Italian scooters and baby diapers could have a common link soon: embedded RFID tags tracking their whereabouts.
IBM plans to announce Wednesday that it has won two new customers for its radio frequency identification tracking software–an Italian subsidiary of Honda Motor and packaging maker Pliant.
Honda Italia Industriale, which sold 12.7 million scooters last year, plans to use RFID chips and IBM software to track motorcycle parts and tools circulating within its manufacturing plant in Atessa, Italy.
Pliant, based in Schaumburg, Ill., will sell a new RFID-embedded plastic wrap to consumer-goods companies that want to detect any tampering of their products in transit from manufacturer to distributor. Pliant is using IBM’s software to keep track of RFID-marked cargo–everything from cereal boxes to diapers–in the warehouse.
