Cashew cartons in Puttur, spares near the refinery and freight at Panambur all move faster than a clipboard can follow. RFID gives Dakshina Kannada stores a count they can trust.

Readymade garments
Cartons tagged at packing by style, size and buyer order, read in bulk at the dispatch door, so a container's packing list is generated from what actually passed through it.
Export packers and forwarders
Pallet and carton tags in the export park and at container freight stations near the port, tracked by zone, cutting search time and mis-shipments on consolidated loads.
Petrochemicals and refining
Tool cribs, spares stores and contractor equipment tagged and tracked in and out of site, with tags selected for metal surfaces and harsh conditions.
Stock counting on the coast is a slow, damp, thankless job. Processors stack graded cashew in tins and cartons to the roof. Garment units pack cartons by style and size for buyers who audit every shipment. Maintenance stores serving the refining and petrochemicals belt carry expensive spares that must be found at once during a shutdown. In each case the physical stock and the book stock drift apart between annual counts.
RFID changes the method. Tagged cartons, pallets, tools and assets are read in bulk by fixed or handheld readers, without line of sight, and the counts sync into ERPNext. Acube designs the tagging scheme, supplies and installs Zebra readers, printers and tags, and integrates the data with stock and asset records. For a Dakshina Kannada business we begin with a pilot sized to one store or one asset class.

A full manual count means stopping dispatch for days. With tagged cartons a handheld sweep covers an aisle in minutes, so counting can happen weekly without closing the doors.
During a maintenance window near the Mangalore SEZ, an hour spent hunting for a valve kit is costly. Item-level location shows which rack and bin holds the part, and who drew the last one.
Counting frozen seafood by hand is slow and hard on staff. Tags and reader placement chosen for low temperatures and moisture let pallets be read at the door as they move.
An example
At an export packer in the industrial park at Ganjimutt, a container for a European buyer loads on Monday morning. Each carton was tagged at packing with its style, size and order line. As the forklift carries pallets through the dock door, a fixed Zebra reader records every carton and the packing list builds itself on the supervisor's screen. Two cartons from a different order have been stacked on the wrong pallet; the screen shows them before the door closes, not after the buyer's claim. The count matches the order, the packing list prints, and the e-way bill and invoice follow from ERPNext. In the afternoon the weekly sweep of the finished goods store takes one person half an hour with a handheld.
RFID cannot be designed from a distance alone, so a site survey in Dakshina Kannada comes first. We study the store layout, materials and movement, then run a pilot and measure read accuracy against your current counts. Hardware installation, staff training and go-live are on-site visits. Software integration and later support are handled remotely from Kochi in Kerala.
Discovery and sizing. Your items, sites and the loss that costs most, to scope a focused pilot.
Tag and hardware plan. Tags, readers and printers chosen for your racking, metal or open floor.
Pilot. A contained go-live on one store, store-room or asset class.
ERP integration. Counts and locations flow live into ERPNext, WMS and POS.
Prove it, then scale. Accuracy and count time measured against your old baseline before a wider rollout.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
Yes, with the right choices. Tags and reader positions are selected for metal racks, liquids, freezers and the humid coastal air of Mangaluru. The pilot proves read rates in your real conditions before you commit further.
No. Many businesses keep barcodes for low-value items and add RFID where speed and bulk reading matter, such as finished goods, high-value spares or returnable assets. Both feed the same ERPNext records.
We do. Acube supplies, installs and supports Zebra readers, printers and tags across India. Routine issues are solved remotely, and a visit to your Dakshina Kannada site is arranged when hardware needs hands.
After a first conversation about your items, sites and counting routine, so the pilot is sized to your floor first, we agree the scope and send you a written quotation. The price, the deliverables and the timeline are fixed against that scope before any work starts, so nothing grows without your sign-off.
You speak to someone who does this work, not a call centre. They ask about what you count or track, across how many sites, and how it is done today. If it looks like a fit, we agree the scope and put it in writing, with the timeline, before any work starts. If it does not, we tell you.
Export Promotion Industrial Park (EPIP), Ganjimuttpark
About 205 acres acquired and 164 developed as of 2011-12, roughly 18 km east of Mangaluru on NH 169; the state announced further development works worth Rs 64 crore here in 2022.
The export park east of the city on NH 169 holds units packing cartons and pallets for overseas orders. Bulk reads at the dock door are where RFID pays for itself first.

The largest MSE category in the district profile: about 3,850 registered units employing about 18,400 people as of March 2012, with readymade garments among the district's newer exports.
Garment units are the district's largest MSE category by the DC-MSME count. Cartons by style, size and order line are the classic RFID tagging case, and Zebra printers apply the tag at packing.

About 1,620 acres roughly 15 km north of the city and 8 km from New Mangalore Port, promoted jointly by ONGC, KIADB and the Kanara Chamber of Commerce; anchored on petrochemical and refinery-linked units.
Contractors inside the zone at Bajpe run tool cribs and spares stores where a missing valve kit during a shutdown costs hours. Tags chosen for metal surfaces make those items findable.
