Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology aimed at efficiently identifying products that has greatly influenced the manufacturing businesses in recent years. Although the RFID technology has been widely accepted by the manufacturing and retailing sectors, there are still many issues regarding its scalability, security and privacy. With regard to privacy, the sharing of identificatio...

This book is a comprehensive guide to networks of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based Electronic Product Codes (EPCs) in supply chains, and its topics range from standardised hardware designs through known vulnerabilities, security and privacy models, and to concrete proposals for RFID authentication in various scenarios: machine readable documents, oneand two-way authentication in supp...

Automatic identification data capture technologies are becoming increasingly important in the management of supply chain, manufacturing flow management, mobile asset tracking, inventory management, warehousing, and any application where physical items move through location in time. Tracking these items has historically been done by the use of bar-code technologies, which suffer from lack of eff...

In this study, the author examines organizations’ perceptions of the importance of absorptive capacity attributes in the deployment of radio frequency identification (RFID) in a supply chain and their relationships with operational efficiency and market knowledge creation as moderated by information technology infrastructure integration and supply chain process integration. Data was collected u...

This paper aims at quantitatively assessing the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and electronic product code (EPC) system on the main processes of the fashion industry supply chain. A fashion supply chain, composed of a distribution centre (DC) and a retail store (RS), is examined. A questionnaire survey and several site visits were performed to collect both quantitati...

Today’s strong competitive conditions force companies to satisfy customer demands as well as possible (dependability) at the lowest possible cost and on time. Thus, companies try to develop new strategies and solutions to improve the quality of their supply chains and to reduce their operational costs. In the past few years, Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technologies have drawn signific...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a group of technologies used to identify or track electronic devices (RFID tags or transponders), typically applied to or incorporated into products, animals, or even persons, using radio waves or electromagnetic fields. RFID systems have various applications, with the most prevalent one being enterprise supply chain management to improve the efficiency ...

Order location information is undoubtedly one of the most critical pieces of supply chain information. Yet supply chain visibility generally remains a challenge as observations of order progress are often irregular and collected manually. The emergence of Automated Identification (Auto-ID) technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is improving the effectiveness of supply chain tra...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of the most promising technological innovations in order to track and trace products as well material flow manufacturing systems. High Frequency (HF) Ultra (UHF) RFID systems can a wide range part production process via radio waves with level accuracy reliability. As result, quality transparency data across supply chain be accurately obtained decreas...
