The development of information technology has rapidly changed the logistics industry. RFID has become more and more important in the context of supply chain management (SCM), and implementation of RFID in SCM brings with it the potential to manage the information flow and to support communication and collaboration along the supply chain. This study was conducted to build a relation model, which is a structural model, to identify the effects of introducing RFID into the supply chain of the food and beverage industry in Korea. The supply chain of the food and beverage industry was divided into five activities: procurement, production, transport, sale, warehousing, and administration. This study was based on the premise that RFID will be embedded in a transport box or pallet circulated in the SC. The model showed that SC activities have positive relationships through the RFID system, and the introduction of RFID promotes information interchanges between SC activities, which in turn enable the coordination and consolidation of a total SCM. From the results of this study, it is expected that the RFID system does not only enable the SC partners to improve their utilities but also promotes the efficiency of SCM as a whole. This is meaningful considering that there is still a controversy regarding the effects of RFID on SCM.

“…This system allowed components from a virtual construction set to be picked and placed into the future manufacturing hall using a paddle. Although a comparative study to conventional layout planning systems was not conducted, in test trials the AR‐based system was found to be more user‐friendly and “intuitive.” Additional studies using AR technology in layout planning can be found in Dangelmaier et al (2005); Doil et al (2003); and Najjar, Thompson and Ockerman (1997). A detailed literature survey on AVS in manufacturing is provided by Ong, Yuan, and Nee (2008).…”

Within the Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Production Technology for High‐Wage Countries,” a research project has been initiated to study self‐optimizing assembly cells and to design innovative ergonomic human–machine interfaces of the cell's numerical control. An experimental assembly cell was designed in which two robots carry out a certain repertoire of coordinated pick‐and‐place operations with small workpieces. To support the human operator while monitoring the operations and intervening in the case of assembly errors, an Augmented Vision System (AVS) has been designed and developed. The study described in this article deals with the ergonomic presentation of assembly information by the AVS to support the human operator in detecting assembly errors in small workpieces. Two laboratory experiments were carried out to compare two visual display types and to investigate different variations of presenting assembly information. Forty‐eight subjects participated in the experiments. The statistical analysis shows that the use of a head‐mounted display instead of a common table‐mounted display for the AVS increases the accuracy of assembly error detection significantly (α = 0.05). In contrast, a trend toward a longer detection time was found. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…In addition, as pervasive IS constitute a general class of systems and can support both personal and business activities, in the same, study Kourouthanassis and Giaglis (2007a) provided a taxonomy of pervasive IS and their features by identifying four pertinent application types: personal, domestic, corporate, and public: Personal pervasive IS rely on wearable hardware elements to provide a fully functional computing experience wherever the user might be. Typical examples include biomedical monitoring systems (Jafari et al 2005), human detection systems (Smith et al 2005), and remote plant operation systems (Najjar et al 1997). Domestic pervasive IS primarily automate tasks that otherwise require human supervision in the household (e.g.…”

Pervasive Information Systems constitute an emerging class in the information systems realm motivated by the pervasive (or ubiquitous) computing paradigm. Pervasive computing promises a technological shift away from the desktop computing paradigm towards more ubiquitous forms of computation presence and use. According to Weiser, who envisioned this computing evolution back in 1991, people and environments will be augmented with computational resources that will provide information and services when and where desired in the most acceptable, easy and pleasant way, like a walk in the woods. Today, we observe that this vision gradually becomes a reality through a multitude of pervasive applications taking their position in various real life settings. Nevertheless, the urgency to rush an individual's world with the latest and greatest pervasive technology must be tempered with an understanding of whether the technology serves appropriately his needs. In other words, this technological shift raises issues considering the acceptance of pervasive information systems and hence their success.
