Abstract
The use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking in closed
systems is replacing barcode as dominant tracking system in many industrial
sectors because RFID enables reading multiple objects simultaneously without
visual contact. To enlarge tracking systems to cover global supply chains, all
aspects related to RFID, such as radio frequencies, data content,
transmission protocols and message sets need to be standardised and agreed. By
collecting, processing and distributing information efficiently,
organisations should be able to improve the efficiency of their transport
logistics processes, lower their operational costs and improve their portfolio
of logistics services. This paper describes the current perspectives,
challenges and benefits of RFID tracking applications in manufacturing
industry. The perspectives derived from review of previous research are
validated by using case study method
