How Can RFID Help the Food & Beverage Industry?
















RFID (Radio-frequency Identification) technology is used for tracking and identification of animate and inanimate objects using radio waves. In recent years, it has solidified its position as a potential market leader in the wireless communication technology. The great benefits that it offers to its users, have given it an edge over the other existing wireless technologies. Market analysts have observed a rapid growth in the use of RFID technology in various industries.

According to the data given by National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey,  almost one-half of the U.S population consumes alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic beverages every day. In such scenario, beverage industries have to maintain their reputation and remain competitive. They need to find efficient and reliable production and delivery methods to foster their growth. RFID technology can provide cost-effective solutions in a timely manner.

RFID technology can be utilized in the beverage supply chain. With RFID-based supply chain system, production cycles can be improved. It minimizes error by eliminating manual and paper-based methods. This way, RFID prevents distribution delays and helps in enhancing productivity of the company.

Many companies are using UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID systems to track their products efficiently. RFID tags are attached to the beverage containers before they are shipped to the retailer. It becomes a lot easy to track and identify the shipments with RFID. For wine producers, RFID is the perfect solution for tracking the distribution as RFID tags can be attached to the cork.
