RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology that uses radio waves to automatically identify and track objects, such as products, pallets, or containers, in the supply chain. In supply chain management, RFID is used to monitor the movement of goods at every stage — from manufacturing to warehousing to distribution to retail. For this products/packages/pallets are tagged with RFID tags and RFID readers, antennas and RFID gate systems are deployed throughout the warehouse

- 5. RFID Tags onItems How RFID Works in Supply Chain Management? RFID Readers and Antennas Data Transmission Real-Time Visibility Attached to products or pallets, each tag has a unique ID and product info. Installed at key points, they send signals to detect nearby tags. Readers send tag data to central software for tracking and inventory updates. Managers get instant updates on product location and movement, reducing errors. encstore.com
- 6. Example in aWarehouse: As a pallet of goods enters the warehouse, the RFID gate reads all tags instantly. The system logs the items into inventory without manual scanning. When the goods are picked and shipped, RFID readers update the system again, ensuring accurate stock levels. encstore.com

High Operational Costs Poor Demand Forecasting Loss and Theft of Goods High risk of human errors in inventory records and shipping documents. Labor-intensive tracking and checking processes May lead to stockouts or overstocking Inability to track items increases risk of theft or misplacement Challenges In Traditional Supply Chains encstore.com
