Objective: Efficiently, tracking information related to components, materials and equipment from the production/construction phase to operations and maintenance is a challenge in the industries. Methodology: Advanced electronic identification and data storage technologies e.g. radio frequency identification (RFID), are used to identify equipment automatically and to integrate related information with equipment in various industries. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the state-of-the-art RFID technology in asset and maintenance management. Results: In this research, author has looked into different studies and identified some clear advantages of RFID. Maintenance managers can use RFID solutions in order to accurately track movable assets, reducing manual processes through automated scanning and data entry lead to improve productivity, eliminating the costly errors associated with manual inventory, including missed or mis-categorized assets. Conclusion: This technology can potentially reduce the time for handling data in process of maintenance management. Timely and relevant information enables informed decision-making and offers improvement for productivity, safety and security.
Today's, intelligent agent system (IAS) are considered as an important part of people's lives. Therefore, many of organizations try to implement IAS in their mechanism. One of these organizations in Iran is telecommunication Infrastructure Company. Because any implementation need a model which clarify the structural and contextual components, therefore, the current research is conducted to provide a model for developing the necessary infrastructure for implementation of intelligent technologies in the communication and telecommunication mechanisms of Ilam Province. To achieve the goal, a qualitative approach and thematic analysis method were used. The research population consisted of all experts in the field of ICT in Ilam province Infrastructure Communications Company that using purposeful sampling method and relying on theoretical data saturation, 10 of them were selected as sample. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed through theme analysis. Based on the method, 4 themes, 10 main categories and 153 open codes were extracted. The findings of the study showed that to transform communication mechanisms into intelligent technologies, there must be technological, management, marketing and cultural infrastructure. Technological infrastructure consisted of intelligent software and hardware; management infrastructure consisted of knowledge and belief; marketing infrastructure included attracting intelligent technology to audiences, encouraging ideas, physical and virtual channels; and finally, cultural infrastructure, it was staff training and public awareness.
