TNT Thinks RFID Is Dynamite...

Auto parts stored in a TNT warehouse in Michigan must be delivered to the assembly line on time, in precise quantities. In a first-phase deployment completed in three months over the summer, TNT installed RFID readers at loading docks and tagged the reusable containers that transport parts to the assembly line. TNT used Tibco RFID Interchange software to integrate with its supply chain applications.

"I have a manifest for which containers go with which load and to which plant," says TNT technology services director Terry Tutt. TNT now scans containers as they're loaded, verifying that the right parts are going to the right location. In a second phase now underway, TNT will provide the manufacturer with real-time information on the location of parts through a portal.
