RFID & Supply Chain
Only the adoption of RFID technology in Tier 1 by the component manufacturers and distributors of spare parts for vehicles, will allow precise products identification and proper management of the warehouses.
Recently, RFID systems have been adopted in many business applications, demonstrating the potential and advantages of this technology for the identification, in particular compared to the bar codes method. The supply chain is one of the areas in which RFID systems will be particularly useful for ensuring the availability of accurate and updated data, to support collaboration between different actors involved in the supplier-customer relationship. The application scenario in which the RFID has high expression is the inventory management in real time.
What is the self-identification?
It’s a method based on information reading, collecting and sharing and direct input of data into computers and systems without human intervention.
What the achievable results?
- Development of collaborative commerce model
- Realization of self-identification processes
- Creation of Network based on electronic product code
- Global Data Synchronization
Geolocation
It’s possible to process heterogeneous data resulting from the movement of goods which are constantly tracked via RFID tags and smart sensors.
Mobile information
The development of computing devices, in a landscape of great economic social changes, puts the RF as the instrument that will drive the Future.
How it works
In general terms, an RFID system consists of three components: the tag (label), with transponder functions, containing the identification data; an antenna, which emits radio signals and receives the response from the tags; and a reader controlling the operation of the antenna and decoding in particular the signals received from the tags, reading them as data. Through the reader, the RFID system is typically connected to a computer network, in order to integrate the data acquired from the field in the company information system.
