The quality of the logistics processes represents a decisive factor in the overall success of any company. This quality is therefore continuously put to the test.
In order to make decisions for tomorrow, innovative quality research is a prerequisite.
It provides the measures and standards with which processes are optimised and decisions effectively maintain an established basis.
However, the results of quality research are invariably only as good as the methods and technologies used for collecting the results. For this reason, the use of transponder technologies (Radio Frequency Identification - RFID) in the field of quality research is increasing from year to year.
"Learn more about the fields of application of RFID in quality research here."
In the field of RFID, there is a fundamental distinction made between active and passive transponders. Both technologies have their advantages and disadvantages. Which technology is preferred primarily depends on the field of application of the transponders and on the underlying question.
Within the scope of logistics problems, different fields of application exist for active and passive transponders.
Both passive as well as active transponder systems are available for measuring the first and last mile. Due to their longer range, the active transponders have prevailed for carrying out measurements in sorting centres.
