Under K-C's manual tracking system, it could take up to three hours for workers to locate a specific trailer at the Beech Island site, which has five separate lots for trailer storage. It now takes minutes to locate a trailer using the RFID-based system. From a labor savings and productivity standpoint, Mingerink claims, the return on investment K-C stands to realize from the technology is clear. K-C is using the Yard Hound trailer-tracking platform from PINC Solutions, based in Berkeley, Calif. A passive EPC Gen 2-compliant RFID tag is attached to each of the roughly 900 trailers within the facility's yard at any particular time, and a network of fixed and mobile readers is used to identify the trailers.
