Hurst Green's TwinBin product has already created opportunities for many world-class aerospace companies, achieving impressive cost reductions, whilst significantly improving stock control. RFID is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using RFID tags. Unlike more conventional scanning systems, the tags do not require a line of sight or need to be individually scanned.
TagBin has two protected chambers,
arranged vertically and separated by
a slider, which when pulled drops
the reserve batch into the active
chamber. TagBin means that the bin
will signal whenever the slider is
pulled and the reserve chamber
becomes empty. Bins no longer have
to be physically examined. When the
slider is pulled, the RFID tag is
exposed, indicating that
replenishment is required. Status is
determined either by using fixed
readers in real-time or by walk-by
using a portable reader.
