There have been significant interests in developing and applying RFID technology in manufacturing and supply chain management over the recent years. However, the progress is slow and far behind original mandates. Discussions are still focused on basic questions on reading distances, choice of frequencies, and where readers and tags should be deployed. Less attention has been placed upon the integration of RFID technology into manufacturing and logistics business processes and operations.
Nevertheless, a number of exploratory companies have made brave steps in applying RFID technology and many efforts have successfully survived in being introduced into their day-to-day operations. Substantial insights have been accumulated and critical lessons have been learnt from these early successful industrial practices.
This book serves as a platform for researchers and industrialists to share these valuable experiences by reporting on industrial case studies. It is hoped that directions for future research applications can be identified from these pioneering cases.
Riassunto
Although not a new technology, RFID has emerged as most effective and efficient in collecting real-time data from manufacturing and logistics processes and operations. There have been significant interests in developing and applying RFID technology in manufacturing and supply chain management over the recent years.
