Bag packaging and palletising adopts RFID

Radio frequency identification technology is now being offered by Beumer Group of Beckum, Germany, as a feature of its bagging systems. The company is using both active and passive second-generation RFID tags which provide the ideal means for continual stock monitoring and tracing of goods. Traditional barcode systems will remain an option for product identification and these can be used in conjunction with RFID. www.beumer.com
