The typical Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) architecture, defined by EPCglobal, comprises RFID tags, which are embedded or attached to objects, an RFID reader and Information Services (ISs) server. The RFID reader can be stationary or mobile; the latter enables more applications. This paper describes the core components required for realising a mobile RFID application, such as mobile RFID...

The online observation of a construction site and processes bears significant advantage to all business sector. BIM is the combination of a 3D model of the project and a project-planning program which improves the project planning model by up to 6D (Adding Time, Cost and Material Information dimensions to the model). RFID technology is an appropriate information synchronization tool between the...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology promises benefits that accrue from being able to identify and track individual goods in commercial supply chains. This helps in inventory management, reduces theft, can be used in conjunction with other sensor technology to identify damaged goods, and promises cost reductions. The objective of this paper is to identify potential threats to commer...

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables numerous business opportunities in fields as diverse as e-health, smart cities, smart homes, among many others. The IoT incorporates multiple long-range, short-range, and personal area wireless networks and technologies into the designs of IoT applications. Localisation in indoor positioning systems plays an important role in the IoT. Location Based IoT appl...

In this study we propose a manufacturing control framework based on radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and a distributed information system to construct a mass-customization production process in a loosely coupled shop-floor control environment. On the basis of this framework, we developed RFID middleware and an integrated information system for tracking and controlling the manufa...

The application of the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology establishes the base for the realization of the quick automation of ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning). Starting from the application background, the application of the RFID technology is discussed in this article, and the structure and characteristics of the RFID technology applied in ERP are analyzed. Combining with the ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that changes the nature of many industries. The readiness to implement RFID affects the effectiveness of company itself and corresponding supply chain members in adopting this technology. This manuscript proposes a framework which covering organization, environment, and technology three facets with two metrics for each facet. The proposed fr...

RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, technology is a contactless automatic identification technology about which a lot of researches and developments are recently progressing. For this RFID technology to be widely spread, the problem of multiple tag identification, which a reader identifies a multiple number of tags in a very short time, has to be solved. So far, several anti-collision algorit...

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology is making inroads in healthcare. Such kind of up gradation must be provided to health care industry. It reflects better results in; improvement of patient assistance, medication flaws will be omitted, patient identification becomes easier, and to locate and track capital instruments in the hospital. Meanwhile RFID technology seems effective; in c...

To lessen the threat of an intentional or naturally occurring livestock disease, the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture introduced the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), encouraging the use of innovative tools such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to track cattle across the country. In this study, the author examines the...
