Abstract
This IDC Perspective discusses radio frequency identification (RFID) in warehousing. Radio frequency identification technology is shifting warehousing operations by offering an efficient and automated means of tracking inventory and assets. By integrating RFID into their operations, warehouses can streamline processes such as receiving, storage, picking, and shipping. This technology enables faster inventory counts, reduces manual errors, and enhances overall inventory visibility, leading to improved accuracy and efficiency in warehouse management.
The convergence of RFID with other emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) has unlocked new possibilities for warehouse management. By leveraging RFID data within IoT platforms and applying AI algorithms for predictive analytics and process optimization, warehouses can achieve even greater efficiency and cost savings. "As warehouses continue to evolve toward intelligent, more interconnected environments, RFID remains a cornerstone technology for enhancing operational agility and competitiveness in the modern supply chain landscape," said Roderick Gaines, research director, Warehousing, Inventory, and Order Management at IDC.
