The Importance of Tracking Individual Items
At the Auto-ID Center, we believe there is a very strong business case for being able to identify unique products using a technology that doesn't require line of sight. The new network we are developing has the potential to give companies something they've never had before: near-perfect supply chain visibility. That is, companies will be able to know exactly where every item in their supply chain is at any moment in time. How they take advantage of that capability will be up to them, just as it is up to each company to figure out how to leverage the Internet.
