Beer Keg Management

Overview

Effective keg management is mission critical for any brewery, regardless of size. OKAYID could supply the keg management solution to return your kegs to the brewery faster. This allows you to meet increasing production needs using fewer kegs. You can focus those savings on growing your brewery and your brand.

UHF RFID TRANSPONDERS FOR TAGGING CURVED METAL

RETURNABLE TRANSPORT ITEMS

- Durable – built to withstand the rigors of reusable container processing

- Enhanced efficiency – enable simultaneous reading of multiple containers,

decreasing processing time while increasing accuracy

- Optimized – specifically designed for tagging metal kegs and cylinders

Keg Tag transponders enhance the inventory tracking and lifecycle management of cylindrical returnable transport items (RTI), such as beverage

kegs, chemical drums and gas cylinders.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology from HID Global can help improve operational efficiency, while ensuring safe container transport

and return. Anti-collision technology speeds processing, allowing readers to

communicate with multiple tags in a single pass. At the same time, information

stored in each RFID tag empowers more accurate, efficient asset management.

Keg Tag transponders mount via welding on steel kegs. The RFID tags are built

to withstand rigorous washing and sterilization processes, including the

use of caustic soda. Durable, double injected, full plastic housings guard the

enclosed electronics against exposure to liquids and harsh chemicals, as

well as fluctuations in temperature.

OKAYID RFID (UHF) transponders enable real-time inventory, while slashing

processing time. HID UHF Keg Tag devices allow accurate accounting of entire pallets

– even full truckloads – of containers in seconds. The unique design is optimized

to facilitate reliable inventory tracking amidst a dense field of objects, even

when items are filled with liquids. Each container can be counted and identified

as a truck pulls away from a distribution center, and again when the truck arrives

at its destination. This enables full visibility not only in the warehouse, but also during

transportation and on customer sites.

OKAYID RFID / NFC combo tags extend the potential applications by combining

the best of both worlds. Long-distance logistic applications in the warehouse,

and simple user interaction via mobile phone at the consumer / recipient side.

The durable housings of each HID UHF keg transponder are slightly curved, for optimal fit on round surfaces.
