Customer Webinar Featuring Continental Tire: How Continental Tire Used its Wi-Fi Network for Real-time WIP Tracking

Learn how Continental Tire increased production and efficiency by implementing a location-based WIP Tracking solution. The presenters discuss the benefits that the manufacturer has realized by leveraging its Wi-Fi network to add a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) to its 60-acre North American plant. The selection and deployment processes of the Wi-Fi RFID solution will also be highlighted.
Learn how Continental Tire integrated the solution to its Inventory Management System. The solution provides real-time visibility into the inventory on the plant floor and allows Continental Tire to drive lean manufacturing without the risk of running out of material.  As a result, the manufacturer has reduced its scrap/loss, prevented production stoppages, enhanced productivity and improved search time for WIP.
