5 Ways Manufacturers Optimize Consumables Programs With RFID

RFID technology helps manufacturers who rely on repeat sales of consumable components combat threats to
profitability and performance, while ensuring superior operability for their end-use customers.

Fake products sometimes do not have the same characteristics of the original part or component. This can cause damage to the device, compromise performance, or even be harmful to the end user. Generally, manufacturers manage the entire value chain of the original equipment produced and the sale of replaceable parts and consumables.

For example:

• Printer manufacturers rely on ink cartridge sales and customer outcomes.
• Tools and equipment companies promise better productivity with portable nail guns powered by lightweight gas cartridges.
• Medical device manufactures rely on disposable components to improve infection control and efficiency and the sales of disposables

Accordingly, manufacturers across many industries leverage RFID systems to ensure product performance, protect the
customer value chain, and ensure product safety and handling of the equipment.
