Radio Frequency Identification Uses on Food & Beverage items
June 4, 2012
Different tools to help distributors classify, find or correctly place each one of their products were launched at the International Packaging Exhibition HISPACK 2012, which was held in Barcelona in May.
A hand tool scanner which allows you to find - among thousands of products - the one which is about to pass its sell-by date; security antennae that show exactly which products were stolen; labels that make it easier to monitor the journey of a product from source to Point of Sale… All of these RFID technology uses – and many more – were launched during HISPACK 2012.
Checkpoint Systems Inc., the main supplier of solutions for unknown losses management, stock visibility and labelling solutions, in association with Bizerba, the market leader on weighing systems, data, communication solutions and food service, demonstrated the main RFID uses in food and beverage solutions:
. GLP labelling station and RFID label encoding
. Reading processes with hand scanner of RFID labels already encoded
- A search of products about to pass their sell by date
- A search by weight, price or reference.
. Antitheft device with RFID antenna demonstration: Identifying stolen products and price
. GLM automatic labelling with brand labels and CheckpointTamper Tag anti-theft device demonstration
These are a few of the innovative tools that were presented at HISPACK 2012: useful tools for a better industry.
