RFID solution for cold store Luik Natie

Temperature-controlled warehousing specialist Luik Natie needed an automatic solution for the identification and localisation of 22.000 pallets in their new frozen storage. Because they work with 16 m high racks, the solution had to be suitable for height measurements as well. Luik Natie found the answer in Aucxis’ ATLAS solution.  

During a prior Proof of Concept, we demonstrated that our ATLAS Item Identification & Tracking solution offers an accurate and up-to-date overview of the internal logistic movements. Next, we implemented the following RFID installation:

• RFID labels for the pallets and on metal UHF RFID-tags for the racks in the cold store;
• RFID readers for the forklifts and the new reach trucks with a mast height of 12,5 m;
• Panel PC on which the driver can see and verify the data;
• The Aucxis middleware HERTZ establishes the link between the RFID equipment and the customer’s systems.

Luik Natie notes an enormous time saving when processing the products because the reach trucks now avoid driving ‘empty meters’. Furthermore, they have an automated, realtime overview of the stored products up until the highest racks at all times.
