In this current phenomena, information technology has arrived to a pick point where everything depends on it as well as the business sector. It is quite impossible to run a business without the use of information system. RFID is one of the booming technology of this era which helps the business sectors in monitoring and securing inventory, serving customers fast and easily. RFID systems use tiny tags with embedded microchips containing data about an item and its location to transmit radio signals over to a short distance to RFID reader (Laudon 2017-2018). Library is one of the biggest areas where information system can be used extremely. North South University Library is one of the best library in Bangladesh.

RFID was first invented by Charlie Walton. He is the inventor of RFID. It was developed in 1930.This technology first applied in World War II for identify the aero planes.
In the 1970s Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Northwestern University, was applying RFID technology to track nuclear materials.
From 2005 RFID was widely used all industrial sectors. According to industry officials, RFID technology is being used more and more as a way to track containers and verify service. Now RFID is uses in waste and recycling industry tracking repair of waste container. Waste and recycling company getting benefits to using RFID. It also use in asset tracking management.
RFID was also used in animal. Another application field of RFID was the tracking of livestock. Originally the technology was used to monitor cows that were on medication. It is animal identification system. It is used to find animal. Lost animal quickly back to owner by RFID. Animal was monitored by RFID. RFID chips are inserted inside animal body. First RFID was use in animal in New Zealand. It was applied on dogs in 2006.
RFID is being used in supply chain. It is used in movement of product. In 1999 Prof. David Brock and Prof. Sanjay Sarma had been doing some research for decreasing cost on RFID tags on all products that are made to track them through the
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.
However, it is important to mention about an active RFID technology in order to understand why it is not suitable for the case of the production in-house logistics. Active system provides constant visibility of inventory, they are placed in the zones wherever inventory needs to
RFID is a large industry, with applications in identification, payment, access control, and more. In 2014 the world market for RFID was estimated to be US$8.89 billion, in 2026, it is predicted to reach US$18.68 billion (Das, 2017). However, as more uses become apparent and the technology continues to develop it is possible that the industry will grow at an even greater rate than projected. RFID has become more prevalent in modern society due to RFID tags becoming more economically viable; in 2003, a passive tag was estimated to cost $1, while in 2013, it was only $0.10, thus more widespread implementation of RFID is possible, as it becomes less expensive. (Thau, 2017).
While the Radio Frequency Identification Device has been in existence for almost 50 years, the use of this chip in human beings is an advancement of the technology. The chip has mainly been used for tracking animals and goods throughout is existence. Generally, the RFID chip consists of two main parts i.e. an antenna and integrated circuit chip. It's been used as an effective detection mechanism since the antenna can recognize the chip regardless of whether it's within its line of sight (Alam, 2011).
RFID is an abbreviation of Radio Frequency Identification and it is one of the top 10 supply chain technology trends (Intermec Technologies Corporation, 2007). History of this technology or where it first evolves is still vague, but there are consensus among expert stated that it first used and developed to identify the enemy aircraft during the World War 2 which known as (IFF) Identification: Friend or Foe System (Ward & Kranenburg, 2006).
RFID (radio frequency identification) uses radio waves to transmit information between RFID tags (chips) and RFID readers (What is RFID?, n.d.). There are two basic types of RFID tags. Active tags are larger and more expensive because they require an independent power supply to function, passive tags are cheaper, smaller and do not need a separate power supply (The Different Types of RFID Systems, n.d.). Initially, we will be implementing the use of passive RFID tags, which will help control the costs of this project. Once the RFID project is functioning according to our expectations, we will expand our RFID system to include the use of active RFID tags. The implementation of RFID technology will require a significant financial investment for a system-wide implementation. Depending upon the extent of our investment in RFID technology, we could enhance our control of access to certain areas, improve inventory management, and monitor our patients ' movements throughout our RFID-equipped facilities (Niles, 2015, p. 384)
RFID has been around longer than the average American realizes. In World War II we start to see this new technology emerge in the form of a radar. A handful of nations used the radar to detect approaching planes from miles out. While this was handy, the problem with the radar
Another significance of this study is to prove the transmission range of RFID when integrated into other devices and how useful the technology is. This study will also lead to future innovation that will use RFID technology in it most feasible aspects to aid people’s needs.
In current era we have seen many implementations and changes which are globally used for logistics and implemented in several ways. In that RFID is one of the top implementing technologies in logistics. These are mainly used in the supply chain management and tracking persistence and different industries. In logistics management is to confirm the accessibility of resource at minimum cost for production. Make sure they deliver on time the products of low cost to the customer. Logistics is the process of strategically managing finding and storage of materials, part and complete inventory through organizational it’s selling channels in such a way that current futures profits are take advantage of through cost effective fulfillment order. We
RFID technology is not only used at gas stations, restaurants, and department but also at
Just as all other technologies have such difficulties, RFID technology has obstacles to overcome. Two main concerns are discussed in this paper: radio wave technology hindrances such as collisions, and the ethical concerns that entangle this controversial yet extremely helpful technology.
There is no doubt about the benefits and the advantages of using the RFID systems for in store processes but the managers and the employees do have some concerns about the RFID as is placed below along with the benefits of the Ins Store applications of the RFID technology.
RFID has been employed in various industries to keep tracking of their products. For example they can be installed in an automobile industry to keep track on the production throughout assembly. Similarly, RFID tags are now being used in the pharmaceuticals industry to keep track of medicinal items in warehouses and throughout the supply chain. The supply chain can often be complex in nature, with several data points as it relates to item movement from the original manufacturer to its final destination, the customer.
Airbus has communicated to its suppliers to tag all traceable items with passive RFID transporters (Roberti, 2015). Boeing is also using this technology to optimize maintenance activities with specific information regarding maintenance history, parts pedigree, etc. (Lu et al., 2006). It means that the most of the parts supplied by these two aircraft manufacturers are already tagged with RFID technology. American airlines can use their business partners experience with RFID technology to improve their warehousing efficiency. Before initiating the RFID project American airlines should discuss and document the different aspects of project including software, hardware, RFID tags, environmental factors, regulatory concerns, reliability, security issues, network, throughput and maintenance.
RFID systems contribute largely to the wireless revolution that is taking place. RFID or radio frequency identification systems administer powerful technology to transmit data in order to aid in tracking the movement of goods and inventory through a company’s supply chain. RFID systems consist of three main parts which include tags, readers, and a computer system. Ultimately, the tags transmit data to a reader in which captures this data and sends it to a host computer for further processing by an employee of a company, however RFID systems have much more depth to them than just this.
