In the Sorter Room, returned items are automatically checked in, resensitized (for security purposes) and quickly sorted into 7 bins according to material type. With the 3M Sorter (nicknamed The Queen), we are really starting to reap the benefits of our investment in RFID and Self-Service Technology. Operationally, we have found that the formula of self-service + RFID drives efficiencies throughout the cycle of material flow, reduces material-handling and process steps for staff, and reduces FTE requirements related to material-handling. RFID is critical because digital-scanning is quicker, more efficient and more accurate than scanning with analog/barcode-label equipment.
For the customer a quicker turnaround time means that returned materials are more quickly available for borrowing – instead of sitting in a backlog of returned materials waiting for staff to manually check them in, the “right stuff” is quickly turned around and back on shelf for the next customer to borrow.
