Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has garnered much attention in recent years as a method of supplanting the barcode. The uniqueness that RFID has engendered, allowing an instance of a product to be tracked, has raised some important privacy concerns. RFID technology has also promised to increase the amount of aggregate data that is collected. When dealing with data, especially the tremendo...

 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is used to identify the characteristics of an object wirelessly using radio waves. The purpose of this technology in this study is mainly focused on healthcare for inventory management and theft control replacing the manual logs. The storage and tracking of high-cost inventory items is developed. Automatic reordering and billing interfaces are designed for...

Low-cost RFID tags are already being used for supply chain management and are a promising new technology that can be used to support the security of wireless ubiquitous applications. However current RFID technology is designed to optimize performance, with less attention paid to resilience and security. In this paper we analyze some of the most common types of attack on RFID tags: unauthorized ...

Implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology stands to save WalMart $750 million dollars per year. The retail giant has mandated that its top 100 suppliers begin using RFID by 2005. It is believed that other retailers will follow Wal-Mart’s lead. RFID holds the promise for a more efficient supply-chain, however, the industry struggles to comply with the cost and logistics ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology one of the most promising technologies in the field of ubiquitous computing. Indeed, RFID technology may well replace barcode technology. Although it offers many advantages over other identification systems, there are also associated security risks that are not easy to be addressed. When designing a real lightweight authentication protocol for lo...

Short for radio frequency identification, RFID is a dedicated short range communication technology. The term RFID is used to describe various technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. RFID is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using RFID tag. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been attracting considerable attention with the ex...

The main objective of this paper is to analyze RFID technology as an innovation concept through the lens of the diffusion of innovation theory. Drawing on the extant literature on the diffusion of innovations –with an emphasis on innovation classifications and the “open innovation”–, as well as on an analysis of a longitudinal case study conducted in a Canadian beverage supply chain currently e...

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology bridges two technologies in the area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), namely Product Code (PC) technology and Wireless technology. This broad-based rapidly expanding technology impacts business, environment and society. The operating principle of an RFID system is as follows. The reader starts a communication process by radiat...

Presented paper concentrate on using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technologyin supply chain management. Today the RFID technology can not only be enterprise assets, but alsothe movement of products, containers, vehicles and other assets across vast geographical areas.Supply chain management is the management of material, information and finance througha network of organ...

Purpose – This paper aims to explore and describe the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology on inventory accuracy within a production and assembly plant, and to propose a model for assessing the impact of the technology on inventory accuracy. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical investigation, based on case study research, focuses on an RFID implementation at a suppl...
