Ozburn-Hessey Logistics Launches RFID-Enabled Distribution Network

On July 1, Ozburn-Hessey Logistics launched a fully integrated RFID-enabled distribution network at its Dallas Regional Distribution Campus.

According to Yahoo! Finance:

"Anchored by OHL's RFID Compliance Center located within that company's Dallas Regional Distribution Campus, the RFID-integrated distribution network will serve three of Wal-Mart's Distribution Centers all within 60 miles of OHL's campus. At the Compliance Center, all pallets and cases are RFID-tagged using a 64-bit Electronic Product Code (EPC), a 24-bit Object Class Code and a 36-bit Serial number operating in the UHF frequency range and are Class 1 compliant. OHL will upgrade to the Class 2 standard once available.

"According to Bob Spieth, CIO of OHL, the RFID Compliance Center is networked with OHL's WMS, thereby allowing the Company to offer a fully- integrated RFID solution to its customer."
