rfid has lots of potential benefits for supply chain management; that`s why it has attracted many industry practitioners all around the world, especially in recent years. rfid is one of the key solutions that information technology has provided for industry. the main issue in implementing and also developing this unique technology in the supply chain management of every industry appears to be t...

introduction: applying information technology in healthcare system is one of the most important criteria of the world health organization for evaluating the quality of healthcare systems of different countries. moreover, applying this technology in different parts of health care system can create great potentials for improving the quality of healthcare services. in this regard, radio frequency ...

processing and recovery is a key functional element in municipal solid waste management system (mswms). reuse, recycle and recovery of valuable components of waste stream are given much attention in mswms in both developed and developing countries. the main concern of municipalities is the sound management of recyclable materials. source separation as a best practice for management of trash and...

Mobile RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a new application to use mobile phone as RFID reader with a wireless technology and provides new valuable services to user by integrating RFID and ubiquitous sensor network infrastructure with mobile communication and wireless internet. However, there are an increasing number of concerns, and even some resistances, related to consumer tracking and...

The industrial Internet of Things (IoT) is aiming to interconnect humans, machines, materials, processes and services in a network. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises the less power consuming, light weight and effective Sensor Nodes (SNs) for higher network performance. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and sensor networks are both wireless technologies that provide limitless future po...

a typical radio frequency identification system (rfid) includes one reader and a number of tags. the reader transmit to commands to the tags with interrogation radio signals, and tags receive the command and then respond with their identification. readers with interrogation signals can read tags’ responses. in rfid systems, when multiple tags respond to one reader simultaneously, tag collision ...

The presented paper demonstrates how metamaterials with their unique properties and structures derived from metamaterials can offer solutions to overcome technical limitations of passive and chipless wireless sensor and RFID concepts. Basically, the metamaterial approach allows for miniaturization, higher sensitivity, and an extreme geometric flexibility. Miniaturization is certainly important ...

Despite the increasing popularity of mobile information systems, the actual processes leading to the innovation of mobile technologies remain largely unexplored. This study uses Action Research to examine the innovation of a mobile RFID technology. Working from Activity Theory, it departs from the prevalent product-oriented view of innovation and treats technology-in-the-making as a complex act...

Abstract Purpose of this paper: The purpose of this article is to review some of the most prominent applications of RFID in industries and to provide a comprehensive review of the work done from 1985 through 2007 and the research trend on that. The effectiveness of RFID and the challenges that it is facing with are also discussed. Some applications of radio frequency identification in supply ...
