RFID

- micro chips in transportation material

Radio Frequency Identification, or “RFID”, is the technology that uses radio waves to automatically identify objects – such as crates, pallets, commodities etc..

Each RFID tag contains a unique Electronic Product Code (EPC), which is a kind of “license plate” of the tagged item. The EPC holds very detailed information, as it combines information on manufacturer, type of object along with a specific serial number that relates to the particular item being monitored.

Container Centralen has already built RFID into some of the more recent product developments in recognising that this technology is the key to superior and optimised transport and logistics in the future.

RFID tags applied to Returnable Transport Items (RTIs), is the foundation upon which future possibilities for “Track & Trace” becomes possible. When the RFID tags are “read” by a scanner (handheld or gate) the EPC information can then be used to integrate CC Container flow information into ITC management systems.

Applying RFID tags to Returnable Transport Items (RTIs) makes it possible to optimize your logistics even further by reducing the need for manual registration of your product and RTI flow.
