Abstract:

Innovative solutions are pivotal in pursuing sustainable development in Somalia, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology stands out as a transformative enabler. The challenges posed by growing cargo volumes and the imperative of efficient supply chain management have catalyzed the need for inventive approaches in port logistics. RFID technology creates a dependable and automated mechanism for identifying, monitoring, and orchestrating cargo, containers, and assets across the port ecosystem. This paper delivers a comprehensive overview of the applications of RFID within port logistics, encompassing container tracking, real-time inventory oversight, autonomous cargo manipulation, and elevated security with amplified visibility. Exploiting the potential of RFID empowers ports to unlock heightened operational efficiency, cost reduction, error mitigation, and an overarching performance enhancement. The research underscores the advantages, obstacles, and future potentials of RFID assimilation in port logistics, charting a course toward more robust, responsive, and sustainable maritime trading systems in Somalia.

Keywords:
