RFID implementation on CC Containers is still moving full steam ahead!

The implementation of RFID in the horticultural industry is an ongoing project that is supported by a range of major stakeholders in the market.

During the upcoming labelling action, “Operation Chip It”, all 3.5m CC Containers will receive new identification tags - this time with built-in RFID. The cut-off date for the use of “untagged” CC Containers was originally set to February 1, 2010, but in response to requests for more time from the market, the cut-off date has been postponed to November 1, 2010.

The decision to defer the cut-off date was made to accommodate the industry, which is usually under a lot of pressure in the time leading up to the peak season. This will allow the CC Container users to prepare their organisations out of the peak season, where there will be more time for both the tagging operation itself, but also for the training of staff, equipment acquisition, and introduction of new procedures.

All CC Container customers will receive information regarding the labelling operation directly from Container Centralen, and can even sign up to receive online news and updates on www.operation-chip-it.com/subscribe.
