RFID-based shift performance monitoring

RFID or a similar performance monitoring system provides a data-secure, real-time and objective basis for production and HR decisions – thus reducing labor-related risk and hidden losses, while increasing productivity and transparency. A step that also lays the foundation for data-driven manufacturing.

Let's see what business problem this system gives rise to and what is usually a solution and what the end result will be:

Business Problem

Manufacturing companies often face problems with low labor efficiency, hidden downtime, and poorly measured performance. Management often lacks a clear picture of: 

  • how much each operator contributes to production,
  • where losses occur (e.g. scrap, waiting, slow changeover),
  • how much actual working time and utilization are. This results in costly labor maintenance, poor planning, and poor decisions.

Solution

The RFID shift performance monitoring system assigns a unique RFID identifier to each operator and technician.

  • It automatically records who is working on which machine, for how long, and on what task.
  • It measures shift performance in real time: production volume, scrap rate, changeover time, reaction time.
  • Dashboards and reports are created from the data, which immediately make bottlenecks, performance differences, and cost impacts visible.

Decision outputs

Based on the system data, management can:

  • Decide on cost optimization: which shift, line or operator produces efficiently, where redeployment or staff reduction is necessary.
  • Develop a bonus and motivation system: based on objective performance indicators. Identify training needs: which operator makes the most mistakes, who needs development.
  • Decide on strategic investments: it is clear whether the problem is on the labor, machine or process side, so the purchase of equipment is not done “blindly”.
  • Capable of immediate intervention: if an outlier or downtime occurs in a shift, immediate action can be taken based on an alarm
