Challenge

Time-Sensitive and Accurate Fresh Food Logistics

Handling fresh food demands meticulous logistics. Maintaining correct storage temperatures, minimizing physical contact, and ensuring on-time deliveries are crucial for maximizing shelf life. Delays or errors in picking can lead to rapid spoilage. Nowaste Logistics, managing a large portion of the fruit and vegetables consumed in Sweden, needed a system to guarantee RFID ensures deliveries are handled with utmost precision.

Such is the system's accuracy that receiving shops now call the logistics companies directly for any discrepancies, not our distribution center

Benefits

Reduced Cost of Claims

Full Visibility on Picked and Shipped Pallets

Automatic Registration of Pallets to IT System

Improved Delivery Accuracy

Outcome

The RFID implementation transformed Nowaste Logistics’ loading verification process, ensuring exceptional delivery accuracy and on-time food deliveries for its vast network of retail outlets. The system provides real-time visibility into loading status and completely automated traceability for handling unit status and delivery verification, including change of ownership at the dock door. This eliminated the need for manual scanning of 6,000 pallets daily and resolved issues with false reorders and out-of-shelf situations, guaranteeing fresh products are always available. Such is the accuracy of the system that receiving shops no longer contact Nowaste’s distribution center regarding damaged or missing items; they now direct queries to the logistics companies.

Solution

RFID-Enabled Traceability and Control

Nowaste Logistics implemented a comprehensive RFID system to ensure deliveries are accurate and efficient:

  • RFID Infrastructure: The system comprises inbound and outbound RFID gates, conveyor readers, and RFID-equipped forklifts and pallet trucks.
  • Automated Data Capture: RFID gates automatically register all incoming and outgoing plastic pallets, eliminating manual data entry.
  • Real-time Matching: Conveyor readers match pallet IDs with picking data, ensuring the right products are loaded.
  • Forklift Integration: Forklifts and Pallet Trucks have a rugged PC to display pallet and order data, guiding operators to the correct items.
  • Exception Handling: Handheld devices with a Turck Vilant Client application are used for manual movements and quality control.
  • Searchable Video Analysis: The system integrates with searchable video analysis that helps in situations, where questions arise about the delivery.
