Logistics: Schenker Tests RFID
RFID is a core element for the future of manufacturing logistics, and more companies are moving towards implementing the technology for supply chain management and inventory control, amongst other uses. Schenker, a global logistics company and subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, is doing a test run on RFID on ten of their service containers. Currently, the containers travel between Hamburg, Germany and Hong Kong. Future plans include electronic seals, using RFID, to document container access. [via Food Production Daily]
