For logistics professionals, it is essential to know quickly and accurately where goods, materials and assets are located. This flowchart helps you determine whether an automated Track & Trace system such as RFID, RTLS or GPS offers added value for your processes.
The decision tree starts with the question of whether you produce or move goods. It then looks at your role in the chain, whether time is lost searching for items, and whether tracking technology is already in place. If you regularly have to deal with searching, stock discrepancies or inefficiencies in the warehouse or transport, then it is time to consider:
– RFID for fast and bulk identification of goods
– RTLS for real-time location determination within buildings
– GPS for tracking during transport
– Barcodes as an entry-level solution for basic identification
A well-chosen Track & Trace system increases visibility in the supply chain, reduces errors and speeds up processes.
