UPS in the Same RFID Boat as Everyone Else

Filed in archive Tags and Readers by Anita Campbell on September 29, 2004

Is your company challenged by this rapidly evolving RFID landscape?

An article by Elena Malykhina in Information Week highlights how United Parcel Service (UPS) is experiencing the same kinds of challenges in this rapidly-developing RFID market as everyone else.

UPS, which delivers 13.6 million packages per day in the U.S. and around the world, has been using Active RFIDlinks tags for 15 years on trailers to monitor their movement in and out of distribution centers. Recently it began to look at passive RFID tags and lower-cost RFID readers that support the first-generation Class 0 and 1 industry standards. UPS plans to move on to more advanced, multiprotocol readers.

Quoting UPS spokesperson Bob Nonneman the article notes:
"The industry today changes a lot and it seems that every quarter there are new releases by vendors, always improving their products. This is a good thing, but trying to manage that constant cycle of change is difficult," he says. "It could be a challenge to someone like UPS, undergoing pilots and projects, because by the time you get something up and running there's already a new product on the market."
