•Case Study: JR Freight Improves Operating Efficiencies With Intermec RFID Technology
for a destination by rail, chances are it is traveling with JR Freight. The railcars that JR Freight moves around the country are a familiar sight across the Japanese landscape.
Railway transportation in Japan is regaining its value in part because it operates so much more cleanly than a fleet of trucks, which has problem of exhaust and nitrogen oxide. To meet the growing transport needs of Japan's businesses, JR Freight maintains more than 120 terminals in Japan, managing 8,000 rail wagons and 100,000 railway containers.
Cargo moves from stop to stop in a freight line running north and south on Japan's four main islands. At each stop, steel containers ranging in size from 12-feet rail containers to 30-feet freight containers are off-loaded from the railcars and stacked in rows 30 to 40 deep and one or two high. Keeping track of hundreds – even thousands – of containers has involved tedious, time-consuming manual labor.
