Cost savings and improved control through automation
With RFID technology, simple containers become intelligent building blocks in supply chains and production processes. Containers can be used for order picking, for protecting employees when handling hazardous materials, for improving the shelf life of sensitive substances, or simply for transportation.
RFID chips on the containers transmit data about the nature of the contents or information about the condition and location of the container. In addition, the shelf life of the contents can be determined and utilization improved. The data exchange at key process points in a production chain, such as filling, cleaning, or return stations, not only simplifies administration. The data collected can also be used to generate added value.
