RFID for Logistics, 3PLs and Distribution Centers
Senitron RFID makes every carton, pallet and shipment visible from the receiving dock to the outbound truck. Receive whole pallets by scan, build cartons and pallets with an RFID record of what is inside, verify every order before it ships, and audit transfers on arrival — for your own network or for every customer you ship for.
Receive, Build and Ship by Scan
RFID labels on cases, cartons and pallets turn every logistics step into a scan that takes seconds and leaves a record.
- Receiving: read a whole pallet or delivery at once and check it against the purchase order or advance ship notice, with shortages and overages flagged.
- Carton and pallet building: every carton and pallet gets an RFID record of exactly what is inside, linked to its order.
- Bin locations: put away to bin and rack locations and find any carton fast.
- Print and encode labels on site from your ERP, WMS or the Senitron portal.
Ship Right the First Time
Mis-shipments cost freight, labor and customers. Senitron checks every order against what is actually on the pallet before it leaves the dock.
- Order verification: the order shows “Ready” only when the right items and quantities are on the pallet.
- Shipment audits: every outbound carton and pallet is recorded, with bills of lading checked against the scan.
- Dock-door readers: fixed RFID readers log what passes in and out, with no one scanning.
- Wave picking and fulfillment for sales orders, with partial shipments and exceptions handled.
- Vendor returns scanned and recorded across locations.
Distribution Centers, 3PLs and Store Networks
- Distribution centers: count racks and pick faces in minutes, replenish pick locations and keep the WMS or ERP in step.
- 3PLs: receive, store and ship for your customers with RFID-verified counts, cartons and shipments, and give each customer accurate inventory reports.
- DC-to-store transfers: scan out at the DC, receive by scan at the store, with every difference flagged on arrival.
- Every site in one dashboard: warehouses, DCs and stores, with transfers audited between them.
Integrated With Your ERP and WMS
Transfer orders, purchase orders, item fulfillments and receipts run through RFID out of the box with NetSuite (including warehouse management: wave picking, cartons and pallets, bills of lading, shipment audits and vendor returns), Acumatica and Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central. Other systems connect through import and export or a custom integration. See also the RFID warehouse management system and ShipHawk RFID shipment monitoring.
RFID in Logistics: Common Questions
How is RFID used in logistics?
RFID labels on cases, cartons and pallets are read automatically by handheld and fixed readers, so receiving, put-away, picking, shipping and transfers become fast scans with a record of what moved, when and where. It replaces scanning barcodes one at a time and catches errors before shipments leave.
What are the benefits of RFID for a 3PL?
Faster receiving and shipping, RFID-verified counts and shipments, fewer mis-shipments and chargebacks, and accurate inventory reports for every customer, all from one dashboard.
Can RFID verify orders before they ship?
Yes. Senitron checks the items and quantities on a pallet against the order and only marks it ready when everything is there, and records every outbound carton and pallet.
Do we need fixed readers at the dock doors?
No. Many operations start with handheld readers for receiving, counts and shipping, and add fixed dock-door readers later for hands-free logging. Senitron runs both in one system.
Does Senitron integrate with our ERP or WMS?
Yes. Senitron integrates with NetSuite, Acumatica and Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central out of the box, and other systems connect through import and export or a custom integration.
What does an RFID logistics system cost?
Logistics and ERP-integrated projects are custom quoted for your sites, readers and workflows. Handheld RFID scanners run $1,550 to $3,500 and RFID printers $2,000 to $3,500, with a price-match guarantee and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
