Towards the RFID crate development lead the PENAM's efforts to increase the process automation of production and warehousing operations, elimination of lost reusable assets and ensuring the complete product traceability and visibility within the production and supply chain. The identification of bakery crates by RFID tags is the eliminary prerequisite for further RFID technology deployment through the production and warehousing facilities and thus reaching the maximum level of system efficiency.
RFID crate represents a unique innovative solution of its kind in the Czech Republic and it means a significant shift in development and adoption of new technologies as for RFID and automatic identification as well as for plastic industry markets.
From technology point of view the solution was developed by companies Barco, RFID systems integrator, and Alfa Plastik, producer of plastic mouldings. At the current stage on the simple looking solution is a result of several month's development, testing and searching for suitable and economically beneficial combination of plastic packaging and passive UHF radio-frequency tagging. As a suitable RFID technology for this application were selected RFID UHF Squiggle tags from Alien Technology that complied with performance demands on read range, reliability and economical demands on the possible lowest operation cost and total investment rentability.
