Supply Chain & Logistics - Track & Trace Use Case
Where did your returnable containers actually go, and are they coming back?
Reusable pallets, totes, crates, and IBCs vanish into a black hole across shared supply chains. Losses commonly run 10 to 15% of the fleet a year. Track & Trace makes the whole loop visible and accountable.
How RFID + Track & Trace solves it

1. Rugged serialized tag
Each RTI gets a durable serialized label or RFID hard tag registered at print, surviving wash cycles and outdoor handling.
2 Portal reads on the loop
Fixed RFID portals at dock doors read whole loads hands-free on dispatch and receipt; handhelds cover yard and partner-site checks.
3. Dwell and overdue alerts
A portal read on exit logs the asset out to a destination; a return read closes the loop. Geofence and dwell rules flag stray or overdue units.

BarTender already prints your labels. Track & Trace makes the instant a serialized label prints the moment that item becomes visible, location-aware, and searchable.
