Multi-location warehouse operation solves metal labeling challenge without infrastructure overhaul

A major logistics company with multiple warehouse facilities has successfully implemented PMG Works on Metal RFID labels, dramatically improving inventory management and container tracking across metal surfaces – a persistent challenge in the industry.

The Metal RFID Challenge

The logistics sector has long struggled with RFID implementation on metal surfaces. Traditional RFID labels experience significant performance degradation when applied to wire mesh containers, metal shelving, and transport containers, resulting in:

  • Severely limited read ranges
  • Inconsistent data transmission
  • Increased manual processing requirements
  • Higher operational costs

Breakthrough Implementation

The logistics company deployed PMG's specialized metal-compatible RFID solution across their warehouse network without requiring modifications to existing infrastructure. The implementation focused on improving the tracking of pallets, containers, and metal storage systems.

Measurable Results

Following deployment, the company reported significant operational improvements:


  • Inventory Processing: Dramatic reduction in inventory cycle times
  • Read Range: Reliable detection capability over several meters
  • Environmental Performance: Consistent operation in dusty, confined warehouse conditions
  • System Integration: Seamless compatibility with existing warehouse management systems

Industry Impact

"The PMG Works on Metal RFID label has noticeably accelerated our warehouse processes," stated a company representative. "Metal readability was previously our biggest problem – now everything runs stable and reliable."


The solution addresses a widespread industry challenge, with applications extending across manufacturing, retail, and distribution sectors where metal container and shelf labeling is essential for supply chain visibility.

Technology Applications

The metal-compatible RFID technology is particularly relevant for:

  • Wire mesh container tracking
  • Metal shelving inventory systems
  • Transport container management
  • Industrial equipment labeling
  • Multi-location warehouse coordination

Market Availability

PMG continues to offer consultation services and test samples for organizations seeking to implement metal-compatible RFID solutions in their operations.
The development represents a significant advancement in warehouse automation technology, eliminating the need for costly workarounds that have historically complicated RFID deployment in metal-rich environments.
