Inventory precision and automated consumption tracking—powered by RFID
RFID tracks paper rolls and cores throughout production in winders, production lines, and in the warehouse recording roll location and ensuring shipment accuracy.
A short introduction to Paper Core and Paper Roll Tracking with RFID
RFID provides real-time supply-chain visibility for paper rolls and cores.
The Turck Vilant Systems Paper Roll Tracking Solution
The manual handling of paper roll and core inventory is time consuming and prone to error. RFID offers a cost effective method to identify individual paper rolls and cores remotely enabling automatized tracking of their movements and usage, which in turn leads to higher production efficiency.
Turck Vilant Systems is a world leader in pulp and paper tracking. Our RFID solutions keep a record of pulp and paper products around the globe on four continents. Specialized knowledge in pulp and paper manufacturing processes has helped us develop perfect products to support the needs of the industry.

- Logs all RFID events and documents the history of paper roll and core movements
- Tracks the consumption of paper during production process
A Step-by-Step Approach to RFID in Paper Production
Placing RFID read points at key warehouse zones and transition points enables real-time visibility into paper rolls and cores. When integrated with forklift operations, stock movements and location updates are logged automatically—eliminating manual input and delays.
Core Tagging
Individual cores are RFID tagged or when recycled in the factory, their data is updated.
Winder
Each core is identified as it enters the winder. The RFID data is matched up with the data in the MES.
Production Tracking
As cores move on production lines the RFID events are used to track and redirect them.
Stock
Forklifts equipped with RFID keep track of individual paper rolls and their stock location.
Shipment
RFID reader on the forklift verifies that correct paper rolls have been picked up for shipping.
Core Tagging
Individual cores are RFID tagged or when recycled in the factory, their data is updated.
Winder
Each core is identified as it enters the winder. The RFID data is matched up with the data in the MES.
Production tracking
As cores move on production lines the RFID events are used to track and redirect them.
Stock
Forklifts equipped with RFID keep track of individual paper rolls and their stock location.
Shipment
RFID reader on the forklift verifies that correct paper rolls have been picked up for shipping.
Solution benefits
Full stock visibility throughout supply chain
Reduction of manual errors
Visibility on cores on winder and ability to re-arrange them.
