Fresh food distributor Reynolds saved £150,000 in the year following the implementation of a project to embed RFID tags into its delivery crates. The project allowed the firm to track the crates, known as totes, to customers and ask for their return, rather than writing them off or packaging deliveries in disposable plastic or cardboard material. Once the crates are returned, the tags embedded in the crates can be wiped, checked off in the ERP system, cleaned and used again. Learn how the firm tested the system to be sure it worked as expected and how the system reduces the costs of waste disposal for their customers.
