RFID enabled inline crate registration system for the Delhaize New Fresh operation at Euro Pool System
With 123 million crates and 45 depots, Euro Pool System is one of the largest pool operators in Europe. Euro pool’s crates are mostly used for the transport of fresh (packed)
products, like fruit and vegetables, meat, bread, dairy products, fish and prepared meals. Euro Pool provides the crates to growers and producers, who ship their product to retail, who in turn send the empty crates back to a Euro pool depot for washing, upon which the process starts again. In 2008 Euro Pool’s crates rotated approximately 560
million times.
