By streamlining inventory management with a new RFID-enabled productivity solution. Since performance and accuracy are paramount, you conduct extensive testing to determine which RFID tag supplier will provide you with industry-leading read rates at the furthest distance. You select UPM Raflatac UHF DogBone tags as the clear winner, encasing them in a water-tight, castable RFID inlay that affixes securely to concrete structures. This combination, the Cast-A-Code® tag, is paired with a mobile computer with wireless RFID read capabilities to form the innovative TrackCon® system. Its purpose? To provide cradle-to-grave traceability for a wide array of manufactured concrete structures, including precast, prestress and architectural products.
