From a press release:
SoBran, Inc., a leader in advanced warehousing support and services, today was awarded a multi-million dollar contract by the Social Security Administration (SSA), to manage three Maryland warehousing facilities -- shipping, receiving, inventory, distribution and administrative services for millions of pieces of critical information, spread throughout. ...

Using an innovative Radio Beacon Warehouse Management System (WMS), radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and readers, scan tunnels and portals, hand held wireless bar code scanners and related technologies, the team will oversee the movement and storage of benefit payment and services forms, publications and other information serving millions of Americans.

The SSA stores much of these materials and other assets in its main Supply Building warehouse, an 80,000-square-foot building at SSA headquarters in Baltimore, MD, and in two nearby supporting warehouses, a total of 380,000 square feet and more than 25,000 bin locations. The three locations process approximately 100,000 to 130,000 line items each year with an average daily volume of approximately 416 line items.
