The use of reusable containers for production and logistics is commonplace in the food, automotive and pharmaceutical industries. Good management of these containers ensures that they are available to operators and that stocks are accurate in real time. It also offers financial benefits. By automating the management of your reusable containers, you can manage their life cycle at every stage: filling, transport, use/expiry, cleaning and maintenance.
Each container, whatever the material (plastic, wood, metal, etc.), is identified using RFID technology: RFID stick-on labels, screw-on hardened RFID tags, fixed hardened RFID tags. The container now has a unique identifier. The unique identifier of your reusable container is read by an RFID terminal, an RFID PDA or an RFID portal. RFID technology allows you to manage the tracking of containers internally, as well as shipments and returns to your subcontractors or customers. When it comes to applying your identifiers, the choice is yours! Manual or automatic, consult our solution on automatic label application methods.
