The minimum hardware you will need are tags and readers. You will then need software to understand the tags the reader is reading and software to make information out of this data. Tagging is done based upon necessity. How important is an item? How frequently is a crate split? Generally use barcodes on small items, passive RFID (pRFID) on a case, active RFID (aRFID) on a pallet, and GPS on a shipment.
