Q

Where should we start?

Samuel, Boca Raton
ARFID has been successfully used for high value item (autos, freight cars, tractors, trailers, automotive components, etc.) and reusable container (tote boxes, returnables, transfer line pallets, cages) identification and tracking for years. If you produce or use similar products, RFID may be the solution for improved throughput and accuracy.
