Norsk Lastbærer AS Pool (NLP), a Norwegian organization managing nationwide pallet leasing for retailers and manufacturers, is piloting RFID tags for tracking plastic pallets and totes. The pilot covers two food factories, Maaraud and Finsbråten, and two distribution centres for the Coop retail chain.
NLP was established in 2006 to reduce the environmental footprint of logistics operations in the Norwegian, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) supply chain. The RFID pilot is managed by Hrafn. The fixed RFID readers are provided by Impinj and the antennas by Intermec. The pilot utilizes UPM ShortDipole™ UHF EPC Gen2 RFID tags, which are specifically designed to deliver stable high performance in supply chain management applications.
