What's New?
UPS is introducing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology across its entire U.S. small package network, becoming the first major U.S.-based logistics provider to implement this technology on such a broad scale.

Por qué es importante:
This innovative shift moves UPS from a scanning network to a sensing network, so packages are tracked automatically as they travel through our system. That means UPS Healthcare customers will have even more visibility and reliability for critical healthcare shipments.

RFID sensing delivers clear benefits to UPS Healthcare customers in the U.S. without adding additional work. There’s no need to learn new technology or invest in more systems. UPS takes care of the complexity behind the scenes, making advanced visibility both simple and effortless.

Here’s what that means for you:

• Pickup confirmation: RFID pickup sensing confirms a package has been picked up and is in UPS’s possession.
• Better visibility: Packages are automatically sensed as they move through the network, giving you a clearer view of where shipments are and how they’re progressing.
• Faster response: With more complete data, UPS can respond more quickly when conditions change, including weather and other unexpected events.

RFID is already at work across the UPS network, integrated into all UPS U.S. package delivery vehicles and facilities nationwide, as well as packages shipped from more than 5,500 The UPS Store® locations, including customer returns.
