Bin Tracking System

POXO's RFID Bin Tracking System helps manufacturers and logistics providers track plastic bins, metal racks, and pallets in real time across the supply chain using industrial RFID.

Quick Summary

POXO's RFID Bin Tracking System helps manufacturers and logistics providers track plastic bins, metal racks, and pallets in real time across the supply chain using industrial RFID.

  • Integrates with: SAP ERP / Oracle NetSuite, Custom WMS & Supply Chain Platforms, Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Portals, REST APIs & Webhooks
  • Core capabilities: Fleet Visibility: Monitor the exact location and status of thousands of bins, racks, and pallets simultaneously.; Automated Dock Scans: Fixed portal readers instantly log bins as they enter or leave the facility on forklifts, with zero human intervention.; Turnaround Analytics: Identify supply chain bottlenecks and measure the exact cycle time of your returnable assets.

Bin Tracking System

POXO's RFID Bin Tracking System replaces manual barcode scanning and paper logs with automated, high-speed RFID intelligence. Whether tracking plastic totes on an assembly line, heavy-duty metal stillages in an automotive plant, or pallets moving between suppliers, the system provides 100% real-time visibility into your critical transport assets. By automatically capturing in-and-out movements at dock doors, staging areas, and production lines, businesses eliminate bin loss, reduce hoarding by third-party vendors, and optimize their total RTI fleet size. Built for extreme industrial environments, the system utilizes rugged on-metal tags and high-power directional antennas to guarantee read accuracy even on moving forklifts carrying densely packed metal racks.

Core Features & Capabilities

Fleet Visibility: Monitor the exact location and status of thousands of bins, racks, and pallets simultaneously.
Automated Dock Scans: Fixed portal readers instantly log bins as they enter or leave the facility on forklifts, with zero human intervention.
Turnaround Analytics: Identify supply chain bottlenecks and measure the exact cycle time of your returnable assets.
Loss & Shrinkage Prevention: Receive alerts for stagnant bins and track exactly which vendor or department lost an asset.
Search & Locate: Use UHF handhelds in Geiger-counter mode to rapidly locate specific misplaced bins in massive storage yards.
ERP Integration: Sync bin movement and availability directly to SAP, Oracle, or your internal WMS.

How it works

1

Tagging Bins & Racks

Rugged on-metal or high-impact RFID tags are permanently affixed to returnable bins and metal racks.

2

Gate & Portal Scanning

Fixed RFID readers automatically capture bin movements as forklifts pass through warehouse dock doors.

3

Real-Time Mapping

The system logs the exact location, zone, and status of every bin in the facility.

4

Cycle & Search

Handheld RFID readers are used to perform rapid cycle counts or locate missing bins using Geiger-counter RSSI mode.

5

Dispatch Validation

Automated checks verify that the correct bins are loaded onto the correct trucks before dispatch.

6

Analytics & Turnaround

Reports highlight bin turnaround times, stagnation, and shrinkage across the supply chain.

Key Components

Asset Visibility

Maintain accurate RTI records and drastically reduce shrinkage through automated tracking and monitoring.

High-Speed Operations

Streamline dispatch, receiving, and cycle counting through bulk RFID reading.

Data-Driven Fleet Sizing

Optimize your required bin inventory by analyzing real-world turnaround and utilization metrics.

POXO’s industrial-grade Bin Tracking System gives modern facilities complete command over operations, securing tracking loops and streamlining automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can RFID tags survive industrial washing and high temperatures?

Yes. We deploy specialized rugged IP68/IP69K tags that withstand extreme heat, harsh chemicals, and high-pressure industrial washing cycles without failure.

How do we track metal bins? Doesn't metal block RFID?

Standard tags fail on metal, but our deployment uses specialized On-Metal RFID tags engineered specifically to use the metal bin's surface to amplify the signal, achieving massive read ranges.

Can the system track multiple bins on a moving forklift?

Absolutely. Our fixed gate portals and directional antennas are designed to read dozens of tagged bins simultaneously as a forklift drives through a dock door at speed.
