4 examples of RFID application in supply chain

RFID Tag can help you in your supply chain operations by assisting with product tracking and potentially improving product availability.

There are 4 rfid in supply chain  application examples:

I:Manufacturing

Manufacturing is the part of the supply chain wherein raw materials are turned into finished products. RFID helps to provide real-time visibility of raw materials and assets as they move through production. This technology helps to ensure that every component is at the right place at the right time. Along with tracking raw materials, RFID can also be used for tracking containers and tools.

II:Warehousing

As goods enter and exit warehouses, RFID creates a seamless way to collect and check mass data on the whereabouts of the goods. With RFID, products that enter warehouses can be scanned and tracked from anywhere inside the warehouse’s vicinity. Even boxes or kegs that are behind other items can be tracked.

III:Freight Transportation

So far, you may have noticed that RFID, in various ways, ensures that items are where they need to be along the different stages of the supply chain. RFID in freight transportation operates on the same premise.

Using RFID, a container can be scanned the moment it leaves the warehouse or port. The container can then be scanned again once it gets to its destination. This helps create a live feed regarding the container's journey.

IV:Retailing

With RFID, checking-in shipments for retail can be done accurately, en masse, and in an instant. This is a lot faster than manually scanning products one by one. Furthermore, RFID helps to ensure that items are accounted for, even when items are moved frequently in storage rooms and on the sales floor.
