Objectives
The RFID Logistics Pilot II aims to evaluate the potentials of RFID technology to increase the turnover of manufacturer and retailer through the reduction and prevention of out-of-stock at the retail store.
Main features
Officially started in February 2010, the project stems from RLP I, the first Italian example of pilot study in the field of fast moving consumer goods supply chain.
RFID Logistics Pilot II will be carried out following the innovative approach proposed in the first pilot study. 8 companies will participate to the project, although only some of them will be directly involved in providing the locations for piloting. Nonetheless, all participants will be involved in project engineering, both from a technical and from an operational point of view, in the experimental campaigns, and will share the resulting know-how.
The phases
RFID Lab at the
University of
Parma is in charge for the scientific coordination of the project, partnering with Universities and research centers adhering to the Global RF Lab Alliance (GRFLA).
The project encompass 4 main phases:
Started in February 2010, results are expected after one year, approx in February 2011.
After the RLP I, RFID Logistics Pilot II is a further step for ever-increasing ambitious RFID applications.
