Posts use RFID to monitor quality of letter post

Dear Comrades,
Twenty-one Posts have started using the Universal Postal Union's new Global Monitoring System (GMS) to evaluate the quality of their letter-post service using stateof-the-art RFID technology.The GMS is a truly global system using affordable RFID technology that is accessible to every Post,from industrialised countries and developing ones.From now until December 2009, in a first phase of the project, 530 independent panel lists from 38 countries will send 24,000 test letters containing RFID tags through 45 postal facilities worldwide. The data collected as the test letters pass through special gates will be transmitted to the UPU and used
to help postal operators identify service failures and improve operational efficiency.Posts participating in this first phase of the Global Monitoring System come from the following
countries: Aruba, Chile, Greece,India, Korea (Rep), Malaysia,Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Norway,Peru, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia,Spain, Switzerland, Togo, Tunisia,United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.This article has been taken from UNI Post&Logistic Bulletin.Please click the below link to get UNI Post&Logistic Bulletin
