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.
This book provides readers who have little or no knowledge of RFID technology, the basic background needed to begin considering how this technology can contribute to the success of their organizations. It also provides examples of how other organizations are using the technology. In the third edition, we have updated the text to reflect advances in RFID technology since the second edition was published. We have also included new examples, illustrations, and a new case study which illustrate the wide variety of applications for the technology.
In Chapter 2, we provide the basic technical details about RFID and how it works. A basic knowledge of the technical aspects of RFID is essential in order to understand its capabilities and how they might be part of the solution to problems you are trying to address. This knowledge also is essential for being able to communicate better with manufacturers, suppliers, systems integrators, consultants, and others who might be essential to enabling your organization to take advantage of the technology.
Later in the book, we bring you up to date on the state of the technology, its current applications, and future possibilities. Chapter 5, which was an entirely new chapter in the second edition entitled “RFID and the Internet of Things,” has been updated. Of course, there are few boundaries on the uses of RFID, so if you do not see a discussion of the application you have in mind, then yours might be the next innovative use of the technology, which means you could create an advantage over others in your industry who have not yet conceived of that application.
We include in the book a selection of six business cases that provide some detail about actual organizations that have developed applications for RFID. The cases provide insight into how a diverse group of organizations went from idea to implemented process and the effect the new process had on organizational performance. We then discuss the process of implementation and what is next for RFID in the coming years.
