Look beyond the ‘tech’ to profit from RFID’s real value
Since its patenting some 50 years ago, RFID has now transitioned from pilot programmes to more widespread deployments, demonstrating confidence in the technology’s maturity and proven business value. But, argues TSC Auto ID, its technology is only part of the equation, and warehouse and logistics operators should start viewing RFID as part of a normal warehouse process rather than a separate technology layer.
How distribution centres can strengthen security without disrupting operations
Security and throughput have always pulled in opposite directions inside a distribution centre. Add more checks at the gate and trucks queue longer.

Unlocking scarce logistics space with automated loading and unloading
In an ideal world, retail distribution would operate from state-of-the-art, energy efficient facilities. The reality, of course, is that top quality logistics space is at a premium and few retailers can afford the cost and risk associated with relocating.
