Information and communications technology supporting internal transport systems management

The article presents some aspects concerning the application of Information and Computer Technologies in logistics processes. In order to improve management processes the integrated informatics and communication systems, dedicated applications and hardware solutions are used increasingly. The market offers a variety of solutions developed strictly for Transport and Logistics consisting of a multitude modules and applications meeting standard and non-standard requirements of supply chains. Specified solutions are used in warehouses and other types of logistics facilities realizing internal transport. A useful tool for supporting management of warehousing processes in logistics facilities is Warehouse Management System with RFiD technology for information collection and advanced planning. The RFiD is identification technology using radio waves for reading and recording information about products, logistics units or equipment on electronic chip. Construction of RFID systems largely depends on the destination of the system. The special attention is paid to the use of RFID technology to manage transportation system in warehousing facilities. The main features of RFiD technology are discussed.
