There is even a postal RFID system that completely automates the whole process of mail delivery from accepting the package to classification and dispatching. It has been successfully tested in Korea this year. Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute ETRI demonstrated this RFID system in front of representatives from the Ministry of Information and Technology and private sector representatives.

1. RFID for Postal and Courier Services 2011-2021
In the major new report "RFID for the Postal and Courier Service", IDTechEx estimate that the global market
for RFID systems, including tags, in this sector will be $2.5 billion in 2018. It could be much bigger if current
efforts to tag individual items gain widespread acceptance. In due course, over one trillion postal items will be
tagged yearly, making this the second largest application of RFID in the world after the retail supply chain.
Detailed ten year forecasts are given plus a full explanation of the technologies. In detail, there are over 40
new case studies of RFID in action in the postal and courier service in North America, Europe, the Middle
East and East Asia. The major breakthroughs that will provide future success are discussed. Postal services
ignoring this accelerating change will become uncompetitive and suppliers missing out will regret it.
RFID is an idea whose time has come in postal, courier and high volume light logistics. In the past, RFID has
been used for little more than the evaluation of postal performance, using tags in a small percentage of letters,
and the tracking of a small number of conveyances and vehicles. No longer. From the International Postal
Corporation now monitoring mailflow with RFID in over 50 countries to Saudi Post tagging postal boxes, the
big innovations are now happening.
There is even a postal RFID system that completely automates the whole process of mail delivery from
accepting the package to classification and dispatching. It has been successfully tested in Korea this year.
Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute ETRI demonstrated this RFID system in front
of representatives from the Ministry of Information and Technology and private sector representatives.
The current postal package unified information system uses barcodes, thus necessitating human effort at every
mail center to input mail numbers into the system. This results in inaccuracies during transfer of duties and it
delays the mail dispatches. The new RFID system, developed by ETRI of Korea, aims to reduce costs, errors
and tedious human intervention. When perfected, it will provide a comprehensive electronic postal system
with the potential to maximize mail package process capabilities while minimizing logistics cost. Real-time
information automation, impossible with the existing system, is now possible, claims ETRI.
It is difficult to estimate when pervasive RFID tagging of most of the courier and letter post will occur but
RFID enabled parcels, conveyances, vehicles and trailers are now commonplace, with multiple paybacks often
being enjoyed. RFID is enhancing security and safety and removing tedious operations. Swedish Post has a
parcel that detects and records tampering using RFID and other innovations abound, including RFID cards
controlling driver access to postal vehicles and RFID enabled postal sorting equipment. Little wonder that
companies as large as Microsoft have entered the fray. The global potential is illustrated by its decision to
offer its first postal systems in Taiwan and elsewhere in East Asia.
