Alien Technology has completed a warehouse distribution centre system for inventory and shipment tracking for Diakinisis' warehouse distribution centre in Athens. The system uses Gen 2 Squiggle and 'M' tags and ALR-8800 readers from Alien Technology, with RFID installation services provided by Business Effectiveness, a preferred Alien Technology solution integrator. The project's focus was to achieve 100% traceability in the in-coming pallet shipments, but it was expanded to include additional benefits including the use of shelf tags to verify use of the correct storage location to automate control of outgoing shipments. Alien's Gen 2 readers and tags were specified for three separate RFID applications: Floor-mounted and shelf tags communicate to fork-lift mounted antennas and validate pickup and inventory data (Gen 2 tags are applied to the concrete floor and Alien's Squiggle tags are used on pallets and the shelves); Portals are used at the dock door to track the out-going Gen 2 tagged pallets; and trucks are tagged with RFID labels.
