy.
Improving Inventory Accuracy in the Warehouse
RFID is being introduced in the warehouse to support more accurate, less disruptive cycle counting.
Traditional inventory methods rely on manual scans and periodic full counts, which can interrupt daily operations. By identifying items using radio waves, RFID removes the need to physically scan each item, making inventory checks faster, easier, and more frequent.
This allows teams to:
- Reduce manual inventory effort
- Perform more frequent cycle counts
- Identify discrepancies sooner
- Resolve inventory issues faster
Over time, this supports stronger inventory control and more reliable planning.
Enabling Unit-Level Traceability in Production
In production, RFID is being integrated to enable unit-level tracking as products move through each stage of the process.
Each unit is assigned a unique RFID tag, creating a consistent data trail that improves traceability and visibility into production flow.
With more reliable data, teams can:
- Identify bottlenecks earlier
- Detect inefficiencies sooner
- Surface emerging quality trends
- Make data-driven adjustments with confidence
The focus is on earlier insight, not added complexity.
Laying the Groundwork for What Comes Next
Beyond immediate improvements, RFID at Grapevine establishes a foundation for future automation and analytics.
This is not tracking for its own sake. It is an investment in operational discipline that improves execution today and supports scalable, data-driven operations over time.
