Abstract Purpose of this paper: The objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach to evaluate the most suitable RFID-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. Design/methodology/approach: R...

291 words) Over the past decade, several industries have considered Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to improve supply chain efficiency. In Japan, the national Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) initiated and sponsored a number of industry-wide RFID trials between 2003 and 2006. It selected the Japanese publishing industry, one of the largest publishing industries i...

The book provides a comprehensive coverage on most recent developments in chipless and conventional RFID. It covers a wide range of topics from component level design, analysis, and development, to system integration, middleware, anti-collision, and security protocols. The chipless RFID will bring revolutionary impacts on low-cost item tagging in this millennium. The RFID based sensors and RF s...

Mobile RFID is a new application that provides a valuable service to users with mobile communication. Current RFID authentication schemes are not viable to use in mobile RFID environment. Since unlike in regular RFID environments, whereas the communication channel between the server and the reader is assumed to be secure, the communication channel between the server and reader in the mobile RFI...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) innovations have gained considerable attention in the last several years and attracted the attention of organizations across different industries. RFID technologies have found applications in diverse areas such as package tracking, inventory management, baggage handling, school attendance, and logistics. Prior literature on RFID innovations offers insights ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) and radio frequency identification (RFID) are base technologies employed in decentralized dynamic environments. In the hybrid network that is induced by integrating RFID WSN, data can be used applying WSN protocols for multi-hop communications. data, however, includes a significant amount of duplicate information, which lengthens response time consumes more energy...

BACKGROUND Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) has been widely used in healthcare facilities, but it has been paid little attention whether RFID applications are safe enough under healthcare environment. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of RFID tags on Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging in a typical electromagnetic environment in hospitals, and to evaluate the safety of their ap...

The present study offers a methodology to investigate the potential impacts of integrating RFID technology in one specific retail supply chain. Based on empirical data gathered from four tightly interrelated firms from three layers of a supply chain, several scenarios integrating RFID technology have been tested and evaluated. In the context of warehousing activities, the results indicate that ...

Privacy is a major concern in RFID systems, especially with widespread deployment of wireless enabled interconnected personal devices. In this paper, we consider privacy issues in RFID systems where the authorized readers must be able to identify tags without an adversary being able to trace them, and provide a formal security model for privacy in RFID system. Under this model, we analyze the r...

In this letter, 8-bit paper based printable chipless tag is presented. The tag not only justifies the green electronic concept but also it is examined for sensing functionality. The compact tag structure comprises of seven L-shaped and one I-shaped dipole structure. These conducting tracks/dipole structures are of silver nano-particle based ink having a conductivity of 1.1 × 107 S/m. Each condu...
