Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is transforming global supply chains, bringing efficiency, transparency, and real-time visibility to the forefront of logistics operations. Now, combined with the Internet of Things (IoT), this integration is unlocking new levels of intelligence, automation, and agility across the logistics ecosystem.

From manufacturing to retail, RFID and IoT are reshaping how goods are tracked, managed, and delivered—minimising errors, reducing costs, and helping businesses thrive in a fast-evolving market.

The global rise of RFID and IoT

Unlike traditional barcode systems, RFID doesn't require a direct line-of-sight, enabling bulk and in-motion scanning even in complex environments. IoT complements RFID by connecting devices and sensors across the supply chain, allowing businesses to capture, transmit, and analyse data in real time. This synergy accelerates warehouse operations, improves accuracy, and facilitates predictive decision-making.

In sectors where compliance and product integrity are paramount, RFID tags equipped with IoT-enabled environmental sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and handling conditions. This ensures perishable goods remain within safety thresholds, reducing waste and preserving quality.
