Case Study: Enhancing production accuracy at Van de Vin with RFID tech

In the timber construction industry, precision and real-time access to designs are crucial.

Van de Vin, a leading manufacturer of hardwood window and door frames, faced a challenge: large A0 project drawings had to be manually distributed and updated across the factory floor. Changes during production risked costly errors if employees worked from outdated drawings.

RFID Direct developed a custom RFID solution integrated with Van de Vin’s Matrix ERP system. Each wooden frame receives a standardized UHF RFID dowel tag. Custom scan heads read both barcode and RFID in a single motion, providing instant feedback via LED indicators and ensuring real-time ERP updates.

At every workstation, operators access the latest drawings digitally, eliminating paper and reducing mistakes.

Results

• €30,000 annual savings on paper and printing

• Fast, reliable processing under three seconds per item

• 100% assurance of using the latest drawings

• Full traceability and process transparency

With the system in place, Van de Vin is preparing for real-time production monitoring and future use of RFID tags as lifelong product passports, supporting circular construction and smarter maintenance.

For this project, Cisper provided the essential RFID hardware components. As RFID Direct’s trusted distribution partner, Cisper ensured timely delivery of high-quality readers and antennas, backed by expert technical support.
