RFID Making Inroads into the Supply Chain

Although RFID is a new phenomenon in the supply chain industry, it has made significant inroads into the system. RFID is already being used in many successful applications outside and inside the supply chain. Many organizations are working on industrializing the applications, expanding their rollout and leveraging the real-time. They also collect the detailed data that is available from tracking inventory across the supply chain. Not surprisingly, these same companies are now the leaders in these early days of the growth phase.

Read my previous post titled “RFID Solutions for Warehouse Management” to know how RFID is being used in warehouse management system.

During the growth phase, several factors must work together simultaneously to ultimately set up the environment for the transition. RFID will transition from optional to necessary technology when organization will feel the need of RFID in their supply chain network. There is no doubt that RFID will play a key role in advancing the technology by imposing its use on suppliers or customers.
