A Brief Note On Radio Frequency Identification ( Rfid ) Technology

As RFID technology evolves and becomes less expensive, there will be an increase in the number of companies and vendors using the technology. Eventually, new applications will be developed and these systems may even be able to solve common or unique problems associated with business in today’s market.

To justify the objective I have begun the research with literature revi9ew and by collecting the secondary data from the articles, peer reviewed journals, related research papers and books. Journals and articles were important to understand the challenges and risk RFID technology is facing .I Addition to data collected from another sources are discussing with industries who implemented and using RFID technology to track their products, Reviews and people who are technically involved with RFID technology helped me to collect the data required for my

This will reduce the risks of medication errors that can seriously the harm patients, and cost the healthcare organization lots of money in order to compensate the patient, and to provide new drug dosage. Also, tis technology will help reduce the number of counterfeit prescription drugs that are given to the patients for a sick leave in the healthcare organizations. It is like mass sterilization of the prescription drugs where it ensures that each prescription is credible to use by the patient. The product will have a unique number to each prescription drug in order to record the to record information about all transactions involving the product. Overall, track and trace prescription drugs using RFID technology help in improving patient safety in and out side the healthcare

Nowadays, RFID has been used widely in many industrial services, distribution, manufacturing and security. It can help to identify and monitor items (products, people, animals, etc...) wirelessly within a specified range. Although RFID technology dates back to WWII, it has not been used commercially until fairly recently, when Wal-Mart began using it for inventory management. In an attempt to fully integrate the RFID system, thereby substantially saving on logistics and manpower costs, streamlining in-store automatic product management procedure, and raising the company overall operating efficiency Wal-Mart demanded that its top 100 suppliers to affix a RFID tag onto the packaging of the goods they supplied. In an effort to improve business and service quality, save time and effort.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become widely accepted as an instrumental tool in supply chain management. In addition to being a replacement for barcoding technology, RFID provides real time information, making the supply chain considerably more precise and improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the entire chain, including administration and planning activities.

In the paper by Michael, K, & McCathie, L, The pros and cons of RFID in supply chain management, Proceedings of the International Conference on Mobile Business, 11-13 July 2005, 623-629. Copyright IEEE 2005 they highlight key problems of RFID

Among all the technologies that have developed in the recent times, RFID has had the largest impact on the supply chain management system. RFID that stands for Radio Frequency Identification provides a real time tracking information of parts and products and is capable of maintaining it throughout the supply chain. This technology has proved itself as an efficient method to track the inventory and has a great potential in improving the supply chain management system as a whole. The information system of any supply chain should be effective and fluent; any communication gap can lead to huge losses. A prudent technology, one like RFID helps achieving these operations and helps reduce cost significantly.

RFID is a small electronic device that consist of a small chip and an antenna. The chip typically is capable of carrying 2,000 bytes of data or less. RFID technology has been available for more than fifty years. It has only been recently that the ability to manufacture the RFID devices has fallen to the point where they can be used as a "throwaway" inventory or control device.

RFID innovation developed a while back however wasn 't utilized that regularly because of absence of standardization and its high costs. RFID is a standout amongst all the most recent advances and has most encouraging progressions for the future years and in different commercial enterprises. We assemble a lot of practical information and verifications to support the new suggested techniques. Health care industry i is exceedingly esteemed all through the world; applying the forefront innovation in health awareness industry to enhance understanding human services has been the regular objective sought after by the hospitals everywhere throughout the world. The introduction of RFID as medical application is likewise being excitedly

Academic researchers have recognised a gap exists between the actual and potential values of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in supply chain industry. This paper provides understanding into the tactical value of RFID by building a concept on how RFID used in supply chain management may create and withstand a competitive advantage. This reading uses a simulation model to determine the anticipated benefits of an integrated RFID system on a three-echelon supply chain attained through performance increases in efficiency, accuracy, visibility, and security level. The study examines how the product value, lead time, and demand uncertainty affect the performance of the integrated RFID supply chain in terms of cost

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a framework that uses radio recurrence to transmit identification wirelessly. Its functionality is much more powerful than bar code system, with which a contacting reader must be used to read the standardized tag. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States announced in 2004 to embrace RFID innovation for the identification of fake

Supply chain management a major sector in almost all the product and service based organizations mean that managing the flow of goods, cash and information internally or externally and within an organization or group of organizations that follow same value chain. There are many existing technologies and also emerging technologies in the field of supply chain management. The gist of the paper is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags an emerging technology in supply chain management and how it can be implemented or developed more effectively so that there can be an increase in the efficiency of supply chain management system. These

Radio-Frequency Identification or RFID, is a process and physical infrastructure by which a unique identity, within a predefined protocol definition, is transferred from a device

RFID technology emerged a while back but wasn’t used that often due to lack of standardization and its high prices. RFID is a standout amongst all the latest technologies and has most promising advancements for the future years. and in various industries. We gather plenty of practical information and proofs to support the new suggested techniques. Health care industry is highly valued throughout the world; applying the cutting edge technology in health care industry to improve patient health care has been the common goal pursued by the hospitals all over the world. The introduction of RFID as medical application is also being enthusiastically studied now. This Study finds the medical application of RFID application for the

To deal with problems posed by supply chain issues, exceptional technologies are needed. One such technology is RFID which is an acronym of Radio Frequency Identification. RFID technology is a means of gathering data about a certain item and doesn’t need to see or touch the data reader. It uses the inductive coupling or electromagnetic waves. This technology has unlimited possibilities for connected devices around us right from goods, animals, gates, containers, machines even human are tagged through RFID’s. (ILIE-ZUDOR, 2006)
