In the vast halls of the Bloemenveiling Holland flower auction, 6,000 growers generate 32,000 transactions, with orders being shipped to 2,000 buyers locally and abroad each day - all before 11:00 am. To correctly pack and ship this blossoming cargo, TI-RFid tags identify 100,000 trolleys as part of sophisticated automated logistics and tracking system. As trolleys move along miles of electric track and orders are picked, TI's RFID tags are read by antennas in the floor communicating timely data to logistics software. Personnel can pinpoint the exact location of an order, its contents, and how quickly it will arrive at the dock door for shipping.
