Some Applications of RFID in Manufacturing Engineering

Three of the major technical challenges that restricted RFID applications in manufacturing engineering were investigated in this paper. The three challenges are: interference and reader collision, liquids and metal items, and antenna positioning and orientation. The progress in overcoming these challenges and the technical solutions to these barriers were surveyed. Some applications of RFID in ...

Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications Devolved Manufacturing

Recent changes in the product creation process have shown reductions in design and manufacturing time and costs due to the introduction of new manufacturing philosophies, and computer based methods. Major improvements have also been found in the distribution phase by use of sophisticated logistic scheduling and monitoring systems. However reductions in delivery costs and times look set to be re...
