Prediction, Detection, and Proof: An Integrated Auto-ID Solution to Retail Theft
Overview This paper analyzes both internal and external theft within the supply chain in addition to technological methods for controlling theft. The discussion concentrates on the implementation of Auto-ID technology. One of the primary advantages of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology is that it does not require a direct line of sight between the reader and the tag. The RFID reader is capable of communicating with a tag through optically inert mediums such as the package containing the product or even the product itself. This is in contrast to barcodes that require unobstructed alignment with a reader.
