RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. In logistics, RFID tags are used to monitor inventory, track shipments, and improve supply chain visibility. RFID systems enhance accuracy, reduce manual labor, and increase efficiency in managing goods throughout the supply chain.
