Technology Partners
Franwell has formed successful alliances with other reliable technology companies to provide the best resources available for the successful implementation of RFID technology in supply chain industries. When it comes to our RFID systems and the integration of radio frequency technology with various software applications, the integration of middleware with our software, the choice of hardware to install and operate our systems, Franwell carefully chooses partners whom we can trust. For Franwell, partnership means more than contracted business deals, our partners represent valued relationships.

CFDR at the University of Florida
Franwell is honored to be affiliated with the scientists and researchers at the IFAS Research Center for Food Distribution and Retailing at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The CFDR is the first research center of its kind worldwide to focus on perishables food distribution and retailing.
The mission of the Center for Food Distribution and Retailing is to provide the food industry and the scientific community with a unique environment for developing knowledge that will assure food quality and safety throughout the whole distribution chain. In order to study the impact of new technologies, cultivars, or operations, it is important to approach the whole chain in a multidisciplinary way – a systems approach. With six disciplines involved: engineering, horticultural science, packaging science, food science, logistics & operations, and economics, it is possible to cover all aspects involved in a distribution chain from the growers to the retail stores. http://cfdr.ifas.ufl.edu/
