As a vital and integrated part of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) system, RFID antennas have been received much attention over years, and their design is very urgent and significant. In fact, the development of RFID antenna is of theoretical significance and practical value for the RFID system. In this chapter, the RFID technology is briefly introduced, and the operating principle of ...

The paper primarily suggests the use of RFID technology to provide an efficient and enhanced automated ticketing system. The principle aim of the paper is to improve the efficiency of the prevailing suggested RFID ticketing system by considering and overcoming its limitations. The prevailing system proposes the installation of RFID reader circuit in each and every bus stop to facilitate the cal...

A radio frequency identification device (RFID) is a type of information technology used to improve supply chain management through an enhanced visualization of products. The RFID market in the U.S healthcare industry has been projected to be approximately $297 million and has been expected to grow at a rapid speed. RFID had a great impact on the hospital supply chain. It has been demonstrated t...

─ In this paper we provide the basis of using radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for advertisement. Two RFID tags that apply to the 866 MHz and 915 MHz operating frequencies, respectively, were designed based on the logos of two universities participating in this project. Several fabrication methods were used to build the RFID tags on different substrates. The experimental results exhib...

The challenges that logistics faces in the retail industry must be investigated in the context of the specific retail sector as well as the degree of development of the retail market. The research focus in this paper is on logistic processes in supermarket supply. The aim is to deepen the understanding of logistic processes and then to investigate the possibilities of their enhancement by apply...

Knowledge of the status of site spaces is critical to generating effective and reliable site layout plans. Previous approaches to site layout planning advocate generating layouts based on the planned project schedule which do not reflect the actual status of the project in terms of activities, resources and associated spaces. As such, this questions the reliability of the generated site layouts...

Digital radio-frequency communication technology (which we refer to below simply as Digital Wireless or DW) has been available for many years. Recently, miniaturisation and the application of mass production techniques have led to new uses such as RFID tagging, which interests the retail industry and distributors. Such non-traditional uses of RF communication brings DW technology into increasin...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are now appearing in many systems and applications across enterprises and vertical markets. Spurred on by efficiencies and mandates from both private and public entities, the once obscure RFID technology of just a few years ago, is now becoming the preeminent method to meet the growing demand for tracking and identify assets and products throughout ...

This paper reviews the background of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems as well as the ethical foundations of individual privacy. A number of applications were also explored with the intention of identifying the technology’s benefits and possible misuses. The authors offer an overview and discussion of the most important ethical issues concerning RFID, describe, and examine some meth...

In the coming future ubiquitous society, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags will be affixed to every product and person. This technology is anticipated to be a key technology that will be utilized by various ubiquitous services where these tags will be used to identify things and people and will automatically take advantage of contextual information such as location. On the other hand, ...
