In an effort to increase the efficiency of our customers shipping and handling of goods using reusable metal containers, Avery Dennison has evaluated the effectiveness of various Passive UHF RFID solutions for use in this process. The evaluation focuses on tracking large steel shipping containers and their contents as part of a parts distribution system. This study looks at two main problem areas: tracking the containers throughout their lifetime using permanent durable hardtags, and using standard print, encode and apply RFID labels as shipping labels.
