“…A part of these case studies focuses on the application of RFID in tracking and tracing (Ni et al 2004, Goodrum et al 2006, Chen et al 2007, Ngai et al 2007a, 2007b, Fisher and Monahan 2008and Martı´nez-Sala et al 2009). To research the impact of RFID on the service industry, Ngai et al (2008b) design an RFID-based management system to improve a sushi restaurant's quality of service.…”

This paper proposes a digital warehouse management system (DWMS) in the tobacco industry based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The DWMS helps warehouse managers to achieve better inventory control, as well as to improve the operation efficiency. In this system, a set of basic events and storage/retrieval rules are defined as event-condition-action (ECA) rules to improve the feasibility and flexibility of DWMS. By using RFID technology, the DWMS enables a plane warehouse to achieve visualised inventory management, automatic storage/retrieval assignment and high accuracy of inventory control as an automatic warehouse. A case in the tobacco industry is studied to illustrate the feasibility and rationality of the proposed system. Based on the ECA rules, a storage/retrieval methodology is proposed to improve the storage/ retrieval operations. The results of this case study illustrate that RFID-DWMS can help a plane warehouse to improve operation efficiency, enhance the utilisation of warehouse capacity, increase inventory accuracy and reduce manpower and loading time significantly.

“…A proposal for a system that supports addressing specific tags directly from the internet is presented in [20] as part of an object-tracking solution. This proposal introduces a gateway device that is responsible for the translation of IP to rfid network traffic including specifications for the encoding of IPv6 packets into rfid transmissions to the tags.…”

rfid has already found its way into a variety of large scale applications and arguably it is already one of the most successful technologies in the history of computing. Beyond doubt, rfid is an effective automatic identification technology for a variety of objects including natural, manufactured and handmade artifacts; humans and other species; locations; and increasingly media content and mobile services. In this survey we consider developments towards establishing rfid as the cost-effective technical solution for the development of open, shared, universal pervasive computing infrastructures and look ahead to its future. In particular, we discuss the ingredients of current large scale applications; the role of network services to provide complete systems; privacy and security implications; and how rfid is helping prototype emerging pervasive computing applications. We conclude by identifying common trends in the new applications of rfid and ask questions related to sustainable universal deployment of this technology.

Positioning accuracy is an essential factor for many location-aware applications. This study designs an RFID-based positioning system for telematics location-aware applications. If a passenger in a vehicle loses a wallet with an RFID tag attached, then an RFID reader can be adopted to detect the tag, and thus find the wallet. Performance analysis results indicate that the proposed RFID-based positioning system has a distance error of less than 1.64 m, and an accuracy rate at least 13.24% higher than the common LANDMARC approach. These results indicate that the RFID operations in telematics positioning applications have high-accuracy location-awareness.
