Automatic Identification in Packaging-Radio Frequency Identification in Multiway Systems

摘要

With regard to the increasing environmental awareness all over the world, many companies replace their one-way packaging systems by reusable systems in order to save energy and resources and to reduce waste. But complex multiway networks entail several problems concerning the availability of returned empties and the control of the flow of waterials. In order to guarantee a failure-free operation of the logistic network at low cost, a complete tracking and tracing of the package based on efficient identification technologies is crucial.
