The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has gained interests in both academia and industry since its invention. In addition to the applications in access control and supply chain, RFID is also a cost-efficient solution for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and pervasive monitoring. The battery free RFID tags are used as independent electromagnetic sensors or energy harvesting and data ...

RFID system (Radio Frequency Identification), an automatic identification system relying on exchange of information through radio frequency, is emerging as one of important technologies that find its use in various applications ranging from healthcare, construction, hospitality to transportation sector and many more. This paper describes about RFID technology, concentrating its use in improving...

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...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is a technology that helps machines identify objects remotely. The RFID technology has been extensively used in many domains, such as mass transportation and healthcare management systems. The collected RFID data capture the detailed movement information of the tagged objects, offering tremendous opportunities for mining useful knowledge. Yet, publishing th...

In today’s global competitive environment, organizations face a variety of challenges. Many organizations are adopting radio frequency identification technologies (RFID) as part of their information supply chains. These technologies provide many benefits to the organizations that use them. However, how these technologies affect consumers and their willingness to adopt the technology is often ov...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) uses radio frequency technology for automated identification. The use of RFID brings the second source of information to enterprise management. It is said the second source is because, in the conventional approach, the information is shared among the various units through an integrated enterprise system. In this study, we define three layers of networks, i....

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automated identification technology that uses tags to transmit data upon RFID reader queries. Compared to barcodes identification technology, RFID tags provide a unique identifier, which raises concerns over user privacy, such as clandestine tracking and inventorying [1]. In its original version, a RFID tag responds to a reader query with its fixed un...

Radio Frequency Identification also known as RFID technology has been commercially available since World War II. Early applications of RFID were for military purposes. In recent years, interest has turned toward supply chain management, such as monitoring and tracking business process. Many global companies have already invested in RFID business solutions. New Zealand has a number of successful...

Even though numerous articles and real life cases have highlighted the benefits of radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking for supply chainmanagement for almost a decade, companies are rather slow to implement the technology. This paper concentrates on researching the reasons for the slow adoption of RFID tracking in the supply chain management using literature review and multiple case s...

This article reviews the use of implantable radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags in humans, focusing on the VeriChip (VeriChip Corporation, Delray Beach, FL) and the associated VeriMed patient identification system. In addition, various nonmedical applications for implanted RFID tags in humans have been proposed. The technology offers important health and nonhealth benefits, but raises eth...
