RFID Applications in the Food & Beverage Industry
A major dairy processor in the Eastern US has been losing plastic milk cartons at a cost of $5 million per year. The problem is the usefulness of plastic dairy cartons as camping totes, dorm room bookshelf supports and play room toy storage. From a technology standpoint, the problem has been the inability track their cartons.
The dairy processor invested $150,000 to RFID tag the cartons-a substantial initial outlay. Each carton tag is written to a specific purchase order so now the company knows which customer has which carton, when they received it and with what order it arrived. From this they can log the carton back in when it is returned-or not, which gives them plenty of time to add the cost of the carton to the invoice to the customer.
The substantial initial outlay has reduced carton losses by 58% in the first year.
