As a supporting technology for most pervasive applications, indoor localization and navigation has attracted extensive attention in recent years. Conventional solutions mainly leverage techniques like WiFi and cellular network to effectively locate the user for indoor localization and navigation. In this paper, we investigate the problem of indoor navigation by using the RFID-based delay tolera...

max. 10 lines) The production series of complex technical equipment (e.g. cars and utility vehicles) is characterized by a large variety of assemblies and components. From the start to end of a production assemblies are often changed multiple times. Against this background manufacturers focus more and more on reworking and reusing parts to ensure the long-term supply of spare parts. For reuse p...

We think of flip chip as a solution for better performance, high I/O or absolute size reduction. But a new and exciting technology is now emerging where the flip chip is the unique answer to extreme cost reduction in a very low I/O product, the RFID tag. RFIDs are Radio Frequency Identification systems tiny two-way radios with immense commercial potential. The simplest design consists of an ant...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been widely used in supporting the logistics management on manufacturing shopfloors where production resources attached with RFID facilities are converted into smart manufacturing objects (SMOs) which are able to sense, interact, and reason to create a ubiquitous environment. Within such environment, enormous data could be collected and used for support...

This article provides some insights into Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and the Electronic Product Code (EPC) Network and investigates their impacts as enablers of Mobile Business (M-Business). “M-business is the application infrastructure required to maintain business relationship and sell information, services, and commodities by means of the mobile devices”. Based on empiri...

RFID systems known to improve supply chains performances are not well-implemented in industry, particularly in the field of transport, due to the high economic investment it requests in comparison to other existing solutions. However, their benefits may be theoretically proved by using a distributed simulation platform to support the design and test of any technical solution and organisational ...

Technologies of identification by radio frequencies (RFID) experience a fast development and healthcare is predicted to be one of its major growth areas. After briefly introducing the common terminology of the RFID field and its current standards, this paper describes how this emerging technology can be used to build a smart hospital. Indeed, used in combination with mobile devices in eHealth a...

Smart parking is a typical IoT application that can benefit from advances in sensor, actuator and RFID technologies to provide many services to its users and parking owners of a smart city. This paper considers a smart parking infrastructure where sensors are laid down on the parking spots to detect car presence and RFID readers are embedded into parking gates to identify cars and help in the b...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a group of technologies used to identify or track electronic devices (RFID tags or transponders), typically applied to or incorporated into products, animals, or even persons, using radio waves or electromagnetic fields. RFID systems have various applications, with the most prevalent one being enterprise supply chain management to improve the efficiency ...

Android is a very popular system in Chinese mobile phone market, while radio frequency identification device (RFID) which is originally used in fields of retail and logistics etc., is going to be installed into Android to realize the visualization of commodity information (including the updating, discounting, and after-sale service) and the general use for publics. This study firstly discussed ...
