RFID Asset Tracking
Software in Chennai
Chennai's automotive OEMs and their Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers move returnable containers between plants every day. RALMP captures that movement automatically at the dock-door gate, instead of a delivery challan nobody reconciles.

Why Returnable Container Tracking Matters in Chennai
Chennai's automotive OEMs run on a Returnable Container Program — Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers deliver components in standardized containers or pallets that come back to be reused, over and over, plant to plant. When a container doesn't come back, the loss shows up as a procurement cost, not a logistics one — and by then it's too late to trace.
- Container movement captured at the dock gate, not on a paper challan
- Suppliers see their own container status without calling the plant
- Overdue containers flagged before they're written off as lost
Electronics Manufacturing Needs It Too
Sriperumbudur's electronics and EMS units move component trays and containers between assembly lines and vendors the same way an auto plant moves returnable pallets. RALMP's category-specific checkpoint definitions mean a component tray, a pallet and a tool follow their own tracked lifecycle from the same platform.
- Category-specific tracking for trays, pallets and tools
- One platform across multiple Chennai plants or business units
- Handheld scanning for sites without a fixed gate reader

The Returnable Container Flow
Configure the Workflow
Define movement types — Outward/Dispatch, Customer-In, Customer-Out — and which checkpoints need approval or a transaction number.
Tag & Register
Each container, pallet or tool gets a barcode or RFID label and a category-specific checkpoint definition in the asset master.
Capture at the Gate
A fixed RFID reader at the dock door captures tags automatically over LLRP as containers pass through, with no manual scan.
In-Transit to Customer
The asset moves to In-Transit-to-Customer, visible on the control tower the instant the gate capture happens.
Received at Customer
A handheld scan or gate read at the receiving dock moves the asset to At-Customer, with the supplier notified over SignalR.
Return & Reconcile
The reverse movement is captured the same way, and any container overdue for return triggers an automated alert.
RALMP vs Manual Container Tracking
| Factor | RALMP | Manual Tracking |
|---|---|---|
| Container Movement | Captured automatically at the dock-door RFID gate | Logged on a delivery challan, manually re-entered |
| Supplier Visibility | Suppliers see their own movements in a self-service portal | Suppliers call the plant to ask where their containers are |
| Overdue Returns | Automated alert the moment a threshold is breached | Discovered during the next physical stock count |
| Multi-Plant Operation | One platform, isolated data per plant or company | Separate spreadsheets per plant, no consolidated view |
Serving Chennai's Manufacturing Belt
Ambattur's tooling and component units, Oragadam's OEM and Tier-supplier cluster, Sriperumbudur's electronics manufacturing zone, and the Irungattukottai industrial park all move returnable assets daily between plants that are sometimes minutes apart and sometimes across the city. RALMP gives every one of those movements a captured checkpoint.

Each container movement is captured against a configured checkpoint — In-Transit-to-Customer when it leaves the supplier's dock, At-Customer once it's received at the OEM plant. A fixed RFID gate reader at the dock door captures this automatically over LLRP as containers pass through, without a manual log entry.
