METRO Group Achieves 99% RFID Pallet Tag Read Rates

METRO Group, the world's third-largest retailer and an RFID pioneer announced the implementation of RFID readers and tags at METRO Group's largest and busiest distribution center in Germany. With more than 50,000 pallets read to date, METRO has 99% tag read-rates, as well as complete compliance with ETSI radio standards for operation in Europe.
The distribution center is equipped with Intermec IF5 Intelligent RFID readers and RFID tags powered by Intermec. RFID is a complement to the current bar code-based tracking systems. RFID automatic data collection typically does not require line of sight or manual scanning as do most bar code-based systems.
