RFID
Meeting the Challenges of the Evolving World of RFID
As a supply chain professional, you are witnessing the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology revolution—one that could fundamentally alter your fulfillment and distribution processes. Organizations everywhere have a variety of reasons for implementing this technology within their supply chains—ranging from meeting the mandates of major retailers and the Department of Defense all the way to reorganizing logistics operations to realize operational performance gains. And while RFID will likely have a substantial impact on your supply chain in the years to come, adopting an incremental approach today will prove most effective as RFID technology requirements continue to evolve.
Therefore, you need a solution for practical, incremental adoption of RFID for compliance mandates, choke-point applications, etc. To support this, HighJump has enabled the co-existence of bar codes and RFID within our solution platform. This allows you to take maximum advantage of RFID technology today where it makes sense within your supply chain, as well as meet future compliance requirements as appropriate.
HighJump offers the industry’s broadest and most flexible collection of RFID-enabled solutions for RFID compliance, warehouse management, visibility and tracking, and shop floor data collection. HighJump makes this enablement possible by empowering you to quickly configure specific processes or items to utilize RFID, bar codes or both, depending on the individual requirements of your business and your customers.
HighJump gives you the flexibility to deploy RFID and/or bar codes at multiple points within the supply chain through the following HighJump solutions:
