Managing Mobile Resources: Addressing the Asset Management Problem

Tags:
erp

Overview Over the past 18 months, there has been increasing interest in RFID, much of it fueled by Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense who have mandated their suppliers to begin placing RFID tags on products shipped to them starting January of 2005. This has caused a flurry of activity as these suppliers scramble to understand what RFID is and who they should partner with in developing RFID-based supply chain solutions. While this has lead the industry to focus on RFID as a supply chain and warehouse management solution, there are other areas where this technology can provide significant benefits. One such area is asset management, where RFID can provide a number of benefits in inventory control, asset utilization, manufacturing work-in-process, loss prevention and security.
