Manufacturers & Producers Utilizing RFID

iGPS

Plastic pallet pooling company based in Orlando, FL

Currently uses Gen 2 UHF (915mhz) tags in all of its plastic pallets

Presence of RFID tags in pallets makes inventory tracking simple

iGPS customers can utilize the RFID tags embedded in iGPS pallets for their own tracking

While some customers use the RFID feature, not all have the capital to invest in RFID software

Swire Bottling

Swire Bottling, a Coca Cola bottling group, uses RFID to track syrup tanks and carbon dioxide cylinders in Hong Kong

Prior to 2010 Swire would lose hundreds of assets per year at restaurant and retail locations

Adding the $.25 tag to each asset reduced cylinder and tank replacement costs by $31,000 US / year for the division
