Good Morning ,

I have been brainstorming , and researching about warehouse RFID and GPS systems. We have a large storage area with storage rooms. We have stacked bins of fruit. Each bin we would like to have RFID tags on them. Each storage room would hold about 1,360 bins. I have numerous questions.....

What is the price , cold temperature range ,and sensing range of disposable RFID tags ?

Is Intermec the top company for RFID Tags , or are there others ?

What about RFID readers , what companies are best ?

I imagine it is best to bring them into and manage in a industrial PLC first , like ControlLogix , Compactlogix , or Siemens S7 , correct ?

What about warehouse GPS systems, I read something about GeoFence , is their any GPS systems that work well in a warehouse setting ?

I understand that there are some RFID tags that are now being printed out , but I am sure this is new technology , correct ?

Thanks so much in advance ,
