Tuesday, December 9, 2008

Zetes, a Belgian-based provider of automatic identification solutions including RFID-enabled systems, has announced the recent successful implementation of a supply chain traceability soltion for Campofrio, one of Spain’s leading producers of processed meats.

Zetes’s Spanish subsidiary partnered with ImageID to create the solution, which tracks pallets and packaging throughout a Campofrio processing plant and as shipments are distributed. Data captured by the tracking system is compared with each client’s order and plant operators are notified of any discrepancy or indication that a shipment is not correctly palleted.
