Material flow management
Managing material flow is essential part of the manufacturing process. Was it chemicals needed for painting process or pulp bales for paper industry, RFID enabling the flow increases the cost-efficiency and accuracy in the process.
Pulp & Paper
Confidex RFID products meet the unique requirements of the manufacturing processes in the pulp and paper industry. For example, when RFID tags are attached into the pulp bales the tags’ materials need to be pulpable in the pulping process and create no effects on the further papermaking process. RFID-enabling pulp bales or paper reels improves the inventory management and generates savings by minimizing buffer inventories.
