CONTROLLING IN-PLANT LOGISTICS BY DEPLOYING RFID SYSTEM IN THE ITEM-LEVEL MANUFACTURING: A CASE STUDY

RFID systems are being used in the industries to follow the manufacturing environment by tagging objects where keeping track has a value. The recent research about RFID systems mainly focused on monitoring assets to control shop floor operations in real time. This case study has focused on deployment and improvement of an RFID system with a purpose of choose optimum system installation. The investigation of the production area, collecting item flow data and developing the relational database. The data that has been attained from the system can be used to control internal plant logistics and provide support in order to improve shop floor operations. This kind of RFID system used in industry can be very useful in order to increase the speed of production and regulate the work flow.
