How does it work? Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has a long-standing history despite its more recent application in society and infrastructure. The understanding of electromagnetic energy in the early 1800s followed by the discovery that light and radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy by Michael Faraday in 1846 began the process to RFID technology. The advances led to German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz being the first to transmit and receive radio waves in 1887. (Landt

Purpose of Study: Seeks to examine the use of radio frequency identification technology in commercial applications and to discuss whether regulation is needed to balance commercial economic interests versus consumer privacy and libertarian concerns. Sampling Comments: “A silent revolution is occurring in retail surveillance technology unbeknownst to most consumers. Radio frequency (RFID) technology provides enormous economic benefits for both business and consumers, while
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is used to electronically identify, track, and store information on a tag. Its main components are a tag, reader, and a database. It is used by all levels of government in various well-known areas, such as logistics support for the military and highway tolls. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the use of this technology by the United States Federal government and some of its major agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department

5.1- ABSTRACT Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is a data acquisition tool that is currently having a major impact in pharmaceuticals such as Chinese pharmaceuticals industry generally and Pfizer company particularly and many others. RFID classified as a big revolutionize on business processes world, including supply chain management across the industries. Because of to its high capacity and to provide automated information in record time. The purpose of this study is to discuss
SUPPLY CHAIN TECHNOLOGY, RFID (RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION) “Soon we will be able to know not only every item’s location, but also its temperature, motion, vibration, humidity and a host of other variables, opening up a world of opportunities for all”. (Shoemaker, 2014) What customer really wants nowadays is not state of the art technology but they want a solution that can make their life better at the same time making sure it is cost effective, saving time and solved their previous problem.
Radio Frequency Identification Technology and Information Sharing Platform Enhancing Storage Efficiency in Modern Logistics Warehouse Management Modern logistics is more intelligent and integrative than traditional logistics, there are various techniques in the field of logistics such as RFID Technology (Radio Frequency Identification), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and RF WMS (Radio Frequency Warehouse Management System). These techniques put forward 20 years ago, but it seems to be unrealistic
This report will discuss what technology and innovation is and how important it is for firms to manage their technology to expand their growth potential. In addition to this, I am the current technology analyst at the Hunzal Logistics and Supply chain Management Company. The current technology we use to handle our logistics and flow of goods in our supply chain is the traditional barcode reader technology. This technology has been used for over 15 years now in Hunzal. The current CEO of Hunzal has
passage of time and extreme advancement in the technology the field of automatic identification has come up with great potential. There are different methods to do this. The most commonly used methods are Universal Product Code UPC and Optical Character Recognition OCR. OCR has limited the use of UPC but Optical Character Recognition has also different deficiencies which ultimately lead towards another technique called as Radio Frequency Identification also termed as RFID. RFID is the most modern technique
RFID or radio frequency identification is the name given to the "technology that uses radio waves to transmit data and uniquely identify an animal, person, or thing" ("radio-frequency identification," 2013). An RFID system includes a transponder including an antenna and a chip that can easily store a significant amount of data such as location details, manufacturer details and product numbers if any. There are three basic types of the RFID readers. Fixed readers with an external antenna which are
