Italian packaging-components manufacturer Coster Group has boosted its daily logistics operational efficiency by 1.5 hours per staff member, thanks to a radio frequency identification solution. The technology, provided by Aton, includes passive EPC Gen 2 ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID tags, Aton’s onID software that interprets read data and forwards it to the company’s Oracle system, and a mix of handheld and fixed readers. Since the system’s installation at one of its plants, the company has reduced the amount of time employees spend managing the locations of goods at that site by 90 percent, according
to Salvatore Ricca, Coster Group’s purchase and ICT (information and communication technology) director.
