Reasons Manufacturers Use RFID
RFID allows companies to accurately track material and product in the supply chain
RFID can help identify leak points
Real time data collection
Ability to easily share information with customers
iGPS
Plastic pallet pooling company based in Orlando, FL
Currently uses Gen 2 UHF (915mhz) tags in all of its plastic pallets
Presence of RFID tags in pallets makes inventory tracking simple
iGPS customers can utilize the RFID tags embedded in iGPS pallets for their own tracking
While some customers use the RFID feature, not all have the capital to invest in RFID software
Swire Bottling
Swire Bottling, a Coca Cola bottling group, uses RFID to track syrup tanks and carbon dioxide cylinders in Hong Kong
Prior to 2010 Swire would lose hundreds of assets per year at restaurant and retail locations
Introduction of RFID tags to assets dropped the number of lost assets to near zero
Adding the $.25 tag to each asset reduced cylinder and tank replacement costs by $31,000 US / year for the division
Trasluz Casual Wear
Trasluz, a European clothing manufacturer and retailer, adopted RFID in 2010
Trasluz uses RFID through the entire supply chain, from production to retail sale
Every store item is RFID tagged, allowing for real time inventory tracking
Smart racks count the number of items on each shelf; Smart mats at exits prevent theft
Goodpack

IBC’s (Intermediate Bulk Containers) are metal containers used for holding liquids such as rubber, food or chemicals
Goodpack uses RFID to
identify the last recorded
location of each container at

Customers are provided RFID
scanners to ensure each
every container is scanned
upon arrival & departure
