RFID Solution: Vicaima Innovates With Creativesystems RFID Solution 5/18/2007

Interior doors pace space and time, allowing us to share spaces and preserve privacy, create movement. Vicaima is one of the first European players to understand this complex role. Its activity, since its foundation in 1959, consists of conceiving and producing doors that participate in the composition of the house, allying aesthetic, function and quality.

Combining the most advanced technologies to its “know-how” on wood, the brand conquered the most demanding professionals and became one of the European leaders in the interior doors market. This development was essentially obtained thanks to internationalization and continuous focus in Innovation through Research, Development and Design.

Following its innovative spirit, Vicaima implements a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) solution developed by Creativesystems for use on production and logistic control.

RFID technology is used on individual products transformed by Vicaima. All the products contain a tag or RFID label that is printed and codified at the production lines, allowing a bigger flexibility and efficiency at production control level, being integrated online with Vicaima ERP.

At the production lines the reading process is fully automatic allowing validation of all the products being produced resulting on enormous reduction of human intervention. In logistic terms, in a small period of time and without margin of error it’s possible to detect any product that is necessary to be moved between warehouses or deliver to clients.

Productivity grows and potential errors elimination are clearly the great benefits of this solution. On subsequent phases other logistic processes of Vicaima Group will be optimized, widening RFID technology advantages to the rest of the supply chain.
