Projekt:
Billing Model for the Comprehensive Use of RFID within the Beverage Industry Supply Chain
A new transfer project in collaboration with the beverage industry has been launched at LogDynamics with the objective of exploiting the potential value of RFID technology. The participating industry partners are the packaging company Logipack GmbH, the wholesaler Getränke Nordmann, and the beverage producer and bottler Stralsunder Brauerei.
The local data acquisition along the whole product life cycle is considered an important advantage of RFID technology, accessible to all participants in the supply chain network. The data can be used to generate and realise optimisation potentials in manufacturing and planning as well as in warehouse and transport control. On the other hand, the dissemination and implementation of RFID technology incurs costs, and the people who have to bear these costs are not necessarily the only beneficiaries of the new technology.
Therefore the project objective can be outlined by the question: How should the costs incurred be shared among the beneficiaries in the supply chain? The project results should flow into the Billing Model for RFID technology along the supply chain. The targeted result is: faster dissemination of this innovative solution in order to tap the full optimisation potential with regard to logistics processes.
