The 2D-Barcode of Franke Beverage Systems can be applied as a permanent label or as a laser-etching on every keg. The label has the dimension 25 x 25 mm. The internationally recognized code type of our labels and Laser code is: Data Matrix ECC 200. The barcode applies to the production of new kegs and kegs serviced by Franke Keg Service and provides:
- a clear traceability
- a sustainable quality assurance system

The immediate identification with the transponder technology „UHF-RFID“ is particularly well suited when the transponder is being scanned from static reading devices. RFID-Tags enable a
- touch-less scanning of kegs
- protection of brands and customer assets
- bulk scanning “truckloads”

The transponder system from our partner VisibiliTy ® allows you to scan a larger scale of kegs (bulk) on a truck. This system is especially suited for:
- Identification of full loads to warehouses or distributors and track return keg shipments
- provides full pallet scanning even if kegs are stacked

To actively track each keg no matter where the keg is, worldwide GPS technology can be used, providing
- a complete global keg tracking system
- a way to determine the actual location of your kegs at any time
- Accurate keg fleet planning
- Maintenance management
- Clear identification of a keg and its specific configuration (type, fittings, neck, etc ...)
- Information about beer type, shelf life, FIFO warehouse management
- Supply chain management
- Minimize keg losses
