📝 General Introduction 

In today’s fast-paced logistics and supply chain environments, the ability to track, sort, and manage materials efficiently is critical to operational success. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology has emerged as a powerful tool to automate and optimize these processes.

By enabling real-time tracking, reducing human error, and accelerating material handling, RFID transforms traditional warehouses and distribution centers into intelligent, responsive systems.

This workshop is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to implement RFID solutions for improving material flow and sorting accuracy.

Over five intensive days, participants will explore the technical foundations of RFID, its integration into warehouse operations, and its role in enhancing inventory control, sorting efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. Through hands-on exercises, case studies, and interactive discussions, attendees will learn how to design and deploy RFID-based systems that reduce waste, improve traceability, and support digital transformation in logistics.
