Automatic Identification of Products – A Way of Streamlining the Logistical Support of the Military Unit

Abstract

The new products provided by the development of information technology (scanners, barcodes, RFIDs, etc.) can currently provide methods and techniques towards achieving important savings in terms of management of logistical support of military units, especially in terms of efficiency in providing material goods to combat forces that are preparing and training through military exercises. I set out to make an “x-ray” of this way of improving the logistical support, especially through the method of identification by labels that use radiofrequency (Radio Frequency Identification/RFID).

Impact of the Product Master Data Quality on the Logistics Process Performance

“…Database architecture [29,30], automatic identification of products (coding structure and content) [31], data quality [10,32,33], data carriers [6,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34], supply chain digitisation [2,35], and data synchronisation [2,36,37] are the most researched topics around PI collection and management. The abovementioned studies focus on technological solutions and communication platforms and do not target the quality of the exchanged data, which is indispensable for executing logistics processes.…”
