how technology helps in logistics

The reader is connected to the central computer. Radio Frequency Tags (RFTs) are a piece of silicon chip to store data in the microcircuit. The RFTs are programmable with erasable memory. Data is stored in coded form and communicated to the reader through waves. The basic principle of tag is that antenna emits the radio signals.RFTs are very useful to accompany truck shipments. The tag will contain information on consignor, consignee, inventory items, quantity, and value, what time the item traveled certain zone; even the temperature etc.The reader receives the tag signal with its antenna, decodes it and transfers the data to the host computer system. RFTs can be attached to virtually anything-from a semi tractor, to a pallet, containers etc. RFTs will avoid paperwork and can be helpful in quick clearance at octroi and custom posts. In the warehouse, the barcodes can be applied to the individual inventory items while RFTs can be applied to pallets, containers etc.These will allow the staff to directly communicate to the warehouse computer.
