Improving Performance With Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Overview Radio frequency identification, commonly referred to as RFID, has the potential to change the way we produce, distribute, and purchase goods. For the first time in history, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers will have real-time visibility of every link in the supply chain. Products coming in from suppliers, works-in-process within a company's four walls, and finished goods being distributed to fulfill customer demand can all be managed in real-time by using RFID.
