Case Study: Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe achieves zero-stock, 60% higher production capacity with Zetes RFID

Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe realises zero-stock operations with RFID

Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe (MCFE), a Dutch forklift manufacturer, needed to increase output and move closer to lean, zero-stock production while managing more than 1,200 parts on its assembly line. To meet this challenge, the company worked with Zetes to expand its automation project using RFID, along with a wireless network and handheld and truck-mounted terminals.

Zetes implemented an RFID-based solution that automatically reads moving tags, integrates with MCFE’s ERP system, and supports just-in-time parts delivery. The result was more reliable stock management, less manual scanning, improved worker productivity, and a tidier work floor, while production capacity increased by up to 60%.
