Rental Company Raises Efficiency, Accuracy With RFID

Alvero Kantoormeubelverhuur B.V. has a complex product offering: thousands of different types of furniture, which are sent around Germany and the Netherlands, and are then returned at varying times for servicing and another rental. After more than a decade of exploring RFID-based solutions to bring visibility to this process, the company has adopted a passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID system to track its rental furniture as it is received, and again as it is delivered to customers. According to the company, the solution not only makes the loading of rental equipment destined for customers more efficient, but also prevents errors.
