Sirit RFID Reader Chosen for Postal Application in Finland

Posted by | May 22, 2008 | |

Sirit Inc. a provider of radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technology,
announced that the INfinity 510 (“IN510”) UHF reader was selected for
Finland’s postal delivery service RFID implementation. Readers have been
installed across the country as part of a system to monitor and quantify the
speed and accuracy of real-time postal deliveries.

Finn-ID, an auto-identification solutions provider in Finland,
developed and installed the application for the Mail Communications division
of Itella, a contract services company that manages postal deliveries in
Finland and throughout Europe. The implementation uses Sirit’s IN510 to read
Gen 2 RFID tags embedded in envelopes that are tracked throughout the entire
delivery process. Selected envelopes, which are not identifiable by postal
workers, contain an RFID tag with a unique number. As these envelopes travel
through the delivery and sorting process, the data relating to their movement
is collected and transmitted to a back-end system. The system then provides
analyses on mail routing, length of time to deliver an item and other
benchmarks relating to level of service.

Posted by | May 19, 2008 | |

DHL plans to launch regular cargo flights this month from St. Petersburg to Helsinki in cooperation with an undisclosed St. Petersburg-based operator under its planned $250 million investment in the country by 2010, Russian media reported.
The Antonov AN-26, a twin-engined light turboprop transport aircraft originally made in Ukraine, will effect 5 cargo flights a week. By 2010, the company expects to increase the number of domestic flights to seven. The freighter has the capacity to transport about 5 tons of cargo and expected to fly 2-3 tons per flight initially. If the launch of the new cargo flights turns out to be profitable, DHL might buy AN-26 from the Russian partner. The value of the freighter is estimated to about €500,000, Adrian Marley, managing director of DHL Russia, said in a statement.

DHL has been operating in Russia since 1984. The company has more than 130 offices and agencies and a fleet of more than 550 vehicles in the country.
