This document discusses RFID (radio frequency identification) technology and its benefits for supply chain management in retail. It describes how RFID systems work and their key components. RFID provides advantages over barcodes by allowing items to be scanned from a distance without direct line of sight and enabling the tracking of individual items. The document outlines benefits of RFID for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, such as improved inventory management and accelerated processes. While RFID offers improvements over barcodes, some privacy concerns remain that require further development to address.

Radio Frequency Identification


RFID is the use of small devices that can be electronically

identified at a distance, through many obstruction, using radio waves or adjoining frequencies.

It is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformations of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these products to the customers.

BENIFITS OF USING RFID IN RETAIL SUPPLY CHAIN


For manufacturers;
RFID enables detailed, automated monitoring of parts as they move through a facility. RFID quickly identifies the origin of defective components or products, even after they have been sold.

For distributors;
RFID manages inventories and fleets so effectively those manual tasks can be eliminated, processes can be dramatically accelerated, and shipping errors can be reduced.

For retailers;
RFID ensures appropriate stocking levels, tracks the origin and history of products, prevents theft or misplacement of goods, and speeds up checkout lines. Where traditional bar coding requires one-by-one scanning of a visible bar-code label, RFID readers can simultaneously scan hundreds of tagged items, regardless of whether the tag is visible. And whereas traditional bar coding can tell you only what type of product is being scanned, RFID can uniquely identify individual items.

RFID is an emerging technology that is likely to replace the conventional barcode technology, due to its many advantages on the former. Even if some controversies exist against use of RFID tags as they invoke privacy concerns as they can be monitored regularly from far apart, users are getting to co-op with it. Hence more advancement is yet to be done in this field to get better results with high efficiency and low cost.
