Everything at a glance!
Want positive traceability of your kegs as well as improved quality assurance? Looking for solutions to improve the scheduling and monitoring of your kegs’ maintenance and service intervals? BLEFA’s keg management services not only cover perfect traceability for your stainless steel kegs and improved quality performance.
BLEFA stainless steel kegs also come with a 2D barcode as standard and you can also equip them with a low-frequency (LF) tag or an ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID tag. The benefit of UHF beyond what lasered codes offer is that they can capture a full stack of kegs on a forklift all in one go. The real strength of UHF tags, therefore, lies especially in reverse logistics, i.e. when distributors return kegs and you quickly need to identify which of the kegs really belong to you and for how many kegs you are prepared to pay deposit refunds.
The data you gather helps you record the details of your entire keg fleet precisely, optimize turnaround times, and compile accurate maintenance schedules. Simple, practical, and clear!
2D MATRIX CODE
You can choose whether to have the 2D matrix code for your stainless steel keg applied as a sticker or as a laser etching. This way, the 2D code goes everywhere your stainless steel keg goes. This setup enables you to manage your beverage containers with ease and accuracy. The sticker’s barcode complies with the international code standard Data Matrix ECC200.
With the 2D matrix barcode from BLEFA BEVERAGE SYSTEMS, you decide what data should be captured when the barcode on the stainless steel keg is scanned.

LF/UHF RFID
Our automatic identification solution with LF/UHF RFID tag technology proves particularly efficient when the tags pass through reading bridges.

This makes light work of delivery and shipment of your kegs and guarantees quick capture and processing of logistics data, even when large quantities of stainless steel kegs are involved.
