Smart Logistics: Leveraging RFID and IoT for Seamless Operations

Abstract

Modern logistics can be transformed by integrating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing smooth and effective operations. RFID, a non-contact automatic identification technology, uses radiofrequency signals to automatically identify and retrieve pertinent target data without human participation. Because this technology performs well in various challenging conditions, the dynamic logistics sector is a great fit. Conventional logistics systems frequently struggle with information and production control flow mismatches, making it difficult to satisfy present and future demands successfully. However, with its capacity to link systems and devices, the Internet of Things makes up for these drawbacks by offering better operational insight and real-time data. The limits of conventional barcode systems are being solved by the confluence of RFID and IoT technologies, garnering considerable interest and investigation from the international logistics and commercial communities. This study investigates how combining RFID and IoT can transform logistics operations and improve their responsiveness, accuracy, and efficiency. It shows how utilizing these technologies can lead to smart logistics, guaranteeing smooth operations and satisfying the changing needs of the global logistics scene through in-depth studies and case studies.
