Abstract
The paper deals with object tracking and management, in side warehouses and processing plants. It is proposed to track individual items using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and different types of RFID readers. The vehicular movement is monitored using Global Positioning System (GPS). RFID and GPS technologies are key enablers for logistics supply chain visibility and tracking. RFID is useful for inventory and material handling processes in warehouses, preprocessing plants, cold storage plants and processing units. As soon as the RFID–tagged goods leave the warehouses, one often loses track of them until the next receiving point. During the transportation if there is no tracking of vehicle it might result in missing of the vehicle, illegal off-loading and avoidable delay. GPS is used to track vehicle and reduce such risks.
