Thermoplastic compounds company Aurora Plastics has boosted its resin-unloading and yard-management efficiency, while also preventing unloading errors, by deploying a radio frequency identification solution. Aurora Plastics develops and manufactures polymer compounds customized for a variety of applications and sells its plastic compounds across the United States and Canada, as well as in export markets. Each year, the firm unloads more than 100 million pounds of PVC resin from railcars at its Streetsboro, Ohio plant. Learn how the firm is using RFID technology to prevent costly mistakes in the process of off-loading plastic resin as well as providing visibility into the railcars and the products they carry as they enter and leave the yard.
