Even though numerous articles and real life cases have highlighted the benefits of radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking for supply chainmanagement for almost a decade, companies are rather slow to implement the technology. This paper concentrates on researching the reasons for the slow adoption of RFID tracking in the supply chain management using literature review and multiple case s...

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...

In this paper, an in-process tracking system is proposed to track the status of semi-finished products and coordinate the manufacturing forces. Since its reliability and flexibility, RFID technique has shown big advantages than the conventional Bar-code systems, especially to automate of floor shop management. Based on this availability, RFID solutions are ideal for manufacturers who build seve...

Wireless transmitters deployed throughout an indoor environment offer the opportunity for accurate location tracking of mobile users. Using radio signal information alone, it is possible to determine the location of a roaming node at close to meter-level accuracy. We are particularly concerned with applications in which the robustness of the locationtracking infrastructure is at stake. For exam...

Abstract Purpose of this paper: This paper presents an analysis toward understanding the business value components that a health care organization can drive by adopting RFID technology into its system. This researcher proposes a framework for evaluating the business value of RFID technology. To do so, emphasis is put on delivering business value through refining business processes and expandin...

This paper introduces WiTrack, a system that tracks the 3D motion of a user from the radio signals reflected off her body. It works even if the person is occluded from the WiTrack device or in a different room. WiTrack does not require the user to carry any wireless device, yet its accuracy exceeds current RF localization systems, which require the user to hold a transceiver. Empirical measurem...

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a large cyber-physical system centered around the Internet that connects not just computer systems but a plethora of systems, devices, and objects, collectively referred to as ”Things”. It encompasses technologies for identification and tracking, sensing and actuation, both wired and wireless communications, and also, intelligence and cognition. Wireless c...

In motion-compensated radiation therapy, radio-opaque markers can be implanted in or near a tumour and tracked in real-time using fluoroscopic imaging. Tracking these implanted markers gives highly accurate position information, except when tracking fails due to poor or ambiguous imaging conditions. This study investigates methods for automatic detection of tracking errors, and assesses the fre...

Purpose: Numerous studies suggest that Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology can provide improved container handling efficiency; however, there is a relative lack of research concerning tracking and monitoring of vehicle movement in the container terminal environment. This study therefore aims at assessing the feasibility of applying RFID for vehicle tracking purposes in a container ...
