Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) will be one of the key technologies for logistics in the future. With more than 7 million kegs equipped with RFID transponders in more than 80 breweries, AEG ID presents the benefits and ROI calculation based on the “Return on invest for a RFID-based keg identification system in the German brewery industry," done by the Research Institute for Management and Beverage Logistic (FIM) of VLB Berlin, Germany. The study provides a quantification of economic potentials of RFID systems for container identification. AEG ID showcases answers to the crucial questions such as: how many kegs do I own, where are my kegs, when do I need to maintain the keg, what deposit is on this specific keg, when was each keg filled and what is inside, and how can I increase the circulations of my kegs? Learn how you can easily upgrade your existing filling lines with RFID technology that not only helps you to improve your internal processes such as maintenance and production control, but also saves you money within a short time. Based on a calculation tool developed together with all partners in the brewery production process, the experts of AEG ID can provide you the ROI on the RFID investment in your brewery. Interested in upgrading your beer quality and production and logistic processes?
