UPM Raflatac, an RFID tag and inlay manufacturer, has been selected by retail giant Metro Group to supply its Rafsec G2 ShortDipole RFID inlays for a pilot scheme that will see products tracked along the supply chain from China to Germany.
UPM Raflatac will provide its EPC Gen2 UHF tags for Metro’s project “Advanced Logistics Asia”. The inlays, converted into four-inch by six-inch labels by RFID Systems and Supplies, will be tested at package level using different product categories. The RFID tagged packages will be monitored as they are shipped from the consolidation center in China to Metro operations in Germany.
