John Hill was a pioneering officer of automatic data collection, material handling and supply chain systems firms with over 100 successful AIDC (bar code, radio frequency identification), material handling equipment and warehouse, labor and transportation management information systems deployments. I met John many years ago when he was doing a data collection/WMS road show promoting the benefits of real-time data collection and product tracking. Mr. Hill died in April 2024 having lived a long life and leaving an imprint on the supply chain industry. This is a refresh of an interview I did with John circa 2020.
