Recalo manages a vast pool of over 90,000 returnable transport items (RTIs), critical for its sustainable pooling business model. However, traditional logging methods lacked transparency, leading to significant expenses from lost or unreturned containers, costly safety stocks, and production downtime. The core challenge was the inability to efficiently track RTIs in bulk, a limitation that manual barcode identification could not overcome, hindering the optimization of their services and the ability to prevent costly supply chain disruptions like Just-in-Time line standstills.
The RFID implementation ensures that all 90,000+ units are precisely tracked throughout their entire cycle. This provides constant, real-time visibility, allowing Recalo to maintain optimal stock levels for customers and prevent costly disruptions. Critically, this real-time data also enables Recalo to forecast customer RTI demand, proactively managing stock and ensuring timely availability, especially during peak seasons. The result is a highly efficient, transparent, and sustainable RTI pooling service.
Turck Vilant Systems developed a comprehensive hybrid RFID and barcode solution for Recalo. All RTIs were equipped with labels combining barcodes and UHF RFID tags, ensuring universal identification regardless of the technology used.
The system was designed for fully automatic shipping confirmation and tracking and it includes:
