Correos Chooses RFID Anywhere to Improve Process Quality Control
and Consignment Traceability DALLAS, RFID World 2007, March 26
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sybase iAnywhere today announced that
Correos, the Spanish Postal Service, has deployed its RFID
Anywhere(TM) software platform in one of the largest RFID projects
in Europe. Using RFID Anywhere, Correos has introduced a radio
frequency control system, called Q-RFID, in 16 Automated Processing
Centers (APCs) throughout Spain and in four other bulk Admission
Centers, enabling the company to ensure quality control and the
traceability of postal deliveries. "The use of RFID Anywhere
enhances Correos' competitiveness as a result of more efficient
management of postal processes and an improvement in the quality of
its services," said Regina Defarges, organizational deputy
director, Correos. "We're proud to be the forerunner in the use of
RFID technology in the postal industry." Correos' successful
implementation of one of the largest RFID projects in Europe
highlights the potential of RFID solutions. The state-controlled
company required its RFID solution to be integrated into the
Correos computer systems, resulting in the purchase of 13,000
passive electronic labels and installation of more than 2,300
permanent antennas and over 331 readers for the 16 APCs and the
additional Admission Centers. The RFID Anywhere-powered solution
gives Correos the ability to monitor the status and transit time of
a letter at each stage of the delivery process, allowing the
company to oversee the entire process and adopt corrective measures
when a fault is detected in the system. Correos is one of the
earliest to use RFID technology to comply with the standards set by
the European Union (ETSI EN 302 208-1 and EPC GEN 2) and to be
approved at the state level by the Ministry of Industry, Tourism
and Trade. "The postal industry provides an excellent example of
how RFID technology can increase process efficiencies resulting in
improved delivery times and streamlining of operating procedures,"
said Martyn Mallick, director of RFID Technologies, Sybase
iAnywhere. "Correos chose RFID Anywhere for its superior ability to
coordinate a vast number of RFID readers in a dense environment and
to integrate business logic and processes with the latest automatic
data collection and sensor technologies." To learn more about RFID
Anywhere, please visit the Sybase iAnywhere RFID World 2007 booth

will be speaking on "Tracking Mixed-Value Assets: The Business Case
and Technology Requirements," on Tuesday, March 27 at 3:30 PM. To
