RFID has the capacity to revolutionize global logistic chains and improve supply chain management. Major retailers and their suppliers are already tagging pallets, cases and other returnable transit items (RTIs) like plastic crates used for fresh foods. RTIs are capital assets, so total visibility is essential. Tagging the crates also facilitates better management of the asset pool.
RFID technology enhances asset management by supplying visibility and real-time inventory data to guarantee traceability and availability. This results in reduced shrinkage and counterfeiting as well as a reduction in out-of-stocks.
UPM Raflatac offers a range of RFID products for this market segment. Please see the table below.
