Overview: Automated IDentification (Auto ID) applications can provide corporate information systems with the identity of each a physical item in the supply chain in an automated and timely manner. The real time availability of item identity allows other information, related to the item, to be drawn on in order to assess both the current state of the product and future actions required. In the context of supply chain operations, widespread introduction of such systems represents a major opportunity to overhaul and improve tracking and tracing systems, process control and inventory management. This paper reviews some key challenges in supply chain operations and introduces the main elements of an Auto ID system.
