Awex Protects Wool Bale Integrity & Traceability WITH RFID TAGS

The Electronic Wool Bale As of July 2023, all new wool packs in Australia have been equipped with an eBale tag. In cooperation with HID, the Australian Wool Exchange (Awex) has implemented an RFID system to protect wool bale integrity and traceability. The RFID tags are attached to each wool bale and contain a unique identifier that can be read by RFID readers. The implementation of the RFID system is a major step forward for the Australian wool industry. It will help to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and security of the supply chain, and it will ultimately benefit wool growers, processors, and consumers. With the RFID tags, tracing each wool bale in Awex has become a lot simpler. Success Story powered by: the Think WIOT Group, the Australian Wool Exchange (Awex) and HID.
