Mondi Tire Kutsan, one of the corrugated packaging suppliers in Turkey, introduced the ‘Intelligent Box’, a corrugated packaging solution equipped with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.
Mondi Tire Kutsan CEO Haluk Kaya said, "The Intelligent Box enables full traceability of products throughout production and distribution, generating real-time information on product availability and location. This allows customers to reduce costs associated with lost or misshipped packages, while enhancing receipting, invoicing and their own customer service."
The company said existing bar-code technology requires cases to be positioned in a certain way before scanning and only allows for boxes to be scanned one at a time.
Mondi’s RFID application process enables ‘out of sight’ scanning, which means it is feasible to scan an entire pallet as it passes a single point. The result is quicker receipting and distribution of goods – processes where bottle-necks are common within fast moving businesses.
The company’s team has developed an application process that automatically applies and verifies RFID tags at high-speed so that the product is ready to use when received by the customer.
"Mondi’s cost effective RFID application process, coupled with the improved efficiencies and reduced costs that this can deliver, will make the technology a feasible solution for our customers." Kaya said.
