Mobile RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a new application to use mobile phone as RFID reader with a wireless technology and provides new valuable services to user by integrating RFID and ubiquitous sensor network infrastructure with mobile communication and wireless internet. However, there are an increasing number of concerns, and even some resistances, related to consumer tracking and...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology with possible applications in the supply chain. RFID tags' fast read rates, non-line-of-sight identification and large storage capacity may revolutionize supply chains in the defense industry and commercial world. Widespread adoption of RFID will require that companies achieve a return on their investment. System interactions betwee...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, due to recent technological advances, have been used for various advantages in industries like production facilities, supply chain management etc. However, this can require a dense deployment of readers to cover the working area. Without optimizing reader's location and number, many of them can be redundant, reducing the efficiency of the whole RFI...

The main objective of this article is to provide some insights into radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and the electronic product code (EPC) network and investigates their impacts on mobile B2B eCommerce. Based on empirical data gathered from interrelated firms of a supply chain, several scenarios integrating the RFID–EPC network have been tested in a pilot project and evaluated. ...

Volume 22, Article x, pp., January 2008 In today’s global competitive environment, organizations face a variety of challenges. Continuous improvement in organizational efficiencies and improving the entire supply chain are necessary to stay competitive. Many organizations are adopting radio frequency identification technologies (RFID) as part of their information supply chains. These technologi...

It is generally assumed that Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has the potential to organize the flow of material in supply chains more efficiently. Based on the two-tiered Joint Economic Lot Size (JELS) model by Banerjee, this article analyzes how the increase in efficiency affects the order and production policies and therefore the total costs of the supply chain, and the individual costs...

Conceivably one of the most successful technologies in the history of retail supply chain has been bar code identification along with the Universal Product Code (UPC) symbology and numbering system (Larurer). The first item with a UPC bar code, taken to a cashier for scanning by a customer, was a 10-pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit chewing gum. It happened on June 26, 1974, at Marsh’s supermarket ...

The industrial Internet of Things (IoT) is aiming to interconnect humans, machines, materials, processes and services in a network. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises the less power consuming, light weight and effective Sensor Nodes (SNs) for higher network performance. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and sensor networks are both wireless technologies that provide limitless future po...
