Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has emerged as a transformative solution in modern inventory management, enabling real-time tracking, improved data accuracy, and enhanced operational efficiency. This narrative review investigates the current state of RFID adoption across sectors, focusing on its integration with advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain. Literature was collected using a systematic search of reputable academic databases including Scopus, IEEE Xplore, and ScienceDirect, with keyword combinations designed to capture diverse applications of RFID in inventory systems. The findings reveal substantial benefits, including reductions in manual processing time, improved inventory accuracy, and enhanced traceability. Sector-specific applications in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and food logistics demonstrate measurable gains in compliance and supply chain transparency. Moreover, RFID’s integration with emerging technologies facilitates predictive analytics and real-time environmental monitoring. However, technical, organizational, and economic barriers continue to hinder broader implementation. These include interoperability issues, resistance to change, and high initial costs. Policy recommendations include the promotion of standardization, investment in infrastructure, and workforce training. Future research should address longitudinal outcomes and explore scalable adoption strategies, particularly for small-to-medium enterprises. Overall, RFID technology represents a strategic innovation poised to revolutionize inventory management through enhanced efficiency, resilience, and adaptability.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Augmented Reality (AR) in logistics training and operations, focusing on its effectiveness in improving technical skills, operational efficiency, and user engagement. The review analyzes peer-reviewed literature from major academic databases, using systematic search strategies with defined keywords and inclusion criteria. Key findings show that AR-based training significantly enhances conceptual understanding, reduces task completion times, and increases learner satisfaction. In logistics operations, AR contributes to improved order picking, warehouse mapping, and real-time inventory control, leading to productivity gains and cost reductions. These benefits, however, are context-dependent and influenced by systemic factors such as infrastructure maturity, workforce readiness, organizational culture, and regulatory support. The discussion emphasizes the need for integrated human-centric design, supportive policy frameworks, and targeted investment to overcome barriers to AR adoption. Practical strategies, including the use of proven AR platforms, public-private educational partnerships, and localized pilot implementations, are recommended to facilitate scalable and effective AR integration. Despite promising results, gaps remain in empirical field research and interdisciplinary perspectives, especially in low- and middle-income settings. The review concludes by underscoring the urgency of digital transformation in logistics and the central role of AR in equipping the workforce with future-ready capabilities. Strategic adoption of AR offers a pathway toward more adaptive, efficient, and resilient logistics systems.
