On The Creation of Automatic Identification and Data Capture Infrastructure via RFID

Automatic identification data capture technologies are becoming increasingly important in the management of supply chain, manufacturing flow management, mobile asset tracking, inventory management, warehousing, and any application where physical items move through location in time. Tracking these items has historically been done by the use of bar-code technologies, which suffer from lack of efficiency, robustness, difficulty in automation, inability to have secure or dynamic data, etc., whereas the electronic technology of Radio Frequency Identification or RFID has the ability to overcome several of these limitations over barcode. This paper presents a comparative basis for the creation of Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) infrastructure via RFID versus other technologies such as bar-code and sensor technologies.
