The inventory

The inventory adopts a similar management system both for blocks and for slabs. The operator activates the proper function on his handheld industrial computer, while passing near the blocks or the slabs and detects the presence of the slab and its position inside the stockyard. The UHF technology we have chosen allows remote distance reading of blocks and slabs tags with no need of “contact” reading (typical of the previous HF technologies) or of patient alignment between reader and tag typical of the bar code optical reading.

The Stockyard

The StoneID system proves its flexibility even in the slabs logistics management. If the changes in the slabs locations are managed simply by pressing a key on the handheld industrial computer, their location tracing is just as simple for the sales staff or the workers employed in loading operations. The creation of “geographic” areas inside the stockyards can be easily performed whatever is the size or the capacity of the stockyard. The whole management of the fiscal documents concerning sales as well as the management of “outsourced” processing operations can be greatly simplified through the integration of the StoneID system with the management information system.
