RFID para Trazabilidad en Tiempo Real en Nissan

In the automotive industry, accuracy and efficiency in supply chain management is key to avoiding production disruptions. Nissan has adopted an advanced real-time traceability solution, developed by Maccion, based on RFID technology. This solution provides unique identification of containers throughout the entire supply chain, from external suppliers to the warehouse, through to line supply and empty management.

Implementing RFID has enabled Nissan to eliminate coding times in the receipt and dispatch of materials, automatically manage supply to production lines and minimise errors associated with the human factor. In addition, with advanced analysis tools, the company can continuously optimise its processes and improve its ability to react in real time.

Key Objectives

  • Traceability Automation: Implement RFID technology for real-time tracking of the entire supply chain.
  • Eliminating Human Errors: Minimize coding errors and manage supply to the lines automatically and accurately.
  • Optimizing Void Management: Efficiently control containers and manage voids in the supply chain.

 

Results Achieved

  • Reduction in Coding Times: The solution has eliminated the times associated with manual coding in the reception and dispatch of materials.
  • Supply Automation: The system automatically manages the flow of materials to production lines, ensuring that processes remain fluid.
  • Continuous Improvement: Advanced analysis tools allow for continuous adjustment and improvement of logistics and production processes.
  • Real-Time Control: Knowing the status of the factory in real time has improved the ability to react to any unforeseen event.

This success story shows how Nissan has significantly improved its supply chain management by implementing RFID technology, ensuring accurate traceability and full control in real time.
