Looking to improve the monitoring and management of its operations, Australia Post is set to track special RFID-tagged test envelopes as they are processed by its domestic mail service. The system uses the same technology the mail carrier has already deployed to track its international mail operations.

Australia Post is in the process of deploying more than 400 RFID interrogators (readers) from Lyngsoe Systems at mail sorting and distribution locations across the country. It will also use 12,500 active tags, also from Lyngsoe, and is set to go into operation in January. The tags and readers are part of Lyngsoe's AMQM mail-quality measurement system, which incorporates its QSM software and is intended to help Australia Post store and analyze RFID-generated mail-tracking data.
