Honda employs RFID tech to help manage assembly at IN plant 

Supply chain and logistics news

Dive Brief:

• A Honda plant in Greensburg, IN is employing RFID to locate vehicles and track their progress through its assembly plant, RFID Journal reported Tuesday. Vehicles within the plant are outfitted with the technology, as is the gate, enabling easy immediate location.
• The Greensburg plant produces 1,0000 vehicles per day. Honda’s intent in deploying RFID technology in 2015 was to ease the  process of locating vehicles, individually and en masse.
• Every new vehicle receives a passive RFID tag. Data from the tag is noted throughout the vehicle’s manufacture to track location. Since going live, Honda reports that costs and efficiency have improved. A further use for the RFID in use at the Greensburg plant will result in the optimization of logistics.
