Inspecting meatpacking plants doesn’t sound Glamorous. Especially not when your warehouse comes under fire for churning out rotten meat. But RFID is being tested to improve supply chain operations in this area, too, reports RFID Journal.

Established in mid-2006, the three-year project FreshScan project is still in the conceptual phase.
