Manufacturing & Warehousing RFID & Barcode Systems UK

For over two decades, manufacturing plants and multi depot distribution warehouses have been GJBS's core UK heartland. Trusted by industrial leaders including Jaguar Land Rover, Makita, Wanzl, ATA Garryson, TDK, Euroleathers, and OnSite Central, we connect goods in, shop floor WIP, returnable stillages, and automated dispatch invoicing.

MANUFACTURING & WAREHOUSE ARCHITECTURE

Closing the Gap Between ERP & the Physical Shop Floor

Enterprise ERPs excel at financial ledgers, yet often leave a blind spot on the warehouse floor, where operators resort to clipboards and Excel spreadsheets. GJBS provides the fast, rugged execution layer that keeps physical stock and ERP figures 100% aligned.

Zero Bottleneck Wireless & Offline Scanning

Large steel clad UK warehouses frequently suffer Wi-Fi dead spots inside high bay aisles or external loading yards. GJBS Android applications validate scans locally on the handset and synchronise automatically with your central server without dropping transactions.

Dock Door RFID Portals Without Stray Reads

Automate pallet, trolley, and stillage dispatch verification as forklifts drive through loading bay doors. Our RF engineers tune antenna polarisation, power attenuation, and directionality so adjacent staging lanes are never misread.

Custom Production Labelling & GS1 Compliance

Print product, outer case, and SSCC pallet labels directly from scales, PLC triggers, or handheld scanners using industrial thermal transfer and UHF RFID printers matched independently to your daily label duty cycle.

Modular Expansion Across Every Plant Department

Start with AR-Stock in finished goods warehousing, then add AR-Trace for shop floor WIP genealogy or AR-Tool Tracker for maintenance cribs, all implemented and supported by one UK engineering partner.

Core GJBS Workflows for UK Factories, Engineering Stores & Distribution Hubs

Manufacturing and wholesale distribution sites lose hours every week when raw materials, press tooling, returnable stillages, and finished picks rely on handwritten job cards.

UK MANUFACTURING & WAREHOUSE FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions: Factory & Warehouse Tracking

Can GJBS integrate directly with our existing manufacturing ERP or accounting package?

Yes. We regularly connect AR-Stock, AR-Trace, and AR-Tracker with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365/NAV, Sage 50/200, Syspro, Xero, and bespoke SQL manufacturing systems, pulling works orders, BOMs, purchase orders, and sales orders while posting verified receipts, picks, and stock adjustments back automatically.

Should our warehouse use long range 2D barcodes, passive UHF RFID, or both?

Most UK factories and 3PL warehouses get the highest ROI from a hybrid setup: 1D/2D barcodes for pallet racking locations, raw material lots, and outbound courier labels (where long range imagers scan top beam racks from the forklift cab up to 15m away), paired with UHF RFID for reusable steel stillages, tool cribs, and rapid bulk audit zones.

How do RFID tags perform on metal stillages, automotive racks, and machinery?

Standard paper RFID inlays detune against steel, so GJBS specifies industrial on-metal UHF hard tags and foam decoupled labels engineered specifically to use metal surfaces as a reflector, achieving reliable long range reads on racks, kegs, moulds, and automotive stillages.

Can we host the database on our own factory Windows SQL Server rather than public cloud?

Yes. Unlike cloud only SaaS apps that often fail manufacturing IT security reviews, every GJBS solution can run either on your on premise Microsoft SQL Server network or in our secure UK hosted cloud environment.

Do you carry out on site warehouse surveys and operator training anywhere in the UK?

Yes. Operating centrally across the UK, our engineers conduct nationwide site surveys, RF portal testing, printer commissioning, and hands-on warehouse floor training.

Can GJBS scanners read laser etched Direct Part Marks (DPM) on machined metal components?

Yes. For automotive, aerospace, and precision engineering plants, GJBS supplies specialist industrial DPM barcode imagers engineered with diffused multi angle illumination that decodes low contrast dot peen and laser etched 2D DataMatrix marks on curved or reflective steel and aluminium.

How do you prevent returnable automotive stillages and plastic totes from going missing at customer sites?

Tagging each stillage, tote, or pallet collar with a rugged UHF RFID or hybrid barcode transponder in AR-Tracker logs every outbound dispatch to a named customer and tracks dwell days on site, giving logistics teams clear proof to recover or recharge overdue packaging.
