RF Genie Tackles the “Billion-Dollar Leak” in RTI Logistics with Industrial RFID
RFID-based pallet and trolley tracking eliminates losses, boosts utilization and delivers real-time visibility across supply chains
In logistics, the “billion-dollar leak” isn’t corporate drama — it’s what happens every time a pallet, crate or container disappears from the supply chain.
Returnable Transport Items (RTIs) are the silent workhorses of industrial logistics. Yet without reliable tracking, each missing asset creates hidden costs: replacement expenses, operational delays, manual searches and inaccurate inventory visibility.
RF Genie is addressing this challenge with rugged RFID solutions purpose-built for harsh industrial environments — transforming RTIs from anonymous assets into traceable, data-generating infrastructure.
From Guesswork to Lifetime Traceability
RFID turns each RTI into what RF Genie describes as a “digital birth certificate.” By tagging pallets, crates and trolleys at the source, companies move beyond simple location tracking toward capturing lifetime movement data.
Trolleys can be equipped with RF Genie’s UHF Ultron, Megatron, Optimus or Infinity Tags, securely attached via riveting or screwing for long-term durability. Designed to withstand heavy vibration during transport and mechanical shock in warehouse operations, the tags remain firmly attached and consistently readable.
With strategically placed warehouse antennas, companies gain:
Real-time location tracking of trolleys and pallets
Zone-based movement control to prevent interdepartmental misuse
Customer-assigned asset tracking to reduce theft and loss
Seamless, long-range identification for faster material handling
UHF Megatron Tag
Megatron Tag provides durable, long-range UHF RFID for demanding asset tracking.
Built for Harsh Industrial Conditions
Unlike standard RFID labels, RF Genie’s tags are engineered for demanding environments. Whether exposed to vibration, impact or intensive material handling cycles, the tags are built to stay attached and operational over extended service lifetimes.
Suitable products for RTI and pallet tracking include:
Crate Tag
Max Asset Tag
RG-12 Label
RG-15 Label
Immediate and Measurable ROI
The financial case for RFID-enabled RTI tracking is straightforward:
Stop recurring asset losses
Maximize asset utilization
Eliminate unnecessary replacements
Reduce manual search time
Improve operational transparency
By converting RTIs into digitally traceable assets, organizations gain control over inventory flow, reduce shrinkage and unlock data-driven decision-making across warehouses and distribution networks.
Stopping the Leak
In an era of increasing supply chain complexity, the cost of not knowing where assets are can escalate quickly. RFID-based RTI tracking shifts operations from reactive searches to proactive control.
