G2 tags for RTI

Tagging plastic trays is one of the challenging areas in case level tagging. Tags are normally located very close to each other which usually has a significant influence on performance.

Handling of plastic trays requires high durability against mechanical wearing and resistance to humid and high temperature

Due to the high requirements of the environment UPMRaflatac offers an superior In Mold tag solution for new trays. Existing trays can be tagged by Retrofit tag solution in order to ease the adoption of RFID

RFID Tagging of Plastics

What is the Short Term Impact on Plastics

-Case-like Plastic Containers will be Tagged

-Returnable Plastic Assets will be In-Mold Tagged

-Plastics Housings for Expensive Components will be In-Mold Tagged

-Existing Returnable Assets will need Tagging

-Pallet Shrink Wrap Trash will have Tags

What is the Long Term Impact on Plastics

-Molders will be asked to In-Mold tag All Containers

-RPC will have a permanent GRAI and password changeable SSCC

-RFID Tag Cost will Approach Bottle Cost

-In-moldLabels will have RF Tags Embedded

-Everywhere tags are handled, validation occurs

-Most Recycled Plastic will still have RFID

-RFID can be used for Recycle Auto-Sorting

RFID Tagging of Plastics

Recycling Considerations:-Business Case Drivers (Out of Stock, Warranty, Self Checkout) required RFID tags near impossible for consumers to remove

-IMT RFID and RPC will have essentially the same life span

-IMT RFID will require "milling" to remove

-Economics will likely drive IMT RFID on bottles

-Grinding of Recycle will make RFID tags unremovable by specific gravity

-Is there a technology to remove In-Mold Labels today?

Business case in theory- How about in practice

Things heard in the industry 80-100 processes RFID has influence on - Best Buy Double digit increase in turnover in the pilot stores - M&S 90% of the "red lights" are caused by not received or faulty EDI

dispatch advice. - Metro In most of the OOS situations we know we have the goods, we

just don't know where?- Wal*Mart We know the technology is not 100% at the moment however

we are 100% sure that we need it. - Wal*Mart Items selling 1 – 15 units / day will have up to 30 %

improvement in out of stock – University of Arkansas
