“…A typical RFID system consists of three components: an antenna, RFID tags, and a RF reader. This technology is widely used in many applications including manufacturing and distribution of products (Cardiel et al, 2012;Lin and Ho, 2009a), Businessto-Business (B2B) logistics, Business-to-Consumer (B2C) marketing and after-sales service (Curtin et al, 2007).…”

Due to globalization, logistics has become an important part in the supply chain. Many logistics service providers have realised the importance of adoption of technologies that can help manufacturers, warehouses, and retailers to communicate with each other more efficiently. Among many logistics technologies, Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been identified as an important technology to improve logistics operations and supply chain management, and thus is increasingly gaining both practitioners' and researchers' attention. The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of usability features of RFID in the adoption of the technology by the logistics sector in the UK. We have used questionnaire survey method to collect data from the UK Logistics firms. The analysis of the data shows that the usability of RFID technology positively influences adoption of technology. We have further tested the moderating effects of firm size, experience with barcode use, and government support in adopting RFID. Our results show that government support strongly moderates the link between usability of RFID and its adoption but size and experience with barcode do not moderate this link. We elaborate the contributions of the study and managerial implications of our results in this paper.

“…Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a common design pattern used in modern enterprise systems to support interactions between distributed components (Al-jaroodi & Mohamed, 2012;Cardiel, Gil, Somolinos, & Somolinos, 2012;Gligor & Turc, 2012). SOA provides a technology agnostic means of exposing system functionality as autonomous services, which may be consumed by distributed components.…”

Integrated, real-time and open approaches relating to the development of industrial analytics capabilities are needed to support smart manufacturing. However, adopting industrial analytics can be challenging due to its multidisciplinary and cross-departmental (e.g. Operation and Information Technology) nature. These challenges stem from the significant effort needed to coordinate and manage teams and technologies in a connected enterprise. To address these challenges, this research presents a formal industrial analytics methodology that may be used to inform the development of industrial analytics capabilities. The methodology classifies operational teams that comprise the industrial analytics ecosystem, and presents a technology agnostic reference architecture to facilitate the industrial analytics lifecycle. Finally, the proposed methodology is demonstrated in a case study, where an industrial analytics platform is used to identify an operational issue in a large-scale Air Handling Unit (AHU).

Nowadays, logistics has become an important part in the supply chain due to the effects of globalization. A warehouse is a large building where goods are stored, and where they may be shipped, catalogued, or received. When considering the level of effort involved in warehouse operations, the greatest expenditure of effort is in the picking process. In warehouse, the major goal is to improve the efficiency, accurancy and safety of warehouse operations. Supply chain managers focus to gain maximum efficiency for minimum cost. Therefore, Warehouse Management Systemd (WMS) first appeared on the market in the 1980s and have been developed to handle warehouse resources and track and monitor warehouse real-time operations. There are many application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) that can be found embedded in items especially in supply chain management. Verification is one of the crucial issues of RFID technology. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of a location using the RFID as an active technology in warehouse management field. In this content, our objective is to combine multi-agent systems and optimization algorithms in order to localize the operator by integrating the indoor positioning system and then optimize operator roote during the picking mission. In this paper, we present an Optimizer Based Agent Communication of Operator Work plan in Warehouse (OBACO2W). Order pickers, using the pick by voice technique, receive and execute the orders sent by the WMS. The purpose of logistics is to establish efficient and satisfy customers requirement. So, we aim to enhance workers productivity by assigning to the order pickers the shortest path for the picking mission. We must first locate the picker adopting the RFID technology. Multi-agent modeling problem can be divided into skills and knowledge to autonomous entities called agents, to provide links and dialogue between these entities by means of communication and interaction. In a multi-agent system, the change of status of certain objects in the environment of change agents can affect their behavior and decisions. Thus, to optimize their choices and to guide their taken decisions, these agents can be equipped with optimization approaches suited to their skills and knowledge. Hence the alliance between the multi-agent systems and optimization methods; these two approaches are perfectly complementary.
