Creative Application Framework of RFID Technology in Environment Friendly Industry

A growing number of organizations around the world are considering the implementation of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems to improve their business and operations processes in project management of the environment friendly industry. Environment friendly industry attempts to effectively obtain real-time information and enhance dynamic control and management via information sharing and analysis from involved participants to effective production and reduce conflicts. RFID technology is used in a great number of possible applications, like product tracking, animal identification, inventory systems and others. The paper (born from the authors’ experience on the field) introduces a new methodological framework in order to face the feasibility study for the application of the RFID technology, illustrating two cases in the environment friendly industry that today have exceeded the experimentation phase.
