By enabling the automatic identification and tracking of products through radio waves, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is transforming the logistics sector. Product, pallet, or container-attached RFID tags hold data that RFID readers can read regardless of their line of sight. By offering real-time visibility into inventory movements, this system increases operational efficiency, minimizes human labor, and improves inventory accuracy. By utilizing this system, companies can ensure on-time delivery, minimize losses due to theft or misplacement, and optimize their supply chain procedures. The potential of RFID technology to offer thorough data, enhance asset management, and facilitate advanced analytics for improved decision-making is driving its adoption.
 

The logistics sector is transforming through seamless exchange of data and real-time monitoring, enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT-enabled devices, including sensors and smart tags, provide vital information about the state, location, and overall status of commodities along the supply chain. This integration enhances predictive maintenance by reducing downtime and increasing the asset usage. By tracking environmental variables, such as temperature and humidity, IoT aids in proactive problem-solving, route optimization, and product quality assurance. Expanding IoT integration improves the logistics ecosystem's transparency, efficiency, and responsiveness, eventually leading to increased customer satisfaction and operational excellence.
 

The implementation of RFID and IoT smart labelling technologies in logistics can incur high expenses, covering the cost of buying, setting up, and integrating RFID tags, readers, & IoT sensors with the current IT infrastructure. Additional expenses include costs for continuing maintenance, staff training, and software development. Widespread acceptance of these technologies may be constrained by the inability of small businesses to afford these upfront costs. Moreover, businesses may find it difficult to defend the expense, considering the possible long-term advantages of enhanced supply chain visibility and increased efficiency if the Return on Investment (ROI) is delayed.
