Shipment Tracking

Use of RFID in  Cargo and Shipment Tracking and in Supply Chain Management 

Why do we require a technology based Cargo and Shipment tracking system?

And why do we need only RFID technology based Cargo and Shipment tracking system?

The answer to first question is rather easy. Every businessman looks for an integrated approach in information management about shipment and delivery of consignments which includes information as to accurate location, truck details, time of reaching the destination station, details about delivery etc. Only technology can provide a solution as vast as one need to have.

What does RFID do to add to it? We must understand the multiplicity of advantages of RFID based tracking system over general kind of online tracking system in which the data is fed into the computer manually about location of the shipment. If we wish to consider a consolidated simplification and facilitation of the entire process of Cargo transport management using RFID, it is the use of RFID that enables us to have a lot of information at our disposal processes including location just in time and ensures reliability in delivery with zero errors, improvement in efficiency, reduction in distribution costs, lesser human intervention, cost effective logistics, etc.
