TOSHIBA
In October 2006, computer manufacturer TOSHIBA announced it has selected UPM Raflatac to develop one of the largest Gen2 RFID supply chain solutions in Europe. Previously, when the pallets with PCs arrived at TOSHIBA’s warehouse for storage, handling staff would book in the delivery by scanning the barcodes on each box individually. Now that each boxed laptop is fitted with a Rafsec G2 ShortDipole tag, the entire pallet can be processed instantly by passing it through an RFID reader gate at the entrance. When the implementation will be up to speed, TOSHIBA expects its warehouse to handle 15,000 PCs a day compared with the current 9,500.
