End-to-End AIDC Solutions For Business

AIDC (Automatic Information and Data Collection) is a wide range of connected technologies that identify, track and collect data about physical objects or people. A computer or electronic system then records that data without the need for manual input. 

AIDC includes both hardware (the devices that collect and transmit data) and software (the platform that stores and manages the data). For example:

• Barcodes: A common technology used in most industries.
• QR codes: Like barcodes, Quick Recognition codes store and transmit information.
• RFID: Radio Frequency Identification provides wireless tracking without line of sight scanning.
• Mobile computers and scanners: Handheld devices with a scanner and a computer to collect and manage data remotely.
• Printing solutions: Printers, labels and ribbons for identification.

With AIDC solutions, businesses can:

• Reduce lost or misplaced inventory.
• Eliminate manual data entry errors.
• Increase the speed and accuracy of order fulfillment.
• Boost employee efficiency and productivity.
• Ensure compliance with industry regulations such as FDA and GS1.

Many companies use GO2 Partners' AIDC solutions to directly solve a specific business challenge or meet a larger company goal.

Some of the challenges that companies report after using AIDC include:

• Concerns with data security.
• Site and facility factors impacting technology performance.
• Costly implementations and initial expenses.
• Complex integration with existing processes and legacy systems.
• Lack of available expertise in AIDC.

Today, AIDC is used in almost every industry. GO2 Partners has specialized expertise in designing, implementing and managing AIDC solutions for the following industries:

• Warehousing and distribution: Inventory control, picking and packing.
• Manufacturing: Tracking parts, materials and work in progress.
• Retail: Pricing, inventory and loss prevention.
• Healthcare: Patient identification and lab specimen tracking.
• Transportation and logistics: Asset tracking and proof of delivery.

This will depend on your business needs and industry. For example, a warehouse may use a Warehouse Management System (WMS) and need to manage static product data as well as dynamic transactional data related to location and inventory count.  No matter the industry, it will provide machine-readable data for use in business operations.

This will depend on the industry and needs of the business. For example, in manufacturing, AIDC technology will track parts, materials and inventory. AIDC will also track work in progress. In shipping, AIDC will track a package location and provide notifications as the package is processed. In logistics, AIDC can track inventory, order volume and delivery, and manage shipping.
