RFID

Meeting the Challenges of the Evolving World of RFID

As a supply chain professional, you are witnessing the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology revolution-one that could fundamentally affect your fulfillment and distribution processes. Organizations everywhere have a variety of reasons for implementing this technology within their supply chains-ranging from meeting the mandates of major retailers and the Department of Defense all the way to reorganizing logistics operations to realize operational performance gains. And while RFID will likely have a substantial impact on your supply chain in the years to come, adopting an incremental approach today will prove most effective as RFID technology requirements continue to evolve.

Therefore, you need a solution for practical, incremental adoption of RFID for compliance mandates, choke-point applications, etc. To support this, Manco Systems has enabled the co-existence of bar codes and RFID within our solution platform.
