Wi-Fi Active Tag System Goes Live
U.K. express parcel delivery firm City Link is now up and running with what the publication Supply & Demand Chain Executive calls “the world’s largest deployment of Wi-Fi-based active radio frequency identification(RFID) tags.”
In the first stage of deployment, RFID tag manufacturer AeroScout and its UK partner JDH Consultancy Limited, installed 15,000 specially designed, rugged Wi-Fi tags with an extended battery life. The tags will be used at City Link’s depots around the UK market to manage the company’s dynamic inventory of “roll-cages,” which house and protect its high-value parcels during transit.
