Overcoming Labor Shortages in PPE Stockrooms with Automated RFID Solutions: A Case Study in the Food Industry

Ever found yourself scrambling to find enough staff to manage your PPE stockroom?  

We get it. In the fast-paced world of food production, finding qualified staff for your stockroom can feel like an impossible task. The result? Operational bottlenecks, constant errors, and rising costs.  

What if there was a way to automate these tasks and free up your team for more important work?  

At OTTO ID Solutions, we offer RFID solutions designed to streamline stockroom management and tackle labor shortages head-on.  

The Challenge: Labor Shortages in Food Industry PPE Stockrooms  

Your stockroom is in chaos. There isn’t enough hands-on deck to handle daily tasks. Inventory counts are falling behind, errors are piling up, and your staff is overwhelmed. Productivity is down, and frustration is up. Sound familiar?  

The Solution: Automated RFID Technology  

Our RFID solutions, INFINATE WEAR and SILL DEVICE, can transform your stockroom operations by automating key processes, reducing the need for manual labor.  

INFINATE WEAR: Employee Self-Service  

Imagine your employees managing their own PPE needs without any hassle. With INFINATE WEAR, each PPE garment is tagged with an RFID chip. Employees can grab what they need from RFID-enabled cabinets. Opening and closing the cabinet door automatically updates the inventory in real-time, cutting out manual counts and reducing errors. This self-service model means you don’t need dedicated stockroom staff.  

SILL DEVICE: Staff-Assisted Distribution  

Now, think about a system where staff can handle PPE distribution smoothly. The SILL DEVICE lets employees request garments by tapping their ID cards. Staff then use RFID scanners to track each item accurately, reducing errors and keeping perfect records. This setup frees your staff to focus on more critical tasks.  

Real-World Impact: Food Industry Case Study  

A major food processing plant was struggling with labor shortages and manual tracking failures. They faced frequent stock-outs and overstock situations. By implementing our INFINATE WEAR system, they automated inventory updates, drastically cutting down the need for manual labor.  

Employees quickly adapted to the self-service model, finding it easy and efficient. Automated alerts for low stock levels ensured the plant never ran out of essential PPE garments like frocks, smocks, and lab coats. This improved operational efficiency and boosted employee morale since they always had the gear they needed.
