”Transrussia” Trade Exhibition, Moscow, 27-30 April. Section 20, Exhibition Hall 1   VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has been studying freight traffic between Russia and Finland. The results indicate that the improvement of freight traffic requires the development of logistics information processes and an increased degree of automation. The introduction of RFID remote identifier systems would benefit the entire supply chain, customers, and also the work of authorities at the border between the two countries. Development will require cooperation and agreement on the use of various different standards and applications.
