How is RFID Used in Supply Chain Management?​

Cykeo News RFID FAQ 4730

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) revolutionizes supply chain management by enabling real-time tracking of goods, reducing manual errors, and improving end-to-end visibility. From raw material sourcing to last-mile delivery, RFID streamlines operations, cuts costs, and ensures compliance. Here’s how it transforms modern supply chains.

​1. Real-Time Inventory Visibility​

  • ​Warehouse Management:​
    • RFID tags on pallets, boxes, or individual items enable bulk scanning (100+ items/second), eliminating manual counts.
    • Automated alerts notify managers of low stock, expired goods, or misplaced items.
  • ​Global Tracking:​
    • Monitor shipments across borders using GPS-enabled RFID tags, reducing delays and theft risks.

​2. Enhanced Order Accuracy​

  • ​Automated Picking & Packing:​
    • Fixed  RFID readers guide workers to exact item locations, reducing mispicks by ​​90%​​.
    • Tags verify correct items are packed before dispatch.
  • ​Returns Management:​
    • Scan returned items instantly to update inventory and assess restocking needs.

​3. Anti-Counterfeiting & Compliance​

  • ​Product Authentication:​
    • Embedded RFID tags with encrypted unique IDs help distinguish genuine products from fakes.
    • Critical for pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, and electronics.
  • ​Regulatory Compliance:​
    • Tags store batch numbers, expiry dates, and origin data to meet FDA, EU, or ISO standards.

​4. Transportation & Logistics​

  • ​Fleet Management:​
    • Track trailers, containers, and vehicles in real time to optimize routes and reduce fuel costs.
  • ​Cold Chain Monitoring:​
    • RFID sensors log temperature/humidity during transit, ensuring perishables (e.g., vaccines, food) stay within safe ranges.
