A system and method, including software and hardware, for providing an
accurate, real-time, and synchronized view of supply chain information.
The system utilizes various RFID technologies (like an RFID tag, an RFID
reader, and an RFID middleware software) to collect and manage data in
real time. It then implements a synchronization mechanism to synchronize
supply chain data from various data sources within and across a company
in near real time fashion to allow different types of enterprise users,
both internal and external, to access the synchronized information and
take synchronized action within an appropriate timeframe.
