Every material they produce has a carefully controlled usable life outside of frozen storage. From the moment a roll of prepreg or batch of resin leaves the freezer, it begins accumulating thermal exposure against an engineering-defined allowable limit. Each material has its own exposure specification, making accurate tracking essential to maintaining product integrity and meeting stringent aerospace requirements. ![Renegade 3](https://xemelgo.com/hubfs/Renegade%203.png) CHALLENGES 1. **Supporting growth with scalable processes:** As production expanded, tracking hundreds of temperature-sensitive materials, each with unique out-of-freezer exposure limits, required an automated solution capable of scaling alongside the business while maintaining exceptional accuracy. 2. **Reducing manual administrative effort**: Teams across shipping, engineering, quality, and production recorded a significant number of material transactions each day. Automating these routine activities would reduce administrative workload while allowing personnel to focus on higher-value manufacturing and quality initiatives. 3. **Improving visibility across facilities:** Materials routinely moved between multiple production areas and freezers. Renegade wanted every transfer automatically captured, providing complete thermal exposure history, immediate visibility into accumulated out-of-freezer time, and proactive notifications as materials approached their allowable exposure limits. 4. **Enhancing material traceability:** With multiple large freezers and active production, the team sought faster, real-time visibility into material locations, eliminating time spent searching for inventory and improving production efficiency. SOLUTIONS   Renegade deployed Xemelgo’s cloud-based RFID platform that automatically tracks every temperature-sensitive material from receiving, production and shipment. RFID tags applied to incoming raw materials and finished goods are read by fixed RFID readers installed at freezer, production, and warehouse access points, automatically recording every movement without manual data entry. The solution integrates directly with Epicor ERP to automate material consumption recording while maintaining a complete, permanent history of out-of-freezer exposure for every lot. Custom dashboards provide real-time visibility into material status, accumulated thermal exposure, location, and audit-ready reporting, supporting customer certifications and regulatory compliance. RESULTS   **$100k+ Reduced Scrap Risk**   Accurate out-of-freezer records mean materials are never unknowingly processed past their limit.     **95% Faster Temperature log retrieval**   A lot's full history goes from a 30 minute manual search to seconds, shareable with customers instantly.     **5+ hrs Time Returned to the Team**   Automated search and audit tools cut the time spent chasing down inventory.     **100+ Daily Manual Log Entries Eliminated**   Every freezer event, transfer, and touch point captured automatically. No one writes anything down. CONCLUSION   Data accuracy is not a process improvement. It is a business requirement. Renegade Materials built a system with Xemelgo that removed that risk entirely and discovered that solving the immediate problem was just the beginning. The data now flowing through their operation is opening a path toward a smarter, more analytically driven factory. For any manufacturer working with high-value, time-sensitive materials, that is what getting ahead of the problem actually looks like.    ![](https://xemelgo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Renegade%20Photo%204-png.png?width=283&height=377&name=Renegade%20Photo%204-png.png) ### Discover how Renegade Materials eliminated manual tracking with Xemelgo's RFID solution ![Renegade Blurred Preview](https://xemelgo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Renegade%20Blurred%20Preview.png?width=350&height=453&name=Renegade%20Blurred%20Preview.png "Renegade Blurred Preview") ## Get Started with Xemelgo Today [SCHEDULE A DEMO](https://xemelgo.com/demo?hsLang=en) [CONNECT WITH SALES](https://xemelgo.com/contact?hsLang=en) [![White Xemelgo Logo](https://xemelgo.com/hubfs/Xemelgo%20Logos/xemelgo_logo_white.png)](https://xemelgo.com?hsLang=en) #### Contact us: Xemelgo, Inc 3600 136th Pl SE, #300 Bellevue, WA 98006 [info@xemelgo.com](mailto:info@xemelgo.com) [+1-888-907-2884](tel:+1-888-907-2884) ### Product - [Work-In-Process Tracking](https://xemelgo.com/wip-tracking?hsLang=en) - [Inventory Management](https://xemelgo.com/inventory-management?hsLang=en) - [Asset Tracking](https://xemelgo.com/asset-tracking?hsLang=en) - [Shipment Tracking](https://xemelgo.com/shipment-tracking?hsLang=en) - [Internal Package Delivery](https://xemelgo.com/package-delivery?hsLang=en) ### Industries - [Manufacturing & Industrial](https://xemelgo.com/manufacturing?hsLang=en) - [Supply Chain & Distribution](https://xemelgo.com/supply-chain?hsLang=en) - [Retail](https://xemelgo.com/retail?hsLang=en) - [Automotive](https://xemelgo.com/automotive?hsLang=en) - [Healthcare & Life Sciences](https://xemelgo.com/healthcare-life-sciences?hsLang=en) ### Resources - [Resource Center](https://xemelgo.com/resources?hsLang=en) - [ROI Workshop](https://xemelgo.com/roi-workshop?hsLang=en) - [Newsletter](https://xemelgo.com/newsletter?hsLang=en) - [Xemelgo Blog](https://blog.xemelgo.com?hsLang=en) - [Customer Login](https://signin.xemelgo.com/login) - [Experience Center](https://xemelgo.com/xemelgo-experience-center?hsLang=en) ### Company - [About Us](https://xemelgo.com/about?hsLang=en) - [Contact Us](https://xemelgo.com/contact?hsLang=en) - [Become a Partner](https://xemelgo.com/partners?hsLang=en) - [Events](https://xemelgo.com/events?hsLang=en) [![SOC 2](https://xemelgo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SOC%202%20black.png?width=101&height=100&name=SOC%202%20black.png)](https://blog.xemelgo.com/xemelgo-achieves-soc-2-compliance?hsLang=en) © XEMELGO, INC. 2026.
