Germany-based Metro Group, one of the major retailers of the world with nearly 250,000 employees and more than 2,200 outlets in 30 countries has announced yet another major RFID project collaborating with Savi Technologies.
Entitled as Advanced Logistics Asia, the six-month project will be handled by Metro Group Buying Hong Kong (MGB Hong Kong).
The objective of this project is to monitor the approximate location and boost security of goods shipped from Asia to Europe in real-time.
The project would make use of Savi’s SaviTrak, a web-supported service to track the RFID tags on shipments to Rotterdam and onto distribution centers in Germany.
The retail giant has already announced the undertaking of dock-to-door RFID rollout at its 150 stores last month. The dock-to-door system calls for the deployment of RFID technology at the place where goods are uploaded from a truck and at the point where they enter the warehouse.
