Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has already been explored for efficient self-localization of indoor mobile robots. A mobile robot equipped with RFID readers detects passive RFID tags installed on the floor in order to locate itself. The Monte-Carlo localization (MCL) method enables the localization of a mobile robot equipped with an RFID system with reasonable accuracy, suffici...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags have emerged as a key technology for real-time asset tracking. Wide application of RFID leads to huge amounts of data being generated from scan of each of these RFID tags on individual items, for example, the RFID system of a moderate size retail chain will generate 300 million RFID scans per day. Extracting meaningful information out of this huge amou...

Simulation and Analysis of RFID Localization Algorithms. Radio frequency identification (RFID) based localization systems provide a unique approach to localize mobile entities equipped with RFID readers or tagged with RFID tags. UHF RFID systems using passive tags are a good choice considering their cost, reading range, and reliability. With global acceptance and deployment of UHF RFID systems ...

as a response to a growing interest in rfid systems such as internet of things technology along with satisfying the security of these networks, proposing secure authentication protocols are indispensable part of the system design. hence, authentication protocols to increase security and privacy in rfid applications have gained much attention in the literature. in this study, security and privac...

efficient system design and training human resources with the necessary skills is essential for every organization. managers' skills in using information technology results in greater efficiency at work and make decisions based on the information. this study investigates the design quality criteria and standards for rfid technology strategic management of university libraries is discussed....

Today barcode is the dominant auto-ID technology in the automotive supply chain. The prevalence of barcode is likely to affect the adoption and diffusion of RFID technology. In this paper, we focus on the migration from barcode to RFID in the automotive industry and point out the relevance of barcode for future RFID rollouts. We study the case of a RFID pilot project to derive a concept for man...

We argue that sensing and computation platforms that leverage RFID technology can realize “smart-dust” applications that have eluded the sensor network community. RFID sensor networks (RSNs), which consist of RFID readers and RFID sensor nodes (WISPs), extend RFID to include sensing and bring the advantages of small, inexpensive and long-lived RFID tags to wireless sensor networks. We describe ...

The typical Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) architecture, defined by EPCglobal, comprises RFID tags, which are embedded or attached to objects, an RFID reader and Information Services (ISs) server. The RFID reader can be stationary or mobile; the latter enables more applications. This paper describes the core components required for realising a mobile RFID application, such as mobile RFID...

RFID-technologies have been described as major enabling technologies for automated, contactless data collection. We conveyed a quantitative survey of 463 executives across various industries in Germany to investigate about the perceived strategic importance of RFID among IT decision makers, current RFID usage, companies' intentions to invest in RFID and visions of RFID application. The survey r...
