The intelligent product driven supply chain

This white paper by Auto-ID Laboratories explains specifications for an intelligent product and supporting technologies—one whose information content is permanently bound to its material content. This paper explores the impact of such development on supply chains, contrasting between simple and complex product supply chains. Auto-ID Laboratories introduces expected changes, demonstrating that by enabling intelligent products, automatic identification systems will be instrumental in driving future supply chains. The paper also identifies specific application areas for this technology in the product supply chain.
