Warehouses, retail outlets, and other industries are using RFID tags and wearable devices for ERP and supply chain management.

Warehouse operations, retail outlets, and many other industries are leveraging IoT solutions using RFID tags and wearable devices. We’ll look at the leading technologies and discuss how they may be integrated into ERP and supply chain management frameworks.

Many consumers probably have the misconception that RFID tags can transmit information across large distances. Remember the commercial, where a large truck comes screeching to a halt at a desk in the middle of the road? When the driver hops out, the person at the desk says, “You’re lost!” Incredulous, the driver asks, “How did you know?” to which the desk person replies, “The boxes told us.”

The mistake here is a common one, but important for understanding the two different kinds of RFID tags available, and appropriate applications for each.
