RFID and Barcode Solutions

RFID - barcode of the future

RFID technology is forever changing the world's supply chain processes. The electronic tagging of shipments and pallets is revolutionizing the movement of products from the manufacturer to the retailer. Item-level tagging promises to extend this revolution through the point of purchase.

RFID applications - not only in logistics

RFID is the frontrunner technology for automatic identification and data collection. The biggest, as of yet unproven, benefit would ultimately be in the consumer goods supply chain where an RFID tag attached to a consumer product could be tracked from manufacturing to the retail store right to the consumer's home. RFID is a technology in its infancy with an untapped potential. While we may talk of its existence and the amazing ways in which this technology can be put to use, until there are more standards set within the industry and the cost of RFID technology comes down we won't see RFID systems reaching near their full potential anytime soon.

A major challenge for IT systems

RFID can create up to 100 times more data than standard barcode technology. These huge collections of data can be used for process management and a real-time mapping of processes. This makes integration of RFID data into ERP and CRM Systems a key requirement. Data management, filtering of data, automatic deletion of data and data integration into ERP and CRM Systems are core tasks and require a special know-how.
