Radio Frequency Identification Technology for Logistics, Tagging and EPC

Motorola, Y3 team up

Friday, May 9, 2008

Motorola and Y3 technologies have formed a strategic alliance to produce RFID solutions for Singapore-based YCH Group, an Asia-based supply-chain firm.

The partnership exploits the two companies’ respective strengths: Motorola’s record of developing innovative RFID products and technologies, and Y3 Technologies’ experience in designing and implementing advanced supply-chain applications. The partnership began informally in 2004 when Y3 Technologies began using Motorola equipment in its systems and has evolved steadily from that client-vendor relationship. Y3 is now officially designated a “Motorola Premier Business Partner.”

YCH Group has indicated a belief in the necessity of RFID solutions to streamline its logistics and warehouse projects, and has already announced warehouse construction projects using the systems resulting from the Motorola-Y3 partnership [end]
