A Case Study on Selecting AIDC Technologies by the U.S. Postal Service

Overview ICF Consulting has helped the Postal Service evaluate and select the most appropriate AIDC technology for tagging and tracking handling units and containers. ICF Consulting recommended a strategy that in the short-term combines barcode for handling units and RFID for containers. The strategy recognizes that the cost- effectiveness of RFID will improve in the long run, and RFID will some day become the AIDC of choice for handling units as well. A key element of the strategy is to closely monitor RFID technology so that the timing for adopting RFID can be determined ahead of time and proper planning can be accomplished in a timely fashion.
