RFID tracking of Euro containers

An RFID system for tracking returnable packaging, Euro containers and pallets is a solution that allows you to determine the current location and monitor their movement in real time. The system is used in logistics, food industry, automotive and wherever Euro containers, storage boxes, pallets are used for transport. The RFID system collects data on the current position of containers, records the history and direction of their movement and enables the analysis of the time spent in specific locations. Automatic registration of containers by RFID readers improves transport and storage processes and increases their efficiency. Based on the data on the availability of containers, it is easy to plan internal transport, distribution between branches and quickly react to changes. Proper management of returnable packaging and shipping containers avoids unnecessary delays and downtime, resulting in improved productivity and reduced operating costs.

  • Real-time monitoring of container circulation
  • Automatic identification and registration of packaging and selections
  • Quick location of lost containers
  • Ability to perform analysis and generate documents

How RFID tracking of Euro containers works

Each Euro container or pallet has its own individual identifier in the form of an RFID tag, which allows for its unambiguous identification at every stage of the cycle. The system collects data on the current position of containers, records the history of their movement and enables the analysis of the time spent in specific locations. Based on the collected information, the system independently implements processes such as:

  • Registration of the release and collection of containers,
  • Control of available warehouse resources,
  • Monitoring the life cycle and rotation of containers,
  • Generation of billing documents

By implementing an RFID system, companies gain full control over the circulation of their returnable packaging, eliminate losses caused by lost containers and increase the efficiency of transport operations. Based on the data collected, the company can plan inspections, maintenance and purchases of new containers.

What does an RFID system for tracking Euro containers consist of?

  • RFID tags – each container or pallet is marked with a permanent RFID label that has the container’s identification number encoded.
  • RFID printers – RFID label printers are used to encode RFID tags to mark cases, pallets, and containers.
  • RFID antennas and readers – located in places such as loading docks, entrances / exits from warehouses, production halls, they automatically read data from RFID tags without the need for visual or physical contact.
  • RFID terminals – portable readers that facilitate picking and inventory.
  • Software – the software monitors the location, history of use, return dates, and maintenance of a given container.
