Educational Resources Highlight Innovations in Supply Chain Monitoring and Environmentally Responsible RFID Solutions
Pittsburgh, PA, August 21, 2024 – AIM,the leading industry association with over 50 years of innovation, standards, and solutions in automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technologies, proudly announces the release of two new educational resources created by the RFID Experts Group and Visibility Technologies Industry Group. These whitepapers provide essential insights for the AIDC community, focusing on environmental sensors in the supply chain and sustainable practices for RFID tag recycling.
Understanding Sensors for the Supply Chain
This whitepaper developed by the RFID Experts Group, explores the vital role environmental sensors play in modern supply chains. Covering key metrics such as temperature, moisture, light, vibration, and food ripeness, the resource details how these sensors are essential for enhancing operational efficiency, maintaining compliance, and ensuring traceability across diverse industries. The whitepaper offers practical guidance on selecting sensors that meet specific operational needs while considering environmental and regulatory factors.
Marty Johnson, Senior Manager of Product Management at Zebra Technologies, emphasized the significance of this whitepaper as a resource for valuable insights to anyone seeking to optimize their supply chain monitoring: “As organizations increasingly recognize the need to monitor environmentally sensitive products throughout the supply chain, it becomes crucial to understand the variety of sensors and monitoring solutions available today.”
Guidance for Improving RFID Tag Recycling and Disposal
With growing concerns over e-waste and evolving regulations, the Visibility Technologies Industry Group has produced a whitepaper addressing the challenges and opportunities surrounding RFID tag recycling and disposal. The resource delves into the complexities of managing RFID tags, which consist of materials that require specialized recycling processes. It also explores innovations like sustainable materials, design-for-deconstruction principles, and collaborative efforts aimed at improving RFID recyclability.
Mary Lou Bosco, CEO of AIM, highlighted the importance of sustainability within the industry: “As sustainability becomes a global imperative, the RFID sector must take proactive steps to reduce its environmental impact. This whitepaper offers actionable solutions for advancing environmentally responsible practices in our industry.”
