ON-DEMAND VIDEOCAST: Understanding the RFID-enabled WMS

To drive ROI in distribution from investments and requirements to use RFID, logistics software must change to take maximum advantage of RFID capabilities. The reality is this means a lot more than simply adding a new identifier field to the Warehouse Management System database - it means substantial changes in the way a WMS needs to think about and process data, using event-driven architecture, and rethinking how traditional bar-code based processes are performed.

In this informative Supply Chain Videocast, on The Supply Chain Television Channel, you'll get detailed insight into how WMS must change to maximize RFID benefits.
