“…Moreover, the RFID tags were able to function after being stored outdoors and exposed to the elements over five nights. These results provide strong support to previous studies on RFID technology [11,12] and highlight the fact that RFID technology is mostly product driven, and therefore, the best performance of the system heavily depends on the type of product, the context of implementation, the level of tagging, etc.…”

“…Most early studies on the feasibility of RFID technology have mostly been conducted using this approach or pilots projects (e.g. [11][12][13]). A proof of concept is used to illustrate whether a proposed system or application is likely to operate or function as expected [14].…”

“…Furthermore, manual adjustments declined in the test stores" (p. 55). Finally, the outcome of a study by [11], who used a PoC in a laboratory setting, was that process optimization can be achieved when the RFID technology is integrated in intra-and interorganizational information systems applications. All these studies have been largely conducted in large firms, but very few of them are concerned with RFID adoption within small-to-medium firms.…”

This study examines the impact of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology on the inventory control practices of a small-to-medium retailer using a proof of concept (PoC) approach. The exploratory study was conducted using a single case study of a hardware retailer stocking 5000 product lines provided by 110 active suppliers. To analyze the present mode of operation, procedural documents, semi-structured interviews and a participant observation was conducted. The basis for the proof of concept was a future mode of operation using a quasi-experimental design. Results indicate that in a small-to-medium retail environment, RFID technology could act as a loss prevention mechanism, an enabler for locating misplaced stock, and make a significant contribution to the overall improvement of the delivery process.

“…This is a lengthy and error prone process; as a result it's done less frequently and hence often is not up-todate. The capabilities of the barcode technology are limited in term of functionalities that businesses require (Bendavid et al, 2006). RFID technology offers a solution to the above mentioned problem.…”

In recent years the acceptance of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in business environments has been increasing rapidly due to its competitive business value. Adopting a suitable RFIDbased information system has become increasingly important for supermarkets. However, most supermarkets still use conventional barcode-based systems to manage their information processes, which are consistently reported as one of the most unenthusiastic aspects of supermarket shopping for both customers and management. We propose an RFID agent-based architecture that adopts intelligent agent technology with an RFID based applications. RFID provides capability to uniquely identify an object within a supermarket area, while agents are able to establish a channel of communication which can be used to facilitate communications between a RFID device and supermarket back-end system. The proposed framework includes a design of intelligent mobile shopping cart equipped with both RFID and agent technologies. As a result of using the proposed RFID agent based architecture, the customer shopping experience will be improved due to ease of retrieving of the detailed information on items and quick checkout by scanning all items at once, thus eliminating queues. From supermarket management point of view the proposed architecture will reduce the cost of operation e.g., decreasing cost of goods sold which comes in the form of labor efficiency in areas of checkout operation, inventory management and alerting the supermarket management when a certain product is running out of stock and needs to be restocked.

“…It is generally accepted that UHF RFID systems can revolutionize various commercial applications such as supply chain management [2,3]. Several major supply chain companies such as Wal-Mart and Tesco plan to mandate the use of UHF RFID system in their supply chains, which operates in the 860-960 MHz band [4].…”

Abstract-In this paper, RFID reader-to-reader interference is analyzed from the point of view of interrogation range. To evaluate RFID interference quantitatively, the new figure-of-merit, interrogation range reduction ratio (IRRR), is defined. In order to show the usefulness of IRRR, its value is calculated in various environments. Additionally, the calculated IRRR values are verified by measurements using two RFID readers and an RFID tag. IRRR can be referred to an important design parameter to analyze more complex interfering problems in instances of actual RFID system deployment.
