A RFID Architecture Built in Production and Manufacturing Fields

The architecture of RFID system substituting for barcode system in the production or manufacturing field is proposed in this paper. Take tobacco production process as an example. Through the reconstruction of the cigarettes sorting and stacking-transport system with RFID technology, higher production velocity and more expeditious cigarettes delivering stack by stack from ware-house have been achieved successfully. The technology may be brought to home appliances manufacturing sector for its high efficiency.
