There are NFC CARD several reasons why object-driven data management is an improvement on conventional database-driven logistics controls.
"Granted that we have yet to move beyond databases, object-driven data is an exciting concept for three reasons: accuracy, cost and visibility, says Lalla. "Doing away with databases would reduce error. The more databases you have, the more duplication and inaccuracies you get, especially if goods travel across disparate systems, as they do for example when the journey involves a manufacturer, a logistics supplier, a wholesaler and a retailer.
Another big reason," continues Lalla, "is cost. Provisioning resource management systems is expensive. And as you add on duplicate systems in different locations, not only does the cost of provisioning and maintaining systems themselves increase, but the cost of managing the data climbs upwards as well. Finally, object-driven data would improve visibility and so allow administrators to increase the efficiency of material flow."contactless cards
While RFID is now primarily a means of identification, it will soon evolve into a processing mechanism. As an example, a procurement request for a tractor part can be matched with availability across the entire supply chain consisting of several companies: a manufacturer, a logistics company and a wholesaler, for instance. The inventory signals its location and availability, and intelligent agent software presents the best options. Add another variable such as end use location, for instance in a disaster relief operation where end user locations are constantly changing, and more efficiencies accrue.combo cards
