American Woodmark lauded as a standout in RFID production applications

Cabinetry manufacturing giant American Woodmark earns attention for its broad application of radio frequency identification chips (RFID), used to track materials at seven of its nine factories. RIFD is seen as a key factor in raising worker productivity, which has been in decline across the U.S., despite computerization of individual machinery. RFID, along with barcode identification systems, is seen in larger as part of the process for automating the links among machinery, work in process, and to order entry through delivery of cabinets and vanities.
