Content: In this paper we analyze whether recent Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology can be used to improve the localization of mobile robots and persons in their environment. In particular we study the problem of localizing RFID tags with a mobile platform that is equipped with a pair of RFID antennas. We present a probabilistic measurement model for RFID readers that allow us to accurately localize RFID tags in the environment. We also demonstrate how such maps can be used …

Content: RFID tags are held to become ubiquitous in logistics in the near future, and item-level tagging will pave the way for Ubiquitous Computing, for example in application fields like smart homes. Our paper addresses the value and the production cost of information that can be gathered by observing these tags over time and different locations. We argue that RFID technology will induce a thriving market for such information, resulting in easy data access for analysts to infer business …

Content: While Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was first conceived in 1948, it has taken many years for the technology to mature to the point where it is sufficiently affordable and reliable for widespread use. From Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) for article (mainly clothing) security to more sophisticated uses, RFID is seen by some as the inevitable replacement for bar-codes. With increasing use comes increasing concern on privacy and security. Clearly there is considerable …

Content: Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)–Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2004. ; "June 2004." ; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 112-115). ; This paper assesses the value of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the transportation forecasting, planning, and execution processes for truckload (TL) and less than truckload (LTL) services. The results show that the value of RFID in transportation highly varies according to the sub-process and …

Content: Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)–Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2004. ; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 46-47). ; This thesis investigates financial results from RFID integration at product level in semiconductor manufacturing. The thesis explores how the technology might act in concert with other significant logistics tools to create return on investment. In this case, the use of RFID, along with postponement and Kanban practices, …
