Mark White, our pallet expert, argued that pallets and RFID make sense for tracking product within the four walls of a facility or across a closed loop supply chain—that is a supply chain that is controlled by a manufacturer—but not for tracking cartons across an open loop supply chain, with a number of unrelated players, like the retail supply chain. What’s more, he offered, attaching an RFID tag to a wooden pallet is a recipe for disaster, given how pallets are often handled. “One of my colleagues once said that putting an RFID tag on a pallet is like putting a license plate on a car in a demotion derby,” White said. “There are probably better ways to track a carton than to put an antenna on a pallet that is subject to damage pretty easily. It makes more sense to track the carton.”
Manufacturers are the most likely end users, and Green Line Armor has targeted the canned goods industry, manufacturers of heavy equipment and products and the automotive industry. The company’s biggest customer has 2,000 pallets that are used to handle work-in-process in its factories and then to store finished goods in the warehouse.
From the start, Green Line Armor designed a compartment in the plastic lead boards to hold an RFID tag. It then installs a passive RFID tag on the lead boards on both sides of the pallet. That way it gets a solid read no matter how the pallet is oriented. The tag has a 12-digit identification number that identifies the pallet when connected to a database on the back end. Green Line Armor uses that information for warranty purposes.
Pallet tags come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes depending on what you are attaching the tag to and what kind of read range you want. We can provide you with the label size and inlay under the label for whatever you need to tag.
Some inlays are more sensitive to reader orientation so you need to make sure that whatever labels you order are geared for your environment. Just because your neighbor's company uses a Rafsec Short Dipole on his pallets does not mean that you should!
We supply label stock in rolls with embedded inlays for almost all Gen2 inlays that are designed for label applications and almost every 13.56 MHz High Frequency label application.
It is very important to track your pallets and identify valuable asset goods in the course of global commerce today. To help maintain the whereabouts of important assets that is fueling its growth which it is ability of RFID asset tracking. We can offer HF and UHF RFID pallet tags for your different required projects. Specifically UHF passive tags if very perfect match for asset management and tracking and the return on investment for implementing an RFID infrastructure is very high.
RFID pallet tag which can be used on metal surface ( which can anti-metal RFID tags) and we also produce the tags on non-metal surface to tracking and management asset.
