As for me, I have always enjoyed puzzles and problem solving

That is what SE is all about. You begin by analyzing a particular (in my case, business) problem and design a solution. There was a time that supply chains were handled with folks who were directed around a warehouse picking stuff by a piece of paper. Afterwards, they returned the piece of paper and someone else recorded the results . They picked and/or recorded the wrong stuff. Their day was fraught with redundant movement and inaccuracy.

Warehouse management systems were developed by sofware engineers to completely address that problem. The solution is not only composed of various hard- and software components, but more importantly a complete change in the process workflow as a result of the analysis. Merely automating inefficient processes worsens the problem. Products are barcode scan verified for accuracy. Goods are picked in efficient "waves" to optimize the material handler's time. Two leaders in hard core logistics, Wal-Mart and the DOD, are now fully RFID compliant. That is a further evolution of the concept that involved yet another level of completely rethinking the process and arriving at various new components (both hard and sofware based) to fulfill the new process flow. Coming to a store or grocery near you in the not to distant future. The implications of RFID technology are enormous.
