abstract while computerized maintenance management system (cmms) enables maintenance managers and supervisors to access information about equipment, manpower and maintenance policies, there is still a need to facilitate getting data/information into the backend database where it can be utilized by the organization as information to make decisions regarding the operation of the organization. sig...

Efficiently, tracking information related to components, materials and equipment from the production/construction phase to operation and maintenance is a challenge in the industries. The industry environment is a natural fit for generating and utilizing instance-level data for decision support. Advanced electronic identification and data storage technologies e.g. radio frequency identification ...

RFID system (Radio Frequency Identification), an automatic identification system relying on exchange of information through radio frequency, is emerging as one of important technologies that find its use in various applications ranging from healthcare, construction, hospitality to transportation sector and many more. This paper describes about RFID technology, concentrating its use in improving...

Reader network planning (RNP) problem of radio frequency identification (RFID) system is a combinational optimization problem. In this study, we propose a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve this RNP problem. We have tested the proposed GA on several RNP problems and compare with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method by solving the same RNPs. The comparison results demonstrate that the propose...

Several implementations of chipless RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags are presented and discussed as low-cost alternatives to chip-based RFID tags and sensors. An overview of present-day near-field electromagnetic tagging is presented, including both chipbased and chipless technologies with associated costs. As a candidate for low-cost ID tags, a design theory and implementation is pre...

In the fields of production, manufacturing and supply chain management, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is regarded as one of the most important technologies. Nowadays, Mobile RFID, which is often installed in carts or forklift trucks, is increasingly being applied to the search for and checkout of items in warehouses, supermarkets, libraries and other industrial fields. In using Mobile R...

Recently, the use of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) for object identification is used more often, but the tag collision problem by the use of a radio frequency still exists. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed tag identification time to minimize tag collisions and improve tag identification time by applying various tag anti-collision algorithms in the suggested method. As a result, we d...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification (Auto-ID) technology which allows remote interrogation of ID data on RFID tags using radio frequency (RF) as a means of wireless communication between tagged objects and RFID readers. This paper studies whether so called ”networked RFID” systems can meet the timing constraints set by real-time industrial control applications. ...

In Today's world RFID (radio frequency identification) technology is one of the most popular technologies for tracking and tracing, whereby a person or an object is identified using Radio Frequency (RF) transmission using a special kind of a sensor network. Recently, radio frequency identifications (RFIDs) are used to identify the assets which are permanent objects used internally in business. ...
