DHL Solutions expands RFID service to help customers across Europe

Posted by | Jun 28, 2004 | |

European customers of DHL Solutions’ logistics service now can call on the company to handle their radio-frequency identification tagging requirements. DHL this month expanded to companies across Europe its TagFIT RFID service, which it had been offering only to Metro AG’s top 100 suppliers to help them meet the retailer’s RFID-compliance mandate. Once there’s agreement on global RFID standards, DHL hopes to roll out the service to North America and China, too. “Our goal is to become the core logistics supplier for RFID services worldwide,” says Clemens Beckmann, managing director of corporate development at Deutsche Post World Net, DHL Solutions’ parent company.

Vatican post office simply saintly

Posted by | Jun 27, 2004 | |

The 109-acre Vatican, walled in against an Italy of labor strife, strikes, long lines, late trains and a maddeningly unreliable postal system, has developed a mail service over the years that is the envy of Italians. It is both fast and safe, Auerilio said, describing it as a beacon of bureaucratic success in a landscape of ineffective infrastructures. “The Italian state of mind is not to work so hard, and you can really see this in its post office,” said Dimitri Auerilio, a 48-year-old compensation-board worker. “Instead, the Vatican post office is really good. They are efficient. They get things done.” Tourists, as well as the Romans, are in on the secret. As a result, more letters are sent each year, per inhabitant, from the Vatican’s 00120 postal code than from anywhere else in the world 7,200, compared with about 660 in the United States or 109 in Italy, said Juliana Nel, a spokeswoman for the Universal Postal Union.
She called the Vatican’s service “probably one of the best postal systems in the world.”
