RFID In The Supply Chain

Comprehensive optimisation

The supply chain is characterised by having to manage a large volume of products and items at different points of the business process. RFID technology solves this major problem by optimising identification and data capture, improving working time and reducing operating costs.

Gain competitive advantage by applying RFID in those industries focused on the supply chain, such as logistics, distribution or warehousing, reducing management times and obtaining real-time information.

Supply Chain RFID

Processes where RFID adds value

The application of RFID technology in the supply chain is key to optimizing the large amount of data that this industry generates, dynamizing all processes, from the beginning to the end. Some of the processes where RFID adds value are:

  • Complete visibility of the warehouse and optimization of movements
  • Identification of the merchandise at the origin
  • Immediate transactions in the receipt of merchandise
  • Changing locations without regard to who does it and when it is done
  • Visibility of the supply chain
  • Guarantees operations in the Expedition or Shipments
  • Avoids obsolescence and stock breaks with proper management of inventory alerts
