  • Abstract
    Imagine a company with perfect supply-chain visibility. You know exactly where all your products are, where they are being shipped to and where exactly they are located in your warehouse. No more inventory counts, no more lost or misdirected shipments, no more guessing how much material is in the supply chain, or how much product is on the store shelves. The article looks at how this can be achieved by putting a radio tag on every product and describes the technology being used.
