RFID tracking and verification

RFID Tracking & Verification Systems

SSI builds Watch Dog RFID tracking and verification systems from Rockford, IL that help production, warehouse, and shipping teams see item, case, skid, or pallet movement at defined workflow checkpoints.

Fastest start: send a facility map, movement points, tag type, throughput, expected rules, exception action, and WMS, MES, ERP, database, or dashboard needs.

Problem

Movement is hard to control when records only exist at the end of the process.

RFID tracking is useful when the workflow has defined read points, expected movement rules, and clear exception behavior. SSI scopes the tag, antenna, read zone, database, dashboard, and integration requirements around the actual facility path.

What can be tracked

  • Pallets, skids, cases, totes, items, carts, or fixtures
  • Dock doors, aisles, staging lanes, cells, rooms, and zones
  • Expected contents, route, shipment, count, or location status
  • Barcode and RFID checkpoints in the same workflow when needed

What the system can report

  • Read events, movement history, and timestamped exceptions
  • Wrong zone, wrong route, missing item, or count mismatch alerts
  • Dashboard status, CSV exports, and database records
  • WMS, MES, ERP, shipping, or label-system handoffs as scoped
Best fit

Best-fit RFID tracking projects

Defined movement points

The facility has specific docks, zones, handoffs, or checkpoints where identity and movement should be verified.

Exception rules

The team can define what should happen when the wrong item, count, route, or zone is detected.

Data handoff

The workflow needs usable event records, exports, dashboards, or integration with WMS, MES, ERP, database, or label systems.

Quote inputs

What SSI needs to quote the work

Facility and tag details

  • Facility map with docks, aisles, rooms, cells, doors, and zones
  • Tagged item types, material, orientation, density, and read distance
  • Tag samples or target tag type when available
  • Movement speed, traffic patterns, and environmental constraints

Workflow and data details

  • Expected movement, count, route, shipment, or contents rules
  • Exception action: alert, hold, route, stop, supervisor response, or log
  • Dashboard, CSV, database, WMS, MES, ERP, or label handoff requirements
  • Retention, reporting, and user access needs
Example workflow

Shipping checkpoint with RFID and count verification

Example workflow: a skid moves through a shipping portal. The system reads the RFID tags, compares the detected items to the expected shipment, flags missing or wrong items, and records the movement event. The result can update a dashboard, create a CSV or database record, and prompt an operator or supervisor before the shipment leaves the facility.
