1. Radio-Frequency Identification

2.  Brief History
 Introduction
 Case Study
 Benefits
 Weaknesses
 Future of RFID

3.  1906: Ernst F.W. Alexanderson showed the
first radio wave usage.
 WorldWar II: RFID device was promoted by
the army
 1980: developed and useful in tracking,
accessing systems (Karmakar 2011).

4.  (Lehpamer 2012)

6.  Efficency: reduce labor cost by automating process.
 Accuracy: more consistence appear between the
actual and system inventory
 Visibility: : RFID technology can afford real-time data
during processesraise the product availability
 Security: : no longer face problem in fraud-
related(data loss, cheating employees and crime)

7.  Costly implementation
 Privacy: RFID tag is not able to differentiate
between readers
 Security:Tags just know to listen and
respond.

8.  RFID-base indoor location research fields are
considered.
 The application of active RFID technology in
the real-time location systems (RTLS) with
vehicles navigation and positioning.
 RFID is believed a future of retail.

9.  RFID is an advanced technology useful in
Supply chain management, warehousing….
 Its is efficiency, accuracy, visibility but high
cost implementation and exist privacy issues.
 It is future of retail and real-time location
systems (RTLS)
