Keeping a track of your inventory while it passes through different stages of the supply chain is crucial to running your business seamlessly. Although many companies still rely on manual methods and guesswork for tracking their assets, using automatic programs for asset tracking can really nudge out inefficiencies.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the use of radio waves to read digital data coded onto tags. The scanned information can then be added into a business’s database for further use. RFID works under the banner of Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) mechanism.
