RFID TECHNOLOGY IN THE SERVICE OF PACKAGING & LOGISTICS

RFID TECHNOLOGYIN THE SERVICE OF PACKAGING & LOGISTICSIncorporating radiofrequency identification (RFID) to the packaging ofproducts and goods allows efficient logistics management throughoutthe supply chain, improved productivity and reduced costs. ITENEresearchs in RFID integration in packaging, radiofrequency devicesrecycling, traceability control in supply chains and development of RFIDtechnology in its laboratories.

RESEARCH AREAS- RFID and Packaging:Integration methods of RFID labels in packaging.Recycling of Packaging with RFID devices.- Traceability and RFID:RFID integration on supply chain.Potential application of RFID on Cool Chain.- RFID technology research:Passive and Active RFID technology.'Smart Antenna' technology for sensing of passiveRFID labels.BENEFITS FOR COMPANIES- Increases company profitability by reducing production costs,functioning and labour costs, reducing errors etc.- Allows more effective management, saving the company costsin the areas of supply, sales forecasts and purchase planning.- Provides added value to the products.- Improves temperature and humidity control of products incool logistics chains.- Real-time control of products and better overview of thelogistics chain.RFID SERVICESDesign and integration of RFID systems: optimisation of RFIDsystems and technological assistance in “Tag Placement” onthe packaging of product or load.Technical assistance to RFID integrating companies: equipmentand systems approval based on RFID in laboratory andcharacterisation of RFID components Tag and Antenna.RFID & LOGISTICS TECHCENTERITENE has an advanced scientific-technological lab forexperimentation with means of transport and warehouseelements. It allows us to research and validate new traceabilitysystems with RFID technology.Parque Tecnológico.C/Albert Einstein, 146980 Paterna-Valenciawww.itene.cominfo@itene.comTel. (+ 34) 96 182 00 00
