The value-chain from production through transport, warehouse logistics and distribution includes various areas where efficiency is lost because of a lack in communication. A smarter supply chain means to control and optimize processes end2end and not as single or individual steps. Through the connection of machinery, carriers and human workers an intelligent network is created, which allows end2end control and monitoring. Even products can be integrated into the network. RFDI technology enables the authentication of products automatically and contactless. The degree of automatization is significantly increased. Transport containers are located and loaded automatically, warehouses are managed computer-controlled. Failure rates decline significantly by eliminating human errors. A smart supply chain is cheaper, more precise, faster and more plannable. The aggregation and analysis of data in real-time through to simulation ensures the end2end-control-capability.
