For the adoption of radio frequency identification (RFID) to continue at or beyond its current pace, it is important to investigate the business value created by the technology. In previous studies, we have shown how RFID can improve instock position. Other studies have shown the benefit of RFID for promotional items. In this vein of continuing to prove the business case for RFID, we examine RF...

The increasing number of deployed RFID systems and the resulting need for fast recognition of a given amount of RFID tags puts great demand on future RFID readers. Applications requesting for a fast capture of RFID tags are mainly found in logistic and manufacturing processes. Imagine trucks driving through large RFID gates, where each RFID tagged package or even item has to be identified. Also...

Industrial and consumer applications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) are explored. The state-of-the-art and development in RFID technology is reviewed. A currently operative smart parts based manufacturing system is described which uses RFID as the key technology. The role of RFID in the emerging Wireless Internet Manufacturing field is highlighted.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology enables readers to scan remote RFID tags, and label the objects and people to which they are attached. Current cryptographic authentication protocols deployed in heterogeneous environments are often not compatible, or reveal too much information to the RFID readers. To tackle this problem, we introduce the concept of RFID groups and propose a hie...

Vehicle tracking plays more important roles in modern transportation and logistics operation. This paper deals with a new approach to track vehicles based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. The vehicle tracking system is designed overallly supported by Axiomatic Design theory. The basic steps of vehicle tracking based on RFID are developed and a six-layered architecture for th...

RFID is currently considered a hot topic in the IT arena. It is described as major enabling technology for automated contactless wireless data collection, and as an enabler for the real-time enterprise, a future vision of enterprise information systems. But little is known about the perceived strategic importance of RFID among IT decision makers, current RFID usage and areas of application, or ...

To explore the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field on the fate of neuronal cells, we investigated whether exposure to 915 MHz radiofrequency identification (RFID) caused morphological changes in neuronal cells in rat hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). A reverberation chamber was used as a whole-body RFID exposure system. Rats were assigned to two groups: shamand RFID-exposed groups. Ra...

701 Abstract— RFID is a widely adopted in the field of identification technology these days. Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) has wide applications in many areas including manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. Because limited resource RFID tags are used, various risks could threaten their abilities to provide essential services to users. A number of RFID protocols have done by res...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automated identification technology that uses tags to transmit data upon RFID reader queries. Compared to barcodes identification technology, RFID tags provide a unique identifier, which raises concerns over user privacy, such as clandestine tracking and inventorying [1]. In its original version, a RFID tag responds to a reader query with its fixed un...

A radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag is a small, inexpensive microchip that emits an identifier in response to a query from a nearby reader. The price of these tags promises to drop to the range of $0.05 per unit in the next several years, offering a viable and powerful replacement for barcodes. The challenge in providing security for low-cost RFID tags is that they are computationally w...
