In the fast-paced world of rotational moulding, staying on top of your production workflow is not just a competitive advantage—it’s a necessity. For years, many manufacturers have relied on spreadsheets, paper job cards, or barcode systems to track their products through the production process. But these traditional tracking methods are increasingly showing their age.
At ROTO-iD, we believe there’s a better way. Our RFID-based tracking solution is designed specifically for the rotational moulding industry, offering a simple, cost-effective, and game-changing alternative. Let’s break down why RFID is the future—and how ROTO-iD is leading the charge.
The Limitations of Traditional Tracking
Before diving into the benefits of RFID, it’s important to understand the pain points of traditional methods:
1. Manual Errors
Paper job cards and spreadsheets are vulnerable to human error. A single typo or misplacement can lead to production delays, incorrect assemblies, or even lost products.
2. Time-Consuming
Manual data entry slows everything down. Workers must stop to fill out paperwork, scan barcodes, or log details into a computer—time that could be spent keeping production flowing.
3. Limited Visibility
With barcodes or paperwork, you often get a snapshot in time—not a live, accurate picture of where each product is in the post-moulding process. This lack of real-time visibility leads to bottlenecks and makes it hard to plan ahead.
4. Lack of Scalability
As your operation grows, these methods become harder to manage. More products mean more paperwork, more opportunities for mistakes, and more time lost.
Why RFID—and Why ROTO-iD?
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) changes the game. Unlike barcodes, RFID tags don’t need line-of-sight to be read and can be scanned in bulk, automatically and instantly. Here’s how ROTO-iD leverages this technology to your advantage:
1. Seamless Integration
Our ROTO-iD RFID tags are permanently spin-welded into your moulded products, becoming a part of them—durable, tamper-proof, and uniquely identifiable for life.
2. Real-Time Tracking
ROTO-iD software, paired with our RFID reader, gives you live updates on each product’s status. Know exactly where each item is—in assembly, testing, dispatch, or storage—without lifting a clipboard.
3. Improved Quality Control
By tracking each individual product through every post-moulding stage, ROTO-iD ensures that nothing is skipped or missed. It’s easier to confirm that each item has passed required checks and tests, and to trace back any issues to their source—helping you maintain high standards and accountability across the production line.
4. Better Accuracy, Less Admin
Automated tracking means fewer errors and less time spent on paperwork. Free your team to focus on what they do best: building quality products.
5. Smart Insights
ROTO-iD doesn’t just track—it collects data. Over time, you gain insights into production bottlenecks, turnaround times, and productivity, helping you make smarter operational decisions.
Designed for Rotational Moulding
ROTO-iD isn’t a one-size-fits-all system. It was purpose-built for the unique demands of the rotational moulding industry. That means it’s rugged, reliable, and simple to implement—no tech team required. Whether you’re a small operation or scaling fast, ROTO-iD grows with you.
The Future is Now
RFID technology is no longer just for high-tech warehouses or massive logistics operations. It’s accessible, affordable, and ready to revolutionize how rotational moulders manage production. ROTO-iD brings that future to your factory floor today.
Don’t let outdated tracking methods hold you back. Make the switch to RFID—and discover how much smoother, smarter, and more efficient your operation can be.
