RFID technology help speed up the logistics tomatoes

Founded in 1899, Japanese companies VANCH RFID reader tomato processing tomato planting and processing areas have 100 years of history. Since 2010, the factory is located in Echuca, Australia's VANCH start growing and processing tomatoes, tomato supply high-quality products for Australia and other countries food enterprises. It is reported that about 20 million people in Australia, annual per capita consumption of 22kg of tomatoes processed. Since Australia for food and household items in the production and sale of consumer health and safety requirements are very strict, therefore, quality control covering VANCH tomatoes from seed management, crop product was added until the entire process of sales. Now, how to pick tomatoes and processing automation is a serious problem, and how the most efficient way to transport the tomatoes from the fields to the factory floor is the logistical challenges. Using SICK's radio frequency identification (RFID) technology not only makes VANCH to ensure product traceability, and greatly improves the efficiency of the production process.
client needs

Using RFID technology to improve efficiency rfid technology provides businesses with a variety of ways to simplify the management-related processes, in particular played an important role in traceability and process reliability. RFID technology, automatic data logging has opened up a new field, which has been used for many years in the automotive industry, namely the vehicle body paste a RFID tag, it can be the vehicle through which the encoded data is written. RFID tags can be directly read / write without visual contact with the tab, thus providing more features than barcode technology. In addition, they are very robust, it can withstand high temperatures, dirt or moisture and other harsh environmental conditions. As RFID technology continues to develop and decreased cost, and its application in the food tracking more and more widely in a large container and bulk material mixed material applications are very common.
SICK Australia in 2012 to VANCH shows SICKRFU63x read / write device. The device can be used for reusable container tracking and tracing of ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID solutions, while also providing the ability to batch detection. In addition, RFU63x intelligent system can also be used to work independently, and its integrated data processing and filtering capabilities to ensure stable read performance and read a short period.bluetooth RFID reader
January 2013, VANCH in Echuca weighbridge and unloading area installed six SICK RFU63x devices, each equipped with three antennas for identifying double cartons. Fixed to tomatoes cartons of RFID tags withstand strong, good stability, and the process starts from picking tomatoes has been associated with the use of container, so that you can avoid errors in the commodity out of the process would often occurs through RFID technology, such as quantity and quality of data inaccuracies and lack of accounting issues. RFU63x fully meet the VANCH for tomatoes paperless automatic identification requirements.
Application Effect
RFID technology can tomato source of real-time automatic identification. This allows the truck driver to get off at the weighbridge is no longer required, thereby increasing their safety. Meanwhile, the truck weighbridge takes less time, reduced from the previous 12 minutes to 2 minutes, trucks queue disappears. Because the job less time-consuming, transport efficiency doubled, truck drivers in every 12-hour rotation can run more than 1 times. That is, assuming a fleet of 12 trucks, each truck can be loaded with an average of 42 tons of tomatoes, then through RFID technology can improve productivity by 504 tons.
In short, the more reliable real-time data by means of SICK intelligent recognition technology brings, VANCH rfid reader not only greatly improve the productivity and efficiency, but also gain the ability to make the best decisions.
