On Analysis of RFID Technology Application in Warehouses

Abstract:

Radio Frequency Identification is a technology which is developing fast now while taking into account the area of the automatic identification of goods. In the paper, there is presented RFID as one of the latest and most promising logistics technologies. There have been indicated the RFID essence, analyzed the support for warehousing processes in the selected surveyed company and examples of the ways of using RFID application in the selected warehousing processes of the selected sectors.
