RFId systems for moveable asset management: an assessment model

Abstract

Management of moveable assets is a key issue in most industrial manufacturing companies. With the increasing complexity of production systems, characterized by numerous and heterogeneous machining centers, it becomes quite hard to carry out an effective and cost-efficient management model of the tools and fixtures needed for ensuring a correct and timely execution of the planned production cycles. A pre-requisite for a proper management of moveable assets is the adoption of identification systems to support the traceability and data collection of the most relevant pieces of information along the life cycle of an asset. Aim of the paper is to provide an assessment model for evaluating the benefits and costs related to the adoption of RFId tags as identifications systems for moveable assets, and in particular in managing machinery tools in a production premise. In order to present a practical example of applicability of the model, an industrial application is reported with an in-depth analysis of the potential benefits and issues deriving from the implementation of RFId tags.

Network positioning and risk perception in servitization: evidence from the UK road transport industry

“…Moreover, these strategic decisions are closely related to the firms' accumulated knowledge (information asymmetry), valuation difficulty, and fears of opportunism (the disclosure dilemma) when selecting a partnership (Carter, 1989;Contractor and Ra, 2002;Li et al, 2008). Similarly, power derives from locking-up the most favourable sources of raw material, leading to competitive costswitching strategy (Porter, 1980;Dovere et al, 2016;Jitpaiboon et al, 2016). Access to key resources, prior knowledge characteristics and threat of opportunism are thus crucial variables to be considered for successful development of advanced services.…”

Scalability conditions of the measuring points network in a production system using the RFID selective gate technology

“…The state of the art [8][9][10][11][12], [17][18][19], shows that despite of its popularity RFID technology all over the world continues to develop and provides new opportunities for Automatic Data Capture (ADC) in various industries. The aim of using RFID is to share data encoded in tags and reading them in time and place required by adopted solutions of the system [13,14].…”

“…RFID memberikan berbagai kemudahan dalam mengotomatisasi proses bisnis dari sebuah perusahaan dan juga kemudahan dalam mengintegrasikan berbagai alat dengan sistem informasi di dalam sebuah rantai nilai (Chain Value) (Majeed & Rupasinghe, 2017). RFID sendiri sudah cukup banyak diimplementasi, seperti penggunaan RFID untuk melacak pergerakan aset perusahaan seperti yang pernah dilakukan oleh Dovere (Dovere et al, 2017).…”
