RF technology tray management - rfidhy

The application of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in pallet management is an important trend in the development of the logistics industry towards intelligence and automation. The combination of RFID technology and pallets not only facilitates real-time tracking and management of the circulation and use of pallets themselves, such as leasing, recycling, maintenance, and storage, but also realizes visual monitoring of pallet loading. The application of this technology has greatly improved the level of automation of information collection in logistics management, ensured the safety of goods during transportation, improved logistics efficiency and reduced costs.

The main components of RFID technology include RFID tags, RFID readers and computer application systems. Each RFID tag has a unique electronic code, exchanges data with the reader through electromagnetic waves, and has intelligent reading and writing and encrypted communication functions. RFID technology has the advantages of contactless, large capacity, fast, high fault tolerance, anti-interference and corrosion resistance, safety and reliability, etc. It can flexibly adjust the identification distance and can read a large number of RFID electronic tags at the same time.

In supply chain management, the application of RFID pallets has many advantages. For example, in warehousing management, the use of RFID pallets can realize the rapid inventory and in-and-out management of goods, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of warehousing operations. In the transportation link, RFID pallets can help companies track the location and transportation status of goods in real time, and effectively monitor the safety and timeliness of goods. In addition, in the retail link, RFID pallets can quickly complete commodity settlement and inventory management, providing consumers with a more convenient shopping experience.

However, despite the many advantages of RFID pallets, they also face some challenges and problems in practical applications, such as relatively high costs, compatibility issues caused by the lack of unified RFID standards worldwide, and privacy protection issues.

In general, the application of RFID technology in pallet management has brought revolutionary changes to the logistics industry, improved efficiency and accuracy, but also brought some challenges. With the continuous advancement of technology and the reduction of costs, RFID technology is expected to be more widely used in the future.

When surgical trays were prepared for use in the operating room (OR), an RFID reader was used to automatically identify and record all the items that were contained in the tray. The trays were read at several more process points before entering the OR to make sure counts were accurate. Trays were read again before they left the OR after surgery to make sure no surgical instruments were missing and were read at the hospital’s central sterile processing department to document the sterilization process for each item.

RFID readers can simultaneously identify the 60 to 80 individual items that a surgical tray typically contains. Rigshospitalet previously identified and verified tray contents by barcode scanning.

“RFID UHF technology provides unparalleled speed and accuracy advantages compared to bar code and other RFID technologies for tracking surgical instruments in sterilization processes and operating rooms,” said Dr. Eriksen, “Rigshospitalet is characterized by a very high quality and a strong focus on patient safety, and our leadership in technology allows us to also realize the cost benefits of tracking medical devices and the workflow optimization associated with them.”

Rigshospitalet tested the “Tag, Track and Trace” (TTT) surgical instrument tracking system developed by Caretag Surgical, a global RFID solutions company headquartered in Copenhagen. Xerafy’s on metal RFID tags were attached to a variety of surgical instruments to support item-level tracking and traceability processes. Surgical supply vendors that participated in the trial attached the XS Dash tags to their products using permanent adhesive developed by Dana Lim A/S.

During the trial, Rigshospitalet learned that the small tags did not impact the balance of instruments or how surgeons used them. The high-quality tags withstood more than 1,000 autoclave sterilization processes, which most tags could not do because they cannot survive the temperatures, harsh chemicals, and pressure.

The trial was considered successful because it validated the business case for tracking medical devices at the item level and showed RFID could increase patient safety, improve the traceability and management of surgical instruments and reduce cost with better efficiency and productivity.

The trial also showed RFID tagging together with Caretag’s Tag, Track, and Trace system can save time enough time for hospitals to increase productivity. Approximately 75,000 surgeries are performed each year at Rigshospitalet, and Dr. Eriksen estimates the RFID system saves 31,000 hours at that volume.

The time savings documented above are specific for operating room processes and do not include additional time savings in sterile processing facilities and other inherent benefits from improved traceability, such as better infection prevention, improved patient safety, inventory savings, and reduced asset losses.
