TranRFID – RFID Automated Solutions for SAP S/4HANA

In today’s fast-paced logistics and supply chain industry, businesses are increasingly relying on advanced technologies to streamline operations. One such technology is TranRFID, offered by BCC Distribution, which provides automated data collection solutions for optimizing inventory traceability in SAP ERP applications. By integrating TranRFID into inventory workflow, companies can automate inventory data collection, validation, and warehouse management, improving overall business efficiency. 

TranRFID enables seamless data integration with SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC applications, allowing businesses to maximize the efficiency of their SAP-based warehouse and inventory systems. It facilitates RFID automation for SAP software, enabling real-time tracking, automated inventory and/or asset movements, and data collection. With RFID technology, companies can enhance inventory and warehouse management, significantly improving team productivity.

TranRFID is designed to be used with today’s SAP business applications. TranRFID can be leveraged with SAP S/4HANA, Suite on Hana, and SAP ECC 6.0, as well as with SAP Inventory Management (IM), Warehouse Management (WM), SAP Stock Room Management, and SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).

To achieve RFID automation for SAP cloud, on-premise, or hybrid software applications, businesses need certified RFID software, certified RFID equipment, and expert RFID technical professional services. Zebra handheld RFID readers offer mobile scanning capabilities, enabling maximum mobility and data visibility during inventory and warehouse operations. Zebra and Honeywell fixed RFID readers continuously monitor and track labels from a fixed location, providing real-time inventory visibility. RFID portal systems serve as gateways or checkpoints where data is gathered, optimizing inventory management and data visibility.

RFID Automation for SAP: What You Need

There are several RFID equipment options that a business may leverage for RFID label generation, RFID automation, and RFID data integration with SAP: RFID label and tag printers, handheld RFID readers, fixed RFID readers, and/or RFID portal systems, depending on the RFID strategy.

Handheld RFID Readers

Handheld RFID readers offer mobile scanning and RFID decoding capabilities, ideal for inventory and warehouse operations. These readers can help users find materials throughout the warehouse and perform cycle counts (either by document or ad hoc), allowing teams to achieve maximum mobility and data visibility even during high demand. Here, RFID automation enabled by TranRFID improves efficiency and working productivity. 

Fixed RFID Readers

Fixed RFID readers facilitate autonomous RFID automation for SAP applications, as they support continual monitoring and tracking of RFID labels from one spot, forming a material tracking checkpoint. Fixed RFID readers achieve maximum, real-time inventory visibility, allowing teams to realize real-time and accurate inventory and asset management. These stationary RFID readers provide maximal insight into asset, inventory, or material movements, critical for accurate inventory and warehouse data integration with SAP S/4HANA.

RFID Portal Systems

RFID portal systems serve as a gate or checkpoint where companies gather data about material movements, direction of flow, and essential tracking metrics. These checkpoints automatically monitor inventory data, contributing to improved cost control and optimize workflows with real-time automated updates in the SAP system. These portal systems are particularly efficient for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing environments as they streamline inventory management and data visibility. The outbound picking process: picking, packing, loading, and shipping for an outbound delivery, is one example of successful process improvement realization with the TranRFID solution.

RFID Printers / RFID Encoders

Your RFID solution depends on SAP-driven data that’s been successfully commissioned (printed, encoded and verified) in a readable RFID label or tag. BCC Distribution supports RFID printing via the industry’s widest range of RFID printers from Zebra Technologies and Honeywell. Using BCC Distribution’s QuickPrint, you can accurately print and encode RFID labels or RFID tags directly from your SAP software, where and when you need them.

SAP EWM & RFID Automation with TranRFID

SAP Extended Warehouse Management leverages more features and more advanced functionality than traditional SAP Warehouse Management and SAP Stock Room Management. TranRFID supports increased transactional automation to meet the demands of EWM, by offering automation benefits with its inherent RFID data generation, collection, and validation features. Here are just some of the many benefits of TranRFID:

  • Automatically read tagged products, pallets, or assets as they move, improving workflow accuracy.
  • Reduce the need for human intervention and manual scanning at common chokepoints.
  • Improve inventory visibility, accuracy, and pinpoint locations of tagged products.
  • Increase productivity from the plant floor to the finished product warehouse.
  • Scalable by inventory function, SAP transaction, and site deployment.
  • Fast Return on Investment (ROI).
  • Purpose-built for SAP IM, WM, Stock Room Management, and EWM business applications.
  • Rapid implementation, to include system testing, training, and support.
  • Directly integrates with SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC software environments.
  • Complements existing RF barcode scanning systems for increased inventory automation.

TranRFID for SAP S/4HANA integrates RFID portals, RFID readers and antennas, along with applicable sensors to communicate with the BCCD RFID Service, and then to REST API’s of the TranRFID SAP Interface. This turn-key RFID solution approach for SAP S/4HANA is a reliable and light architecture, facilitating fast processing, accurate data filtering, and improved system visibility.

TranRFID: RFID for SAP S/4HANA

With TranRFID for SAP IM, WM, Stock Room Management, or EWM, businesses can revolutionize their warehouse management and materials traceability processes by automatically reading tagged inventory and tracking movements in real-time. Doing so increases workflow accuracy while also improving productivity.

Barcode Scanning with SAP S/4HANA

SAP S/4HANA is the leading choice for companies looking to streamline both inventory transactions and the architecture needed to achieve successful data collection. Even with cloud-based computing, barcode scanning with SAP S/4HANA offers increased mobility and advanced data analytics. This allows businesses to optimize workflows without missing out on critical features.

Barcode scanning with SAP S/4HANA enables seamless and efficient data collection, processing, and integration with SAP software. Together with RFID technology, barcode scanning with S/4HANA can automate asset tracking and inventory control while improving processing speeds and data visibility. TranRFID integrated SAP with RFID applications for S/4HANA, creating a powerful system for fast and accurate data collection and validation. As a result, TranRFID is a reliable and future-proof solution for IM, WM, and EWM applications, bringing companies into the modern age of automated data collection and inventory control.
