You can not only read but also write on RFID tags. That allows not only to identify but also to write information onto the object. The information on the RFID tags can be evaluated at site in order to control conveyor technique and logisitcs.
In the automotive industry, optimising potentials can mainly be seen at the minimisation of reworking processes. Since RFID not only allows to identify articles automatically, but also the single product with the serial number, it can be prevented to built in e.g. a wrong component. In addition to that, already built in components can be tracked and traced without any problems, so that e.g. vehicles with quality problems can specifically be identified and reworked. Hence, expensive call-back campaigns (also of cars which are not concerned) are not necessary anymore.

Optimisation potentials in the supply chain through the use of RFID are in close correlation with the increasing automation of processes. A big advantage of RFID is the possibility to capture several objects at the same time. At the incoming goods inspection, e.g. each single product of a charge can be identified in a very short time without opening the complete charge. Therefore, the content of the case is not a "miracle" anymore and even the suitcase could be tracked.

According to experts, RFID is the future technology for optimising logistical processes even under bad environmental conditions. The easy identification of pallets with RFID not only makes the processes faster and economically, but also more secure. In the field of logistics / supply chain management (SCM), RFID is mainly used for the tracking and tracing of logistical units (pallets, containers, etc). Active planning and control of processes (e.g. in the production or for quality improvement reasons) are the main focus.
