LABELLING & PACKAGING MONTH: How RFID, QR and IoT are driving real-time visibility
For decades, labelling was seen as a compliance exercise: ensuring goods moved through the supply chain with the correct barcodes and basic product information. Today, however, labels and packaging have evolved into intelligent data carriers, enabling real-time visibility, efficiency, and resilience across global supply chains…
RFID Resurgence
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, once seen as costly and niche, is now reaching maturity. Falling tag prices and improved interoperability mean RFID is increasingly used across retail, healthcare, and manufacturing logistics.
Unlike traditional barcodes, RFID tags can be scanned in bulk, without line of sight, enabling faster processing at warehouses, distribution centres, and border points. For high-value or sensitive goods, RFID also provides a digital audit trail, improving both security and compliance reporting.
QR Codes and Dynamic Labelling
QR codes have also surged in popularity as low-cost, versatile tools. Beyond logistics, they now serve as a bridge between supply chain operators, regulators, and end consumers. Dynamic QR codes can link to real-time data such as batch origin, sustainability certifications, or product recall alerts.
For logistics teams, this flexibility supports multi-market compliance, with one code serving different regulatory requirements depending on location. For consumers, it delivers greater transparency on provenance and environmental credentials, aligning with growing demands for accountability.
IoT-Enabled Packaging
Perhaps the most transformative trend is the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors into packaging. Smart labels equipped with temperature, humidity, or shock sensors are increasingly used in cold chain logistics for pharmaceuticals, fresh food, and other sensitive goods.
By transmitting live condition data, IoT-enabled packaging reduces spoilage, ensures compliance with stringent quality standards, and allows operators to respond proactively to anomalies in transit. This predictive capability is reshaping how supply chains manage risk.
The Strategic Value of Smart Labels
For supply chain leaders, smart labelling is a strategic asset. Realtime visibility supports:
• Inventory optimisation through accurate, live data.
• Regulatory compliance with EPR and traceability laws.
• Sustainability goals, by reducing waste and enabling circular packaging systems.
• Customer engagement, via transparent information delivered at the point of use.
Best Practice into 2026
To unlock value, organisations are embedding labelling strategies into broader digital transformation initiatives. This means integrating labelling systems with WMS, ERP, and blockchain platforms, standardising data across partners, and training staff to manage the shift from static to dynamic data ecosystems.
Labels and packaging are now intelligent enablers of supply chain resilience and trust. For senior logistics professionals, the question is no longer if to adopt smart labelling, but how quickly they can scale it to gain a competitive edge.

LOGISTICS & OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT: Automation, robotics and human-machine collaboration in modern fulfilment
Warehouses are dynamic, data-driven fulfilment engines that sit at the heart of modern supply chains. As consumer expectations for speed and accuracy rise, and labour markets remain tight, organisations attending the Total Supply Chain Summit are turning to automation and robotics to transform warehouse operations.
From the private sector’s retail giants to public sector healthcare logistics, the goal is the same: improve throughput, reduce errors, and maximise space and labour efficiency.
One of the biggest shifts is the adoption of goods-to-person (G2P) robotics systems, which bring items directly to pickers, minimising travel time and boosting productivity. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are also growing in popularity for tasks like shelf replenishment, internal transport, and inventory tracking.
Automation isn’t just about robots, though. Conveyor systems with real-time scanning and sorting, smart picking technologies, and AIpowered warehouse management systems (WMS) are dramatically improving accuracy and speed. Predictive analytics is also being used to anticipate demand surges and optimise inventory placement.
Rather than replacing human workers, modern warehouses are moving toward collaborative environments, where people and machines work side by side. Cobots (collaborative robots) assist with repetitive or heavy-lifting tasks, reducing strain and injury while freeing staff to focus on valueadded roles.
In the public sector, especially NHS supply chains and government-run distribution centres, automation is helping reduce bottlenecks and improve service levels amid growing demand for just-in-time delivery and critical stock visibility.
Despite the benefits, many organisations face barriers to adoption, such as upfront investment, integration challenges, and change management. However, the ROI can be compelling. Automation reduces picking errors, speeds up fulfilment, lowers labour costs, and enables greater flexibility in volatile demand cycles.
Sustainability is also a driver. Automated systems often consume less energy and support more efficient space utilisation, reducing the environmental footprint of warehousing operations.
Ultimately, the warehouse of the future is not a fully robotised facility, but a highly optimised, tech-enabled
environment that blends human insight with machine precision. For supply chain leaders, investing in automation today means staying ahead of tomorrow’s fulfilment demands, while improving safety, performance, and resilience across the board.

COST REDUCTION: Collaborative Logistics –Pooling resources to reduce costs and emissions
Collaborative logistics is emerging as a powerful strategy for supply chain leaders looking to navigate economic volatility, rising transportation costs, and growing pressure to meet ESG targets. By pooling infrastructure, assets, and operations with industry peers, even competitors, organisations attending the Total Supply Chain Summit are unlocking new efficiencies while cutting carbon emissions. Shared warehousing, freight consolidation, and collaborative distribution networks are no longer fringe concepts. Instead, they are rapidly becoming essential tools in the modern logistics toolkit…
Shared Warehousing and Asset Utilisation
The traditional approach of operating proprietary distribution centres is being challenged by the emergence of shared, multitenant warehousing. In this model, businesses co-locate inventory in strategically placed facilities, often run by 3PLs, to reduce fixed costs, increase throughput flexibility, and ensure faster regional deliveries.
This approach is particularly beneficial for seasonal or fluctuating demand, enabling businesses to scale space up or down without long-term leases. It also improves asset utilisation with fewer empty shelves, fewer underused delivery vehicles, and less energy wasted on maintaining sparsely filled buildings.
Freight Consolidation and Backhaul Optimisation
One of the most impactful collaborative strategies is freight consolidation. By combining shipments headed to the same regions, businesses can significantly reduce the number of vehicles on the road. This not only cuts fuel costs and driver hours but also reduces congestion and carbon emissions.
Collaborative backhaul planning, i.e. filling vehicles on return trips with goods from another business, further maximises vehicle utilisation. Logistics tech platforms now enable real-time matching of available capacity with potential loads, allowing dynamic consolidation opportunities that weren’t possible a few years ago.
Technology as the Enabler
Key to the rise of collaborative logistics is the advancement of digital platforms that allow secure, real-time data sharing between stakeholders. Cloud-based transport management systems (TMS) and warehouse management systems (WMS) now support multi-party access, API integration, and AIpowered route optimisation. This facilitates coordination between shippers, carriers, and warehouse operators to find synergies across networks.
Blockchain and smart contracts are also being explored to ensure trust
and transparency in cost allocation, emissions tracking, and compliance.
Supporting ESG and Net Zero Targets
As more organisations work towards net zero, collaborative logistics offers a rare win-win: cost savings and demonstrable emissions reductions. Fewer vehicles, fuller loads, and shared infrastructure mean lower Scope 1 and 3 emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and less waste.
Government-backed initiatives, like the UK Logistics Emissions Reduction Scheme, are beginning to recognise and incentivise collaborative efforts, further aligning commercial outcomes with sustainability goals.
Collaboration is the new competitive advantage. By embracing shared logistics models, supply chain leaders can reduce costs, strengthen resilience, and meet the demands of a low-carbon future, all while delivering better outcomes for customers and the planet.
