Innovative data collection technologies such as RFID have proved their practicability and economic efficiency in the fields of trade and stock-working keeping, but for the use in the manufacturing industry, however, a number of further uncertainties have to be taken into account. Within the framework of the Sm@rt Logistics project both factors shall be proved in the field which deals with supplying...
The industrial sector of cheese production with specific quality protection occupies a relevant position in the industrial context of the European Union. In order for the sector to improve the competitiveness, solutions with emphasis in technological innovations should be done which increases the automation and quality control in the productive process. Moreover, the laws regulating the food industry...
A low-power low-noise amplifier (LNA) operating at 2.45 GHz has been designed for RFID applications. LNA provides a gain of about 14.5 dB, and a noise figure of 0.65 dB at the design frequency. Power consumption of LNA is measured as 6.5 mW and verified with Hspice.
In this work we present a system architecture based on a data warehouse coupled with data mining functionalities which, by mean of the RFID technology, is capable of sending personalized offers to customers in the area of interest in real-time. The offer personalization process is performed by mean of a clustering technique based on a fuzzy extension of the SQL language.
This paper presents a study on localization and tracking of an object carrying an active RFID tag. The study incorporates processing of the signals received from transmitters, in a way to locate and track the coordinate in an indoor environment. During the course of the project, both outdoor and indoor experiments have been conducted. Empirical distance vs signal strength formulations are formed by...
Supply chain event management (SCEM) systems aim at detecting the occurrence of negative events -such as a delayed shipment -and suggesting measures that help limiting negative implications. The main functions of such a system include process monitoring, proactive notification of process managers in case of deviations, simulation of the effects of the event on the process, providing options for action...
Recently, the employment of RFID technology is becoming more widely. Especially, as smart devices become much smaller and more powerful, mobile RFID application domain grows up in high speed. And mobile or mini-type RFID devices are applied for people much more than before. However there lack of platform to support for these RFID device of miniaturization which have to work for enterprise information...
In this paper, we propose a new receiver scheme equipped with quadruple diversity capability in UHF-band RFID reader system. The quadruple diversity receiver outperforms the conventional 1/Q diversity receiver by making use of additional signal paths. In particular, it is shown that the larger is the phase difference between the reader and the tag, the larger performance improvement we have. The performance...
Product design of systems includes issues like conceptual design, product development and testing. Once the system is launched into the market, issues like warranty, maintenance and product lifecycle are of interest. Thus design and manufacturing decisions must be made on the basis of product characteristics such as its functionality, reliability and maintainability. The objective of the present work...
Tracking of goods within logistics has become an increased area of interest recently. RFID technology in the UHF band is a rather new instrument of tracking goods in this sector. Instead of performing extensive field tests and case studies, this article suggests a simpler and more efficient method of planning UHF RFID systems by using RF propagation results from ray tracing predictions. Two showcase...
RFID tags are an automatic means of identification and allow additional storage of information. Presently, it is estimated that RFID tags will replace bar codes, because one and the same tag can store the information carried by multiple bar codes. However, the current needs require a greater storage capacity than that which is available at present. At the same time, there is a strong relationship...
It is a fact that radio frequency identification technology (RFID) can benefit enterprises and contribute to their integration to supply chains. Several issues emerge concerning technology and economy of introducing and applying the system, especially in small and medium sized businesses. In 2005 Department of logistics and forwarding of Szechenyi Istvan University joined the program INTERREG IIIC...
RFID technology that is being used since World War II has got such much cheaper that it is possible to see applications from health sector to retail depending on that technology. Path finder, of which it is designed for the mainly the blind, is an RFID based application which stems from nonexplicit requirements and aims for user group to reach the target within a nonfamiliar or totally unknown campus...
The standardization of discovery services by EPCglobal is still pending Current. However, a lightweight EPCDS platform is necessary in track & trace information of RFID-tagged products, and, it isn't easy to develop a full-fledged discovery services in the mid-level companies due to the prototypical developing cost and/or the integrating cost to the EPCglobal Network. In this paper, we will show...
In this paper, an effective filter in RFID data process is proposed. In the progress of updating barcode system to RFID system, many commercial systems need the RFID middleware transmitting the processed data of one commercial operation to the application business logic layer in one time automatically. In this way, the modification or change of some current commercial systems will be little, and cost...
Construction industry has dynamic and uncontrolled environments, where tracking components/materials and accessing related information are challenging tasks. Failure in effectively tracking components/materials and in accessing the related information on demand results in schedule delays and additional labor costs. Due to long read ranges, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology holds the...
With the current RFID technology the transfer of energy takes place on a chip card by means of longitudinal wave components in close range of the transmitting antenna. Those are scalar waves, which spread towards the electrical or the magnetic field pointer. In the wave equation with reference to the Maxwell field equations, these wave components are set to zero, why only postulated model computations...
This paper presents Web platform for business relations among great enterprises, corporations and groups, in order to optimize materials control on the entire supply chain. Each item and component will bear a transponder which allows their unique identification. Thus, on the basis of identification codes attached to materials and subassemblies, components and origin of each finished article, as well...
This paper will explore the interplay between the retailer's dilemma of product shrinkage and the solutions advocated by RFID vendors and associations to minimise product shrinkage. RFID as an emerging technology holds the potential to fulfil the needs of stakeholders in the supply chain.
Growing competition and increasing demands from customers are forcing small manufacturers to consider investments in advanced technologies. For many reasons, such investments are often difficult to justify by means of a traditional economic analysis alone. As a result, it is often necessary to consider the system wide benefits associated with ATs in order to justify their adoption. The objective of...
