Manual inventory counts may be time-consuming and difficult if companies are dealing with hundreds and thousands of products or assets.
RFID allows for another perspective.
Using RFID, it is possible to use automatic means to find out where the assets that have RFID tags located.
There are more benefits of better tracking than just quicker counts.
In particular, the technology may help avoid discrepancies and provide companies with more precise data on inventory.
RFID may also be used together with such technologies as barcodes, BLE, IoT and inventory management software.
This way, there is a possibility to correlate physical inventory activity with digital means.
When it comes to warehouse, manufacturing, retail and other businesses that work a lot with inventory, it is not enough to simply use new technologies.
The point is to eliminate manual efforts that do not bring any value to the process.
With the development of the concept of connected inventory, RFID technology may become a crucial component of the supply chain.
