Jun 24, 2020On June 16, RFID Journal presented a webinar titled "Damage in Your Supply Chain? Using RFID to Deter, Detect and Diagnose." Utilizing indicators allows a company greater visibility into its supply chain and reduces damage by up to 40 to 60 percent. No business can entirely avoid supply chain damage, but there are solutions available that can improve damage rates. With that in mind, this webinar explained how to deter damage with accountability, detect damage via RFID and a visual indicator, and diagnose when and where damage occurred, in order to save time and money.
