چکیده
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become important to distribution and logistics operations due to current mandates by Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense. In order to meet these mandates, distribution operations have to re-layout their distribution facilities to accommodate these RFID systems. This transcript describes a layout algorithm that supports optimizing the design of RFID system and allocation of space for this optimized system by improving facility design. The methodology described includes integrating multi-objective architectural approach involving data environment analysis, RFID interrogation zone optimization, and evaluating layout improvement alternatives using BLOCPLAN software that uses a computer aided algorithm approach.
