OTTO выбирает 13.56 MHz


Для справки, OTTO - после Amazon самый большой игрок посылочной торговли.

During the trial, OTTO had used tags from German RFID specialist X-ident.

In March, however, when its initial order of labels was nearly used up, Otto took the opportunity to test and deploy similar tags from RAKO instead. "We always look for second-source suppliers, and switching label suppliers was also an interesting technical issue to test," says Nickerl.

The new labels were tested in parallel with the existing tags. The switch in supplier also meant a lower per-label cost, and while the company won't reveal the exact price it pays for each label, Nickerl says it is less than €0.30.

The RFID-enabled labels, which operate at 13.56 MHz, are being placed on small, valuable goods like digital cameras or mobile phones. The labels, programmed by a Zebra RFID printer-encoder, are applied manually to the outside packaging of items inside the Otto warehouse, before they are placed in a secure caged area. The items are then stored, picked and packed.
