RFID TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: STATE OF THE ART AND PERSPECTIVES

This paper provides a state of the art on RFID technology in Supply chain management. It presents technical characteristics of existing RFID systems, a guideline for RFID deployment, and some applications in Supply chains. The paper summarizes the advantages of RFID technology for inventory control and introduces some challenging problems and perspectives dealing with, in particular, privacy and authentication. In addition, there is a carefully selected recent bibliography in this domain.
