State-owned electricity utility Eskom has issued a tender seeking service providers for the automation of spares- and warehouse-management processes across its generation division, which has been prone to incidents of theft.
Eskom issued a request for proposals for a Barcoding and Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, solution within Eskom’s Generation warehouses with a closing date of September 19.
The solution is expected to automate the current paper-based process to reduce incidents of stock pilferage, enhance stock accuracy and to increase productivity, Eskom said in a statement.
