Due to their ability to increase efficiencies and lower expenses, radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies are becoming common across a number of industries. There are a variety of different types of RFID technology, tags, and readers out there—each suited to different types of environment.
In this blog, we’ll break down RFID basics to explain what RFID is and help you determine the right RFID system for your application.
Wearable devices are changing the game when it comes to meeting customer demands. Workers can now process transactions in a smooth, cost-effective way without compromising their safety, productivity or customer satisfaction.
Companies adopting wearable technologies are seeing:

In our culture, it’s all about time. We move fast, and are more aware of how much time we spend on activities and tasks. We are a generation of “NOW” – often demanding instant gratification. Willing to pay more in order to spend less time on tasks, your customers want up-to-the-minute information at their fingertips; whether it’s access to your inventory, the status of an order, or knowing where their shipment is at that very moment.

This blog from The SMS Group takes a look at inventory accuracy: what it is, how to measure it, and how to improve it.
Data integration involves bringing together information from disparate sources in order to generate meaningful insight. Reconciling data generated from software, equipment, and personnel across all of the functional areas of your business can provide you with the valuable information you need to make the right decisions.
Advanced technology has quickly become a critical driver behind a strong supply chain. An effective supply chain enables companies to increase efficiencies, reduce costs, and better serve their customers. Incorporating new technology into supply chain operations helps these companies realize even further gains.
To be most successful, however, strategic management of supply chain technologies is crucial. Systems and devices that do not work together can create more problems than they solve. That is why it is necessary to know the technology trends behind a strong supply chain.
Mobile solutions are rapidly becoming prevalent in the warehouse as companies are looking to replace outdated systems with new technology in order to increase operational performance. New devices like mobile scanners, rugged handhelds, and mobile printers provide warehouse and distribution center managers with the tools they need to streamline and increase accuracy and productivity.
As the use of mobile technology in manufacturing increases, so too does the risk of critical data becoming compromised. With the sheer number of mobile devices in the warehouse and on the shop floor today, mobile device management (MDM) is more necessary than ever.
It’s the goal of every company to get more done in less time. To this end, improving warehouse processes, such as increasing order picking accuracy, are critical goals. Picking thousands of items in a day can easily become an inefficient and mistake-prone affair if the right tools and technologies aren’t available for workers—and inefficiency breeds inaccuracy. Fortunately, there are many tools that can be used to increase efficiency, and thus, productivity and accuracy in your warehouse or distribution center.
