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 ...

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...
