At a certain company, when receiving materials from vendors, they manually input various styles of product labels and delivery notes from each company (including imported goods) into their inventory system. They also attach their own labels for internal process management, but there have been instances of code input errors and, in particular, mistakes in attaching alternative products and materials. Therefore, we introduced our AI × RPA product. As a result, by pre-training on different labels for each vendor and material type, the system can automatically recognize them even when the format changes. [Effects] - Photos can be taken with handheld terminals or tablets and converted into data, with result history retained. - By pre-training on different labels for each vendor and material type, the system can automatically recognize them even when the format changes. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the major home appliance company S, inventory management for tens of thousands of home appliance products and detailed optional items (rental items) was conducted using barcodes, which took a considerable amount of time during inventory withdrawals. Therefore, we introduced our RFID × U-Mate products. As a result, the time taken to identify inventory items and register withdrawal records during the withdrawal process was reduced from about 30 minutes to just a few minutes, allowing for a much quicker operation. [Case Study] <Implementation Effects> ■ The labor required for inventory work was significantly reduced (2 people per day) 　→ Multiple readings can be done simultaneously up to about 5 meters ■ Can share with existing labels (related functions during storage) 　→ RF tags can be associated at the same time as storage ■ RF tags can be reused (U-Mate function) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
