Abstract: Abstract This chapter is a comprehensive exploration of the various technologies that play a pivotal role in gathering data, thereby transforming and optimizing logistics operations. It begins by emphasizing the importance of automatic data collection and subsequently delves into the world of barcodes, including traditional 1D barcodes, GTIN, EAN, UPC, and 2D barcodes like QR codes. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is extensively discussed, covering passive and active RFID tags, EPC, GTAG, and system components. The chapter proceeds to explore digital scales, handheld terminals, touchscreens, kiosks, wearable systems, and advanced technologies like voice picking, augmented reality (AR), drones, IoT, sensors, cameras, and AI, showcasing how they enhance data collection in logistics. GPS and the role of RFID in combating counterfeiting conclude the chapter, offering a holistic view of how data collection technologies revolutionize the logistics landscape.
