Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Tracking CDs in Real Time

Overview Stora Enso, a global paper and packaging company based in Helsinki, Finland, had an innovative packaging solution, called Discbox Slider, which folds cardboard to create CD cases and then inserts the CDs and booklets. It also had a happy customer in CD-Linja, a Finnish company that produces CDs and DVDs. What Stora Enso and its customer lacked was visibility of the CDs as they traveled by truck between the two companies' facilities. So they adopted an innovative RFID system that could be extended to a retail outlet.
