RFID Work in Process (WIP) Systems

Overview

Modern industrial operations require precise, real-time tracking of work-in-progress materials to boost efficiency and eliminate production bottlenecks. RFID Work in Process (WIP) systems enable just that by offering seamless visibility into every stage of manufacturing and assembly. These systems are especially useful in high-complexity environments like electronics, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and aerospace manufacturing. Their ability to track individual items or batches in real time leads to reduced downtime, fewer errors, and improved quality assurance.

GAO RFID Inc., headquartered in New York City and Toronto, Canada, brings these advanced RFID WIP solutions to Israel with a strong focus on technical excellence, product reliability, and expert support. Our customers include major R&D firms, Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and prestigious academic institutions across North America.

What is RFID Work in Process (WIP)?

RFID Work in Process (WIP) systems are smart tracking solutions designed to monitor and manage the flow of materials, parts, or assemblies throughout a manufacturing or production process. By integrating RFID tags and readers at various checkpoints, these systems provide real-time updates on the location, status, and handling of items in production.

WIP systems are implemented across multiple industries in Israel, including electronics manufacturing in Haifa, automotive assembly in Tel Aviv, and aerospace production in Be’er Sheva. Facilities use these systems to automate tracking, reduce manual logging, and streamline quality control, enabling a more agile and traceable production cycle.

These systems offer compatibility with both fixed and handheld RFID readers, and they can be seamlessly integrated with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), ERP software, and quality control modules.

International Standards for RFID WIP Systems:

• ISO/IEC 18000 – RFID air interface standards
• ISO/IEC 29167 – RFID security protocols
• GS1 EPCglobal Standards – Serialization and data sharing

Regulations in Israel for RFID Systems:

• Ministry of Communications – Radio Frequency Licensing Guidelines
• Israeli Standard SI 5113 – RFID communication protocols
• Cyber Directorate RFID Guidelines – Secure data exchange compliance

Applications of RFID WIP Systems:

• Automotive part assembly tracking
• Electronics manufacturing validation
• Aerospace and defence component monitoring
• Pharmaceutical batch and lot traceability
• Food processing and packaging traceability
• Textile and apparel production
• Tool and fixture monitoring in industrial plants

GAO Case Studies

Haifa, Haifa District
A high-tech electronics manufacturing facility implemented GAO RFID’s WIP system to monitor the movement of printed circuit boards across production lines. This helped cut processing errors by over 40% and enabled automated logging of assembly checkpoints.

Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv District
An automotive supplier adopted our RFID WIP tracking solution to trace engine parts through assembly and testing stations. The system improved scheduling and led to measurable improvements in process visibility and inventory control.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem District
A defence manufacturing contractor used our WIP system to track sensitive aerospace components through secure zones, improving documentation compliance and reducing the risk of misplaced parts.

Petah Tikva, Central District
A medical device producer deployed RFID-enabled WIP tracking to maintain detailed records of sterilisation and packaging stages. The system allowed real-time compliance with quality control audits and reduced production cycle delays.

Be’er Sheva, Southern District
In a complex fabrication environment, GAO RFID’s WIP solution enabled real-time updates across multiple departments, helping streamline collaboration between design, manufacturing, and QA teams.

GAO RFID Inc. provides these systems with robust R&D, ensuring reliability, scalability, and technical excellence to help industries achieve their IoT goals.
