Tibbett & Britten to test RFID
Tibbett & Britten Americas, a unit of Tibbett & Britten Group, a U.K.-based logistics services provider, has signed a four-way partnership to test radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in a distribution center in Edmonton, Alberta.
Tibbett & Britten’s partners are IconNicholson, Raymond Corp. and the Econorack Group of Cos. The venture will design and build an RFID environment at a distribution warehouse provided by Connect Logistics, a group member of Tibbett & Britten and also a third-party logistics provider for the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission.
A portion of the warehouse will be configured with RFID hardware, tags and software, to be used with lift trucks, pallet and carton storage locations, and dock doors.
