Digia delivers remote identification system to Yara fertiliser plant

Digia has delivered a remote identification system to the Uusikaupunki
fertiliser plant of Yara Suomi Ltd. 

This project involved piloting remote identification technology (RFID) through
production lines for the bagging up and collection of large fertiliser sacks. 

"The number of collection errors fell considerably, and operations speeded up.
For example, it was possible to enter broken sacks into the system directly
with the help of manual terminals. The pilot project proved that RIFD
technology is ideal for our purposes", comments Olli Saarinen, Material
Handling Supervisor at Yara. 

"Digia has delivered several RFID solutions, in which the data content of RFID
is utilised seamlessly in ERP systems, e.g. in trade and logistics. This pilot
will reinforce Digia's position, especially as an RFID solution provider for
production companies", says Vice President Roy Nurmi of Digia. 

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a method of so-called intelligent
transport, whereby information can be read and saved remotely.
