“…In applications where both technologies can be used, the choice of either technology may be made based on cost considerations and/or complementary uses. This view is consistent with similar observations in earlier studies (e.g., Nemeth et al, 2006) that the barcode system will not be replaced anytime soon as it is firmly implanted in all industries and hence both barcodes and RFID systems have to exist in parallel for a long time in future.…”

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.

“…The advantages listed above are generic for any type of RFID systems. Some additional factors such as privacy and security concerns, data mining, and the integration of the RFID with other technologies such as biometric systems, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and wireless communication technologies are needed to be considered for applications [15].…”

“…Indeed, Gartner antici-pates that by 2012 most "enterprises will be forced to redesign their value chain processes as a result of RFID changing the storage, collection, and use of data concerning goods in the supply chain". If predictions are true, then the RFID market will approach $4 billion by 2012 [15]. Selected RFID applications in the public sector in some countries are given below: Health Sector: Austria tests by the municipal administration of Vienna on the applicability of RFID in the health care system.…”

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an emerging technology, radio wave communication between a microchip and an electronic reader, consisting of data gathering, distribution, and management systems that has the ability to identify or scan information for remoting recognition of objects with increased speed and accuracy. An attempt has been made to know how using of RFID technology helps to improve services and business process efficiency in public and private sectors of Bangladesh. With this aim, we have conducted extensive literature survey. At the end of this attempt, we have come to the conclusion that the potential use of this technology includes RFID chipped passports, human implants, item-level tagging, inventory tracking and access control systems. RFID technology is at its early stage of adoption in Bangladesh with a few business applications and pilot studies. However, when tags begin to be associated with individuals, privacy is threatened. RFID is a new type of threat to personal information and must be treated as such; indeed, it must be recognized that existing privacy legislation is not adequate. This paper also explores some current and emerging applications of RFID in Bangladesh and examines the challenges including privacy and ethical issues arising from its use, as well as addressing potential means of handling those issues.

“…Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology dates back to the second world war where it was used as a tool for airforce pilots to distinguish enemy planes from friendly planes. It was then rediscovered by the US military to track equipment in huge containers full of different devices, without having to unpack them, and has since become widespread in the retail industry (Nemeth et al, 2006).…”

Active and passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology are available and licensed for the use in hospitals, and can be used to establish highly reliable pervasive environments within healthcare facilities. They should not be understood as competing technologies and complement each other when intelligently integrated in compact frameworks. This paper describes the state-of-the-art of RFID technology and the current use in the healthcare industry, and points out recent developments and future options.Biographical notes: Christoph Thuemmler is a Consultant Physician with the Scottish NHS who has worked in healthcare systems in Germany, the USA and the UK. He is also a Visiting Reader at the Centre for Distributed Computing within Edinburgh Napier University. Apart from clinical work in general internal medicine, acute and geriatric medicine he has a research interest in patient flow dynamics, real time computing, radio frequency identification and smart system integration.William J Buchanan leads the Centre for Distributed Computing within Edinburgh Napier University. He has extensive research experience in distributed systems, mobile networks, pervasive healthcare, simulation tools, digital forensics and security, and has published over 25 academic books. He has also won several awards for his work with knowledge transfer, and works within several application domains, including healthcare and policing.Amir Hesam Fekri is a research associate with the Centre for Distributed Computing and Security, Napier University. He is currently undertaking an MSc in Advanced Networking. His research interests include RFID systems, wireless networks, security and forensic computing.Alistair Lawson is a Lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University's School of Computing, and a Member of the Centre for Distributed Computing and Security. His research and knowledge transfer interests revolve around applying software engineering, computer intelligence, and distributed computing and security methodologies and technologies to the fields of healthcare, applied data analysis and visualisation, spoken language systems, and e-learning and e-publishing systems.
