“…Normally, they provide the identification of products, assets, documents or people and thus tracking and tracing. Because of their identification functions, they are widely adopted to facilitate the operation of information system in different areas such as inventory management of manufacturing, receiving management of warehousing, distribution management of transportation and so forth (Ilie-Zudor et al, 2010). Normally, they store product information like product name, lot number, manufacture day and so on, all of which are recorded via the supply chain until they are consumed.…”

Counterfeiting undoubtedly produces great harm to companies and the society. This paper presents a study on the application of Social Network Analysis (SNA) to combating this problem. The supply chain can be viewed as a network of parties involved in delivering value to consumers. Normally, SNA is used to analyze relationships between people. In this study, it is utilized to analyze supply chains for identification of parties that are likely to be involved in counterfeiting activities. After identifying the suspects in a supply chain, the company can deter and detect counterfeiting by tightening surveillance on these parties. The feasibility of using SNA as an anti-counterfeiting tool is investigated in a case study, the findings of which indicate that SNA can effectively help companies to prevent sources of counterfeit products from infiltrating into the supply chain. Problematic parties can be identified by characterizing the following features: high degree of centrality, high closeness of centrality and high betweenness of centrality.Keywords: Anti-counterfeiting, RFID, Social Network Analysis, Supply Chain Management This is the Pre-Published Version.

“…By enabling accurate and timely information about a specific item to be stored, retrieved and communicated, this information can be used to assist in automated decision-making and control functions relevant to that item. Identification technology has been developing very fast, seeing significant drops in the price of tags, equipment and infrastructure [26]. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a type of Auto ID technology where radio frequency communications is used to identify and track objects attached with RFID tags [27].…”

The fit of Industry 4.0 applications in manufacturing logistics: a multiple case study

et al. 2017

The fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, is expected to cause disruptive changes in industrial production. It is driven by rapid technological developments and the need for manufacturing companies to make oneself independent of high labor costs. Industry 4.0 concerns several aspects of industrial production, including manufacturing logistics, business models and products and services. The applications of Industry 4.0 have been vastly outlined. However, the fit of Industry 4.0 applications in different production environments is not clear. The purpose of this paper is to identify and investigate the Industry 4.0 technologies that are applicable to manufacturing logistics, and how the production environment influence the applicability of these technologies. This is done through a multiple case study of four Norwegian manufacturing companies. The findings from the study indicate that the applicability of Industry 4.0 in manufacturing logistics is dependent on the production environment. Companies with a low degree of production repetitiveness see less potential in applying Industry 4.0 technologies in manufacturing logistics, while companies with a highly repetitive production see a higher potential.

“…Although RFID technology has been extensively applied in the fields of logistics, supply chain optimisation, warehousing, retailing, and transportation [10,11], it has only recently been introduced to the field of manufacturing systems. Nevertheless, this emerging field has already received considerable attention from researchers who have recognised the great potential of RFID in providing component-specific data on operational status, and thereby making the production process less centralised and more flexible [12].…”

A modern manufacturing facility typically contains several distributed control systems, such as machining stations, assembly stations, and material handling and storage systems. Integrating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology into these control systems provides a basis for monitoring and configuring their components in real-time. With the right structural modelling, it is then possible to evaluate designs and translate them into new operational applications almost immediately. This paper proposes an architecture for the structural modelling of an intelligent distributed control system for a manufacturing facility, by utilising RFID technology. Emphasis is placed on a requirements analysis of the manufacturing system, the design of RFID-enabled intelligent distributed control systems using Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams, and the use of efficient algorithms and tools for the implementation of these systems. OPSOMMING'n Moderne vervaardigingsaanleg bestaan gewoonlik uit verskeie verspreide beheerstelsels soos masjineringstasies, monteerstasies en materiaalhantering-en stoorstelsels. Deur Radio Frekwensie Identifikasie (RFID) tegnologie met hierdie beheerstelsels te integreer, verskaf 'n basis vir intydse monitor en instel van die beheerstelsels se komponente. Met die regte strukturele modelleringbenadering is dit moontlik om ontwerpe byna onmiddellik te evalueer en verwerk tot nuwe operasionele toepassings. Hierdie navorsing stel 'n argitektuur voor vir die strukturele modellering van 'n intelligente verspreide beheerstelsel vir 'n vervaardigingsaanleg deur middel van RFID tegnologie. Die klem word op 'n behoefteanalise van die vervaardigingstelsel, die ontwerp van die RFID intelligente verspreide beheerstelsels deur UML diagramme en die gebruik van effektiewe algoritmes en gereedskap vir die implementering van die stelsels, geplaas.
