Kegflow is a proven RFID Radio Frequency Identification tag driven keg cask tracking and management solution. It was created by the Athelia Portinox and Kegspertise Kegspertise was acquired by Athelia an Air Liquide Company in March this year. Kegflow is a comprehensive scalable and powerful solution that has been developed specifically with brewers needs in mind. It enables brewers to realise true return on investment from the tracking and managing of their valuable supply chain assets. It is a solution that delves deep into brewers processes. For example the solution calculates ongoing cycle times so that you can forecast keg and cask purchase accurately. Clever tracking technology pinpoints asset losses and loss rate trends. Kegflow is fully automated using RFID tags and scanners so no manual intervention is required at the scanning tag level. Specially developed bulk scanning technology allows the system to read entire trailers full of kegs with over 99 accuracy. This happens transparently and automatically every time a trailer goes through a warehouse gate. The system is updated with quality data continuously without the need to tap into labour extensive processes. Kegflow offers actionable game changing information that accurately informs decision making. Its cloud-based software solution has a dashboard that can be easily configured to suit personal needs whether you are in Finance Production Sales or Planning. The solution can be integrated with all ERP systems. It comes with a comprehensive suite of software modules with the option to extend the system into areas such as maintenance customer service and product recall. Its highly intelligent intuitive and easy to use format is so popular that some clients are requesting bespoke modules of their own outside of the realms of keg tracking. Clients such as Molson Coors and Carlsberg UK are already advocates of the system and are taking advantage of its benefits. Neil Harrison Head of Primary Logistics at Carlsberg UK said Our containers are a costly and valuable resource and we needed an accurate solution that would improve our ability to manage them. Kegflow is a robust reliable and importantly scalable RFID solution. The system provides plentiful and accurate data which we will continue to build on in the future. The team were also excellent at ensuring the solution would complement our existing barcode system which we are now migrating to RFID. Athelia Managing Director Conversin Magro said Our mobile asset tracking systems track 15 million industrial assets on a daily basis bringing our clients not only efficiency but also unprecedented visibility on their operations. Brewers can be confident that we will be able to achieve results for them regardless of their fleet size.
