Managing tens of thousands of items in a busy industrial warehouse requires accurate inventory information and reliable control over every material movement. At stainless steel manufacturer Outokumpu, misplaced components, unrecorded stock transfers and time spent searching for materials created operational challenges.
In this presentation, Kyösti Melametsä, Business Development Manager at Turck Vilant Systems, explains how an RFID-based warehouse management solution addresses these challenges through automated identification, forklift guidance and real-time inventory visibility.
The case study follows the practical warehouse workflow, from incoming goods and shelving to production order picking and material movements. RFID-supported processes identify items, record their storage locations and guide forklift operators to the correct destinations, reducing dependence on manual searches and entries.
Kyösti also provides insights into the project's implementation, commissioning and operational benefits. The system maintains up-to-date information on stock availability and automatically registers bin and storage locations, helping warehouse teams locate components and keep production supplied.
