RFID Integration for Material Management Considering Engineering Changes in ETO Industry

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a type of auto-identification technique developed in 1950s. However, its wide applications in manufacturing industries does not start until early 2000s. Discussions about applications of RFID in Engineer to Order (ETO) industry have been raised since mid-2000s. Over a decade’s technical development, it is becoming a common view that RFID is an important part of Cyber Physical Systems, Internet of Things, or Industry 4.0. Although researchers have started discussion about RFID applications in ETO industry, it is not well addressed that how RFID can be applied for the material management with respect to engineering changes (ECs), which has strong impacts on an ETO company. This paper reviews RFID applications in ETO industry and gives suggestions on how an RFID system can be integrated in an ETO company? How has RFID been utilized for material management under engineering changes? And what is the general framework of RFID in material management in ETO industry?
