40 New Case Studies of RFID in Food and Livestock Management Today

"Research and Markets has announced the addition of RFID Food and Livestock Case Studies to their offering This major new report provides, for the first time, no less than forty detailed case studies of RFID in action in food and livestock. "At last readers can see what is really going on - where mistakes have been made and successes achieved." says Dr Peter Harrop, team leader on the project. There are 33 studies of RFID on food for tracking, tracing, monitoring condition and even on supermarket shelves and for payment in restaurants. The tags appear on item level packaging, pallets, trays, cases, trolleys, beer kegs, intermodal containers, air Unit Load Devices (ULDs), heavy logistics devices, trucks, trailers, and for hopper access and site access in these studies. Seven case studies cover RFID on or in livestock including cattle, ostriches, sheep, reindeer, fish and pigs. The report also gives a grounding in the new forms of RFID, relevant needs in the food industry and future trends." Source: Research and Markets via businesswire.com
