Drigel - tomorrow

DRIGEL ®: RFID- IT-solutions for beverage logistics. Eight companies, working successfully for
several years in the beverage industry, grouped together under the cooperative DRIGEL®.
Our aim is to offer IT-solutions for logistics in an effi cient and fl exible working manner by
concentrating know-how. In order to achieve this, working processes in manufacturing and
trading companies are optimised.

As a result, company resources are concentrated, work expenditure for outbound goods
receipt, commissioning, loading, controlling are all optimised and quality is improved. For example,
the security of consignment can be increased and the requirements from the supply-chain-management and batch tracing are almost completely covered. To reach this target, DRIGEL®
offers in particular, the RFID-/smart label technology as a method for identifi cation of beverage
crates and pallets. The range of service offered by DRIGEL® includes individual consulting,
solutions which consider the economical and technical requirements of the customer, the
necessary hardware and software and its implementation as well as maintenance service.

Here is a summary of advantages of using the DRIGEL-cooperation:

• Goods labelled with RFID-tags are clearly identifi ed, localised and memorised -

not only in-store but also at point of sale;

• Help to create more precision in store-capacities, aiming for more security in planning

and calculating of goods in-store. Minimising areas for error;

• New services are possible, e.g. temperature control during transportation;

• Precision on timing and way of crate travel outside of store;

• Use of market-data from RFID-technology for improved customer knowledge;

• Permanent paperless stocktaking or stocktaking on a qualifying day made possible.
