Glossary Discription

 RFID, or Radio-Frequency Identification, is a technology used in logistics to identify, track, and manage goods, assets, and shipments using electronic tags and radio signals. RFID allows automatic scanning of products without direct line-of-sight, enabling faster and more accurate inventory audits, real-time tracking of goods in transit, and enhanced visibility across warehouses, distribution centers, and transportation networks. RFID improves operational efficiency, reduces errors, prevents loss or misplacement of goods, and facilitates supply chain analytics for better planning and decision-making. It is widely adopted in high-volume operations, cold chain logistics, and asset-intensive industries.
