FedEx $200M RFID Dock Automation

Director of IT, FedEx. Program owner for the RFID/RTLS deployment.

FedEx RFID and RTLS dock automation flow: RFID tag on freight, dock readers, RTLS platform, shipment management system, dock supervisor view. $50M saved annually.

Problem

FedEx needed a real-time view of where every shipment sat on the dock, without manual tracking.

What I did

  • Owned the $200M RFID and RTLS program from business case through deployment
  • Tied the location data into shipment management so dock operations ran on live data
  • Led the engineering and vendor teams through rollout

Result

  • $50M in annual savings

How this applies to you

Innovate engagements start with the question this program answered: which location and status data removes the most labor or delay, and what it costs to capture. You get the business case in dollars before any hardware or software is bought. See the Innovate work →
