IBM is implementing a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based solution for Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd to track LPG cylinders from bottling plant to the end-consumer. The $2.2-million (Rs 98 crore) pilot project being implemented at HPCL's Nashik plant is one of the largest implementations in India for RFID-based tracking solution and involves infrastructure services, business consulting and middleware solution from IBM. IBM will design, deploy and integrate the RFID solution, which will streamline the process of identification of LPG cylinders during bottling, distribution and supply chain and is expected to cover 5 lakh cylinders in the pilot phase. The company aims to roll out this solution to 42 other plants besides extending it to dealers for integrated supply chain.
