-RFID technology is one of automatic identification technologies. In current RFID systems, RFID data are managed and processed by a middleware. In the near future, when RFID technology will be applied to large scale warehouses, airports, or seaports, it is necessary that wireless sensors integrated a RFID reader construct wireless sensor network because of difficulties of building wired network...

Recently, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has received considerable attention and is considered to be the next wave of information technology revolution. The number of RFID applications in different industries is increasing continuously. Cumulative sales of RFID tag is up in 2006 which shows RFID adoption trend in industries to improve their efficiency of operations and to gain a competit...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was originally invented for military uses. From 1980s, commercial RFID products started to be available and they were mainly applied in areas of supply chains, transport, manufacturing, personnel access, animal tagging, toll collection etc. Nowadays, RFID has been recognised as an emerging technology for ubiquitous positioning (UP), especially in...

RFID technologies are currently considered a hot topic in the IT arena and have been described as a major enabling technology for automated, contactless, wireless data collection. Little is known about the perceived strategic importance of RFID among IT decision makers, current RFID usage, companies' intentions to invest in RFID and companies’ visions of RFID application. This research contribu...

AbstrAct: The design of a secure communication scheme for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems has been extensively studied in recent years in view of the awareness of individual privacy and the requirement of robust system security. Most of previous works assume the communication channel between an RFID reader and its backend server is secure and concentrate on the security enhancemen...

As a core component of the Internet of Things technology (IoT), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagged items will add billions, perhaps trillions, of objects to the Internet. As a result, uses of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID sensing become massive ranging from logistics, retail and healthcare to homes and even entire smart cities. Under this trend, mobile UHF RFID scanners also need to...

In according to quantity of various consumption materials in construction sites of complex projects such as oil industry, infrastructure, and large scale commercial, management and monitoring of materials can affect on the final time and cost of project’s activities. In today’s world of rising labor costs and labor shortages, automated materials tracking can provide some advantage to impr...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the barriers and motivations for adopting RFID, the level of RFID implementation, the processes RFID is utilized in, and issues in the deployment of RFID. Design/methodology/approach a survey instrument was developed based on a literature review. The survey was then distributed to the members of the Association for Operations Management (APICS...

RFID (radio frequency identification) technology has already proved its use in various areas such as security, library, airline, military, animal forms, sports and other areas. RFID is being used for various applications in many industries. For example, equipment tracking, access controls including personal and vehicle, logistic, baggage, items security in departmental store. The main advantage...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has recently received a lot of attention as an augmentation and interface technology with physical and virtual objects in the ubiquitous computing domain. As RFID tags can be attached to any items, they can be used to provide various ubiquitous and tangible interfaces. Although a new paradigm shift in computing environments offers various opportunities for ...
