Traditional Inventory Management Systems
utilize barcode technology that produces limited amounts of data (barcode has
only so many characters) and the data capture is a labor intensive proposition.
Such systems are often local and are not set up to perform real-time item
identification and tracking, while handling all data, item and tag attributes
provided by the RFID and sensor technology.
The new generation of InventoryManagement Software performs full inventory control utilizing a combination of
technologies including RFID tags, RFID readers, barcodes, sensors, Wi-Fi
networks and the Internet. In addition, the system software provides the
capability to categorize and track individual items throughout its supply chain
over the Cloud using desktop applications, Internet browsers and/or mobile
apps.

•

and Verification upon Receiving.
