RFID - Radio Frequency Identification
One of the latest tools to manage distribution is radio frequency identification. RFID is a data capture technology that uses radio frequency signals to send or receive information via a tag, attached to or inserted in an object or item, and a reader.
The notable advantages include :
- Multiple and simultaneous data reading without line of sight or manual scanning orientation
- Accurate tracking and identification of pallets and/or products
The major benefits come from:
- Better management of all links in the supply chain
- Elimination of manual time / data entry errors
- Tight control of the inventory
- Decreased stock losses
- Less cost
