Embed an RFID inlay inside both the print cartridge and the printer. Before opening the seal, the printer’s RFID reader senses the cartridge’s RFID tag and displays a message on either the PC which is attached to the printer ,or on its own display (if it has one).

Something like one thousand parts (amongst the several thousands that a plane has), are very expensive and critical to operations. These parts can be easily tracked using RFLD.

The RFID solution could be of many types. One could be just replacing the photo badges with RFLD proximity cards which require to be held close to door locks or other access control devices. These access control devices would have to be networked to a central computer to collect data on which cards moved through which gates.

Background:

Retail industry including procurement, storage, package, handling, transportation, distribution, sales and service, which is a whole supply chain linked together. Companies must be in real-time and accurately grasp the changes in business flow, logistics, information flow and capital flow. RFID technology can bring enormous benefits for retailers and suppliers and customers; it makes the supply chain system much more simple and easier, automatic tracking goods' status in an efficient way. In addition, RFID also provides advanced data collection methods to facilitate customer transactions, and efficient ways of operating, fast and insightful strategic decisions and more benefits which bar code technology cannot replace.
