Many organizations that produce, distribute, handle
or sell goods are researching what RFID can do to improve operating
efficiency, reduce business risk and drive additional revenue
opportunities. According to Alinean Research, these early RFID
projects could cut supply chain costs by 3 to 5 percent and
achieve a 2 to 7 percent increase in revenue, thanks to the
better visibility and accuracy RFID provides
RFID is being implemented, along with key business-process
improvements in many industries, to reliably track goods of
all kinds—from cases, pallets and individual items in
manufacturing, wholesale distribution and retail applications,
to equipment and supplies in government applications, to overnight
mail packages and passenger luggage in transportation and shipping.
Many of these early adopters have experienced the benefits of
bar codes, but realize that RFID can take supply-chain management
to the next level. The network effects of a synchronized supply
chain will result in numerous benefits, including improved scan
reliability, process automation and real-time information access.
RFID provides persistent, real-time identification
information with minimal human intervention, allowing more frequent
data collection and greater information capture. With RFID,
a dock door, conveyor, forklift or workstation becomes an important
data-collection instrument that can read and help reconcile
the location and status of goods in the supply chain. Armed
with RFID, businesses benefit from more accurate insight and
improved decision-making capabilities.
RFID technology as a key component of an enterprise
mobility solution, combined with appropriate business-process
improvements, can result in clear benefits in the following
key areas:
Automation—reducing manual
processes through automated scanning and data entry improves
productivity, thus allowing resources to be reallocated to higher
value activities.
Integrity—improving the integrity of
real-time supply-chain information, with increased authentication
and security and tracking capabilities, thereby reducing errors,
shrinkage and counterfeiting while improving customer satisfaction.
Velocity -minimizing the time spent finding
and tracking needed assets, in turn increasing product flow
and handling speeds.
Insight—providing the real-time information
needed to make faster, better-informed decisions and the ability
to be more responsive to the customer.
Capability—providing new applications
and quality to meet supply-chain partner demands and enhance
customer experiences.
