Internet of Things

By establishing an RFID system for improvements in consistency of information between plants,
logistics hubs, stores, and systems, our IoT aims to enhanced reliability of logistics flow and create
a foundation for continuous growth by securing accurate inventory management.

RFID Management System
(air-RFID)
Radio-Frequency Identification

air-RFID is an operation system with intelligent optimization. It collects data for monitoring, predictive control, and intelligent analysis and evaluation of possible anomalies by utilizing IoT/RFID in Smart Factories and Smart Logistics Management System.
