RFID for Retail Store Information Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the use of RFID (Radio Frequency Id) technology on supply chain management (SCM) systems for a retail store chain. RFID technology may trigger frequent activities in the supply chain such as inventory processing and reordering. We classify the RFID readings according to the transactions they may trigger. We then use the classification to estimate the information processing load rate. A possible application of RFID in retail stores is in shelf replenishment systems. We present a cost benefit analysis for such an application. Our formulas for computing load rates and conducting cost benefit analysis will be of use to information system designers.

متن کاملA hierarchical model of the impact of RFID practices on retail supply chain performance
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of RFID practices on retail supply chain performance. Empirical data was collected via an online survey of 300 retail companies, with 43.3% response rate. A hierarchical regression model was developed with eight RFID practices (warehouse, central warehouse, local warehouse, store, Standards, Transportation, Pallet, and software) as independent variables a...
متن کاملRFID-enabled Supply Chain Collaboration Services in a Networked Retail Business Environment
Since the early 1990s, there has been a growing understanding that supply chain management should be built around information sharing and collaboration among supply chain partners. The emergence of RFID technology is expected to revolutionize many of the collaborative supply chain processes and to empower new collaboration scenarios, such as anti-counterfeiting, product recall and reverse logis...
متن کاملRFID Tag Reader Designs for Retail Store Applications
Current RFID tag readers do not do much more than reading the tags and transmitting that information to a central server for processing. This places a heavy burden on the central server to keep track of all the incoming data from the reader when it can be spending its time more gainfully on other tasks. We propose building some intelligence into RFID tag readers so that they can process some of...
متن کاملThe Consumer's View
73 Consumers need to feel they have control over the RFID infrastructure before they routinely trust its services. In his seminal 1991 Scientific American article " The Computer for the 21st Century, " Mark Weiser, an early visionary of ubiquitous computing , wrote " the [social] problem [associated with ubiquitous com-puting], while often couched in terms of privacy, is really one of control. ...
