Applications are constantly being developed and refined as the technology advances and
the supply chain industry continues to work for the cradle-to-grave data flow that will
streamline the product pipeline. Because of the visibility it can provide, and its newfound cost effectiveness, RFID is emerging as an intriguing option to complement data collection and product identification in the supply chain.
Many hardware and software suppliers are just beginning to explore how RFID
technology can tie into warehouse management systems (WMS) to produce a
warehouse/DC of incredible efficiency. Several WMS providers now support RFID data entry in their software. Here are some potential RFID applications in warehousing and distribution environments:
• Pallet and case tracking, particularly when the pallets are reused within a closed
• Forklift identification. RFID can identify forklift location to allow systems to
monitor activity and assign the closest forklift to those pallets needing moved, and
serve as a permanent asset ID.
• Access control: Chips embedded in ID cards can control locks and prevent
unauthorized entry; chips on products, cases, pallets and equipment can control
item movement and sound alarms in case of unauthorized removal.
• Smart shelves: Retailers are experimenting with readers embedded in stocked
store shelves to keep track of tagged inventory and notify either the back room or
the supplier when stock is low. The application could be modified for use in
warehouses and distribution centers for materials management and inventory
control

This places poses the most comprehensive information on the uses of RFID based communication in a supply chain.
God bless u all.
Coatings need to adhere well to the surface to form a strong bond.
If the concrete surface has a build up of many coatings or types of paint sandblasting may be needed to
remove the old layers. Smooth finish obtained with
the polished concrete can be easily maintained.

These are made to overcome every obstacle ranging from the most difficult stains which can be not easy to remove also to endure the most difficult
environmental situations. Always mix the solution according to the directions and
be sure to rinse thoroughly when the etching is complete.
If the concrete casing of the structure has been damaged or has deteriorated, it might be necessary
to replace the steel substructure.
