RFID systems provider ADT, Finnish logistics company Salpomec and RFID tag maker UPM Raflatac have opened an Apparel Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Solution Center in Lahti, Finland. At the facility, companies interested in deploying RFID technology to enhance supply chain management, fight counterfeiting or improve in-store retail operations, or for other applications, can watch demonstrations of numerous RFID solutions. These include source tagging, automated goods receipt, an RFID-based sorting system, replenishment and store inventory management and point-of-sale analytics and security. During the center's first year of operation, the facility's founding companies expect to provide tours to 100 garment manufacturers, brand owners, retailers and logistics providers. Visits can be arranged by e-mailing ADT, Salpomec or UPM Raflatac.
