The document proposes using RFID technology to automate material handling between a warehouse and assembly line. This would allow the supervisor to track material and operator status in real-time, addressing current problems like lack of real-time data feedback and inability to rapidly respond to production issues. By monitoring RFID tags, the supervisor could know operator locations and tasks, material quantities and locations, and identify issues like low inventory levels to efficiently direct work.

DME EQ Manager - Medical device management
Many health care facilities do not adequately track medical devices and instruments, relying on paper logs or Excel spreadsheets. This leads to devices being misplaced, used improperly, or failing unexpectedly. A new digital device management system provides a solution, capturing comprehensive details on each device such as identification, maintenance needs, repair history, and location to ensure proper use and accountability. By digitizing device management, facilities can improve patient safety, quality of care, and reduce costs.

Production Management.pptx
Production management involves planning, organizing, and controlling activities related to converting raw materials into finished goods. It includes functions like product selection, process planning, facility location, capacity planning, production planning and control, inventory control, quality control, and maintenance. The key aspects of production management are selecting the right production process, maintaining optimal inventory levels, and efficiently planning production activities to meet demand while minimizing costs.
RFID Based Product Identification in a Closed Box
1. The document describes a system that uses RFID tags and readers to identify and count products inside closed boxes on a conveyor belt, without having to open the boxes.
2. RFID tags attached to each product transmit identifying information to antennas near the conveyor belt, which then send the data to a control system. This allows the system to verify the product count matches the master data without direct inspection of the products.
3. If a count mismatch is found after an initial scan, the conveyor performs a "shake operation" to move the products before rescanning. Accepted boxes are sent down the line, while rejected boxes are removed for inspection.

Radio Frequency Identification
http://www.scribd.com/doc/14688569/Radio-Frequency-Identification
The goal of supply chain management is to increase organizational effectiveness through the coordination of activities among suppliers, manufacturers, distribution centers, and customers. Technology evolution in the latest years has significantly contributed towards this direction. The implementation of systems such as ERP, SAP, RFID, etc., makes the production and distribution of the products more accurate and efficient. Through technology implementation, the parties of the supply chain manage to accomplish the production and distribution of the right product, at the right time, to the right location, at the minimum cost while sustaining a certain level of quality (Ramsay, n.d.).
This paper will explain what exactly the RFID system is and how it works. Moreover, the steps a company should follow in order to effectively implement RFID technology will be discussed. The advantages and the disadvantages of this technology will also be presented. Finally, three real life case studies regarding RFID implementation will be analyzed.

Abstract
This research addresses the inefficiency and inconsistency associated with asset tracking and inventory management. This paper focuses on the algorithm and framework of an automated system for large quantities of inventory control, with the features of geographically-widely located facility and heterogeneous assets. Further, the authors investigate two major asset-tracking practices: manual or barcode inventory management system versus automated inventory management system. The authors empirically validate both systems with modeling, simulation, and observation of the system performances. The evidence provides statistically strong support for the improvement of efficiency and accuracy of automated inventory management system, although the impacts of environmental circumstances and human factors suggest that precautions should be taken to minimize the influences of such factors. The proposed automated system is ideal for large quantities of inventory control. Small scale of inventory control depends more on manual inspection or barcode technology. This research provides a possible solution to the growing concerns over asset tracking and protection. In addition, it has the potential to change the facilities management process and policy of the organizations with widely located properties. This empirical study verified the practicability of implementing an automated inventory management system and validated the design by comparing the performances of the manual system and the automated system.

The Smart Assembly Line Of Material Handling
- 1. Smart Assembly Line Of Material Handling Grade: 051011/051010 Report of Industrial Engineering
- 2. Our main objective is to transfer materials from warehouse to assembly line by the help of advanced technology like RFID.
- 3. Problems faced during traditional materials transportation ‣The supervisor can not clearly know the status and workload of the operators; ‣The supervisor just made a plan, but during the materials transportation stage, the real-time data can not be automatically feed back; ‣When production exceptions occurs (e.g. lack of materials, scrap products), the materials system can not rapidly response. ‣The supervisor is not able to instruct and give advice on how to handle hazardous materials that may be harmful for the operators health without proper safety equipment.
- 4. Distribution and control of all processes would be by one single person, which would be the supervisor. User friendly way for supervisor to control and solve problems during the transformation of materials in this way the supervisor would avoid any Irregularity and disturbance of material mismanagement. If a problem arises the supervisor would send an instruction to solve and handle at once to the operators.
- 5. What is RFID? Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data. Its main purposes is to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects.
- 6. ‣ Real-time notification of security when RFID tagged items leave area without scanning. ‣ Real-time notification of out-of –stock items ‣ Improvement of product replenishment ‣ Know how many units of inventory or on-site via automated RFID system versus manual process, saving labor and time cost.
- 7. Reduce production time and employees. Improve material control. Improve efficiency and reduce the cost. Improve the rapid response capability.
- 8. Supervisor Operators The above figure shows the relationship between an operator and manager and how they both are interlinked with the help of the RFID device.

- 15. Problem description; The supervisor cant not know whether the operator has finished or not finished a task and that operator is working or not. Problem Solution; By the help of the RFID device the supervisor gets to know the exact status and workload the operator is facing. By this way the supervisor would know the exact location of the operator and that whether the operator is active or not. Problem And Solution 1.The supervisor can not clearly know the status and workload of the operators;
- 16. Problem description; The supervisor just made a plan, but during the materials transportation stage, the real-time data can not be automatically feed back to the supervisor. Problem Solution; By the use of advanced technology such as RFID the supervisor would have real time feed back of the material transportation stage.
- 17. Problem description; When production exceptions occurs (e.g. lack of materials, scrap products), the materials system can not rapidly respond. Problem Solution; As supervisor would know the exact status of the different materials available at the different locations so he would easily know when the materials need to be replenished Materials Need To be replenished
- 18. Problem description; The supervisor is not able to instruct and give advice on how to handle hazardous materials that may be harmful for the operators health even with proper safety equipment. Problem Solution; By using advanced technology the supervisor would be able to instruct real time on how to handle hazardous materials and this way the operator would be able to execute these processes.
