ABSTACT: RFID technology can be exploited in newly developed logistics centers in Poland
as well. The Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been recognized as one of the greatest
technologies implemented by enterprises in different branches. Constantly increasing number
of enterprises, which are making use of RFID technology to improve their efficiency of
manufacturing goods, functioning as well as to achieve a competitive advantage on the
market, shows the great necessity of large changes. One of the fields where RFID can be used
is logistics centers. There are projects that implement RFID into logistics centers. Such
projects start with a study of what kinds of needs are in the market, and proceeds to the
development of concept as well as project determines what the new systems and hardware
requirements will be to translate the concept of logistics centers with RFID systems to an
actual infrastructure. Conclusion is that RFID will be more universally diffused and
assimilated into everyday life in the future.
