Accelerate throughput for just-in-time inventory requirements
Your Stark CG solution begins with an on-site assessment and evaluation of your operating environment, dialing in on challenges presented by your operating conditions and distribution channels, deep inventories in multiple locations and asset movement. If warehouse and distribution associates spend time searching for specific product types, or struggling with manual, line-of-sight inventory tracking, we recommend placement of RFID interrogators and re-mapped processes to cut labor costs and delivery times. Stark CG automates your processes, combining RFID hardware and tags with our customized programming (you print and encode RFID smart tags with up to 96 bits of product information).
End-to-end supply chain visibility to reduce “out-of-stock” incidents, traceability and customer service
Automated, real-time updates
to eliminate "out of stocks"
When orders are ready for shipment, Stark CG RFID readers direct associates to the correct product location and verify order specs. This improved visibility reduces “out-of-stock” incidents at distribution or the point of purchase, while also supporting complete traceability and just-in-time inventory resupply.
Stark CG reads RFID tags from virtually any angle with no line-of-sight restrictions. You can assign unique lot numbers, with multiple production runs and locate these runs in separate rows. Inventory information is available in real time, so you can access the RFID software to check on the location of a specific product type or order.
Audit trail to document chain-of-custody path to help prevent counterfeiting and eliminate billing disputes

Document your chain of custody and help eliminate counterfeiting
Stark CG complies with all pending legislation for e-pedigrees, giving pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution operations documented, end-to-end traceability. This helps prevent counterfeiting, theft and invoicing disputes, generating reports to document the chain-of-custody path. These reports form an audit trail, which eliminates billing disputes and helps to reduce charge-back fees. Larger operations, with multiple locations, see an immediate improvement in inventory control and customer service. Automated real-time manufacturing and shipping information, integrated with your ERP software, supports improved QA through elimination of error and wasted movement.
