Improve your efficiency with our tracking technology
We have also invested in tracking technology on our cask and keg rental fleet. Using UHF RFIDs, we can harvest data and provide informed recommendations to improve container fleet efficiency. Scanners can be placed at strategic filling points (normally on a keg or cask filling line) allowing every passing container to be logged.
This data allows measurement of cycle time and ullage/fill failure to be captured. The interpretation of this information can improve management decisions regarding container availability and purchase.
Cost benefits of utilising tracking technology may include:
- Shortened container cycle times
- Reduction in container requirements
- Improved line efficiencies
- Lower levels of line and in trade failure
- Accurate loss rates
