FID technology uses radio waves for communication between the RFID tag and the reader, enabling the identification and tracking of items in stock. RFID stickers can be attached to items such as boxes or pallets to track their movement in the warehouse. This technology allows real-time inventory tracking and improves warehouse efficiency. Machine vision, on the other hand, uses cameras and image processing algorithms to recognise and track objects in the warehouse. This technology can automate tasks such as picking and sorting and improve the accuracy of inventory tracking. Computer vision can also be used with RFID technology to provide a more complete view of warehouse operations.

When RFID and computer vision are combined, they create a powerful tool for warehouse automation.

For example, RFID can be used to track the location of an item, while machine vision identifies and sorts the items. This allows for more efficient and accurate warehouse operations, resulting in improved productivity and lower labour costs.
