RFID Joins Wireless Lineup at UPS

摘要

Wireless technologies have been a critical part of the way UPS does business since the $33 billion company started using scanners to track packages in 1985. Now UPS is looking into the latest wireless technologies to infiltrate the world of logistics: radio frequency identification. The company is looking to adopt RFID first in its supply-chain operations, where multiple pilot projects are underway, says David Barnes, vice president of IS at UPS in Atlanta.
