RFgen 6.0: Redefining Mobile Data Collection for the Modern Supply Chain

A New Era of Mobile Productivity

RFgen 6.0 introduces a mobile experience purpose-built for today’s demands. Modern teams expect tools that feel familiar, work the way they’re used to, and make daily tasks easier instead of adding friction. The refreshed design in 6.0 brings the ease users expect from consumer mobile apps into your operation, creating a look and feel that aligns with how your teams already work while modernizing the tools they rely on every day.

Key enhancements include:

• Alternative input options including text-to-speech (TTS) and speech recognition (ASR) support different working styles and environments
• A more responsive camera interface that captures barcodes and labels with greater precision
• Streamlined workflows that reduce steps and keep tasks moving
• Faster scanning performance that keeps pace with high-volume operations
• A more modern layout that highlights essential information and reduces visual clutter to support faster decision-making

Solve for Connectivity Gaps with SmartSync™ Offline Architecture

Connectivity challenges are a reality in many supply chain environments. Freezers, secure areas, outdoor yards, and older buildings create conditions where traditional mobile tools struggle to stay connected. When this happens, work slows down or stops entirely, and data becomes harder to trust as teams revert to manual steps or wait for a connection to return.

RFgen 6.0 keeps your team working even when network connectivity is unavailable. Workers can complete tasks on their device, validate entries on the spot, and sync everything automatically when the connection comes back. With SmartSync™, your teams can maintain work continuity and keep data flowing without slipping into inefficient processes or putting information at risk. The ability to stay productive in rugged or hard-to-reach areas gives users confidence knowing their work remains accurate and secure, even in environments where offline workflows are part of everyday operations.

Extend Visibility Across Every Corner of Your Operation

Supply chains often depend on materials stored outside the walls of your warehouse. Yards, overflow areas, and large industrial sites can make it difficult for teams to find what they need fast. RFgen 6.0 extends your visibility into these outdoor spaces for the first time, giving workers a clearer, more reliable way to identify and retrieve materials quickly and accurately.

When your data reflects the full picture of where materials live, you can plan better, respond faster, and keep work moving without searching or second-guessing.

Monitor Outdoor Storage with Geolocation Tracking

Geolocation Tracking in RFgen 6.0 brings outdoor work into the same structured workflow your teams rely on indoors. Using GPS paired with a visual map of your site, workers are guided directly to outdoor storage locations. The map reflects a modern, Google Earth-style view of your facility, complete with buildings, roads, topography, pin placements, and clearly marked virtual bin locations. Workers can see exactly where items live and move straight to the right spot.

This feature supports the fast pace of environments where materials are constantly on the move. Teams gain clearer insight into how outdoor space is used, which reduces misplaced items and supports stronger inventory management across large yards and campus-style facilities. With the ability to increase outside bin utilization, keep tighter control of on-hand amounts, and stop losing product, operations become more efficient and easier to manage.

Drive Continuous Improvement with Real-Time Insights

Every scan, movement, and completed workflow creates data your operation can use to drive continuous improvement. RFgen 6.0 makes that information easier to access and understand, giving you real-time visibility into how work is performed across your supply chain.

KPI Tracking and Dynamic Dashboards

The KPI Tracking module turns mobile activity into visual dashboards that show how your operation is performing in real time. You can review accuracy, order completion, cycle times, and other key measures without pulling information from multiple systems.

These insights help you see where processes are strong and where adjustments may improve throughput or reduce delays. According to a study of over 350 businesses, organizations that use real-time KPIs achieve 9% higher profitability compared to those that rely on manual reporting. With RFgen 6.0, you have a clearer view of the metrics that matter and a faster way to align that information with your ERP.

Streamlined Management for Modern IT

Your mobile ecosystem grows more complex as your operation grows. RFgen 6.0 supports IT teams with hosting and architectural updates that reduce maintenance work, strengthen security, and provide a more stable foundation for long-term scalability. These enhancements give your teams the control they need to manage mobile environments with greater consistency and fewer disruptions.

Simplify with Cloud Hosting and Managed Services

Nearly 40 percent of RFgen customers rely on RFgen Cloud Hosting to maintain their mobile environment. Cloud Hosting reduces infrastructure overhead and ensures your system runs on the latest version without the need for manual updates.

For organizations that prefer a more hands-off approach, RFgen Managed Services provides full support for your mobile solution, allowing your IT staff to focus on initiatives that move your business forward while RFgen handles day-to-day management, monitoring, and optimization.

Secure and Scalable Architecture

RFgen 6.0 includes updates to application architecture, DevOps workflows, and provisioning tools that support consistent deployment and stronger integration with leading ERP systems. These improvements give IT teams a more predictable way to manage device fleets and maintain performance across environments.

Additional enhancements include:

• Enhanced VPN access for secure remote and hybrid connectivity
• REST API updates that create clearer, more scalable integrations

These improvements also support steady progress in rugged or hard-to-reach environments, giving your teams the tools they need to stay productive without interruption.
