Athelia Solutions, the air Liquide group company specialised in traceability with RFID solutions, has introduced successfully the GasFlow solution in four plants for filling bottles of butane and propane of Cepsa, as well as two external centres of manufacture and repair of bottles.

In these sectors implement the technology RFID is extremely complex because the working environments are Atex (explosive atmospheres), by the material of the assets to draw (some bottles of butane are of stainless steel and this affects material especially to radio frequency waves), and by the logistics cycle of bottles, which is quite hostile.

One of the challenges of the project was to incorporate the new Xtra-Light bottle Cepsa released at the end of 2008 to the GasFlow system. This Athelia, in addition to adapting several components of your system, designed the Induspack025 solution of packaging suitable for those bottles of composite or composite and steel. This tag is placed within the loop of plastic of the bottle, leaving them completely hidden and inaccessible to end-users but providing full traceability to the director of logistics.
