RFID

Supply Chain Review reports today that the South African mining company Kumba Resources is using RFID to "track ore from blast to customer."
The RFID tech is from RFID.sa, which has developed a tag called SmartMine specifically designed to withstand a blast.
"It's perfect for mining applications as it can be read in extremely harsh environments," says company director Kevin O'Neill. "Kumba are discovering so much real time data that they only dreamt of gaining before the implementation."
Kumba Resources' pilot project to test the SmartMine solution has been nominated for the Best Pilot Award at the RFID Breakthrough Awards 2006, to be held in London on November 8th.
