After working as a supply chain IT professional for many years, sometimes people start considering you an expert in certain areas. So, as it happens, whenever an RFID consulting opportunity comes our way at Tompkins Associates, heads usually turn in my direction.
As the resident RFID "expert," I recently spoke with Maida Napolitano at Logistics Management Magazine. She was working on the article, which ran in their February issue, Warehouse and Distribution Centers: RFID Revisited.
Her article focuses on the ROI of RFID, and she notes four key benefits that RFID-enabled warehouses and DCs can achieve within the first 12 months of deployment. They are:
Eliminate shipping and receiving errors,
Improve productivity,
Establish traceability, and
Achieve inventory control and accuracy.
RFID is not going away any time soon. So, if you want to get some ideas about the advantages of RFID and learn more about what Wal-mart is doing with their RFID initiatives, check out this article, or post comments and questions right here on our blog. I would like to hear your thoughts.
