An inventory management automation system that visualizes the location of items using RFID.
RF Lucas has started offering "Locus Mapping," which allows for high-precision detection of the location of inventory and items with RFID tags through RFID signal analysis, since April 2020. It is already being used in warehouses, factories, and stores of major companies. "Locus Fork" is a system that integrates Locus Mapping with handheld reader scanning on forklifts. An external reader and antenna are installed on the forklift to read inventory during operations inside the warehouse. The collected data is analyzed using RF Lucas's signal location identification algorithm, and the inventory results reflecting real locations are displayed on the map. As a result, in manufacturing and logistics environments, tasks such as inventory counting, inbound and outbound management, and location management can be automated, leading to significant time and cost savings in inventory management operations, as well as the ability to obtain real-time inventory information, including location.

basic information
1) Inventory Management, Stocktaking, and Location Registration - Operate using a forklift while scanning inventory and items, reflecting the results of inventory management, stocktaking, and location registration in the system. - Capable of handling not only nestainers and shelves within the warehouse but also inventory and items placed on the floor. - Attach RFID tags (hereinafter referred to as location reference tags) to nestainers, shelves, and floors, read them along with the inventory and items, and analyze them using a location identification algorithm to link each inventory and item to the nearest location reference tag for location registration. - The display items and search conditions on the inventory search screen can be flexibly configured. - The forklift's onboard terminal screen highlights the current location of the forklift along with inventory information, including its whereabouts, on a digital map. 2) Digital Map Display - The locations of registered inventory and items, as well as the current position of the forklift, are highlighted on the digital map, making it visually easy to understand. - To set up the digital map, simply upload the floor plan of the warehouse, specify the sizes of nestainers, shelves, and flat areas for placement, and register the location reference tags. - Moving shelves, resizing, rotating, deleting, and changing shelf numbers is also easy.

Company information
We are developing Locus Mapping (an inventory and item management system that visualizes the location of items using RFID) and RFID production and process management systems, addressing labor shortages and improving productivity in retail, manufacturing, and logistics. RFID tags have become inexpensive, costing less than 10 yen each, and can read large quantities instantly, reducing the time required for inventory and shipping tasks by 80%. Previously, it was not possible to identify the location of scanned items, but our patented technology (radio wave phase analysis) enables the identification of the location of inventory and items, which can also be utilized for location management.
