Industry 4.0 systems use various sensor technologies many that
include the integration of RFID. The intent of this book is to
provide a sufficient discussion of RFID to enable readers with no
prior knowledge to develop a basic understanding of the technology.
RFID for the Supply Chain and Operations Professional discusses
current applications and specific examples of RFID usage taken from
a variety of industries. The appropriate coupling of RFID with
other technologies such as global positioning systems (GPS),
enterprise resource planning (ERP), IIoT technologies and robotics
is discussed as well as an overview of the RFID implementation
process. This book will help readers develop an understanding of
the capability of the technology to increase an organization's
customer responsiveness. In the third edition, the discussion and
examples have been updated to reflect the rapid advancement in RFID
technology. A new case study and new examples have been added along
with updated discussions and projections about RFID technology.
The quality and effectiveness of decisions made within an
organization and its supply chain depend upon the accuracy and
timeliness of the information upon which they are based. Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that can provide
more accurate information in near real time and thus increase the
quality and timeliness of decisions based on that information. RFID
systems are currently in use in areas such as inventory management,
process control, asset tracking and monitoring, and retail point of
sale. Organizations which appropriately incorporate RFID into their
operations and information management systems have increased their
agility, effectiveness, and efficiency resulting in organizational
growth and increased profitability. The appropriate utilization of
RFID allows organizations to become more agile resulting in their
ability to respond to customers more efficiently and effectively.
Technology by itself does not result in improvements and RFID is no
exception. RFID is not a solution for every problem. However, when
coupled with other appropriate technologies to address an
appropriate objective, RFID can offer a variety of benefits to
businesses. The proper integration into the firm's competitive
plans and processes, and the ability to leverage those technologies
for competitive advantage results in increased performance for
organizations. The intent of this book is to provide a sufficient
discussion of RFID to enable readers with no prior knowledge to
develop a basic understanding of the technology. The book discusses
current applications and specific examples of RFID usage taken from
a variety of industries. The appropriate coupling of RFID with
other technologies such as GPS, ERP, and robotics is discussed as
