Supporting real-time supply chain decisions based on RFID data streams

An RFID Data Matrices‐Based Evaluation Method for Process Logistics State

“…An RFID-enabled real-time manufacturing execution system (RT-MES) can visualize and manage real-time dynamics of shop-floor WIP (work-in-progress) items [9]. For RFID data acquisition and processing, the main research directions include middleware, data streams model, data filtering and clearing algorithm, big data, and so on [10][11][12][13][14]. For example, Zhong introduced big data analytics for RFID logistics data by defining different behaviors of smart manufacturing objects [15].…”

“…State Analysis of Process Logistics. (1) According to(11) and(12), N BL(25)=No(W S(25)(:, 1))=10=n, N FP(25)=No(W S(25)(:, 2 )) = 0. Then at t = 25, all the raw materials of the job have been out of stock, and no job has been finished.…”

RFID and Supply Chain Management for Manufacturing Digital Enterprise

“…Various enterprises use RFID to achieve organizational change and manage growth in today's competitive environment (Chao, Yang & Jen, 2007). RFID technology is essential in order to support real-time decisions in supply chain management (Chatziantoniou, Pramatari & Sotiropoulos, 2011). Tajima (2007) argues that, "RFID is expected to produce many benefits in supply chain management"and unlike other authors he provides insights into competitiveness as the value of RFID.…”

“…Although the authors presented several advantages of RFID technologies in supply chains, they also emphasise limitations of previous research and need for more realistic analysis of supply chains. The most applications of RFID in supply chain management currently take advantage of the technology with the objective to accelerate processes and reduce costs, but the real RFID features are found in capturing new types of information in real-time and supporting decisions (Chatziantoniou, Pramatari & Sotiropoulos, 2011). The authors consider the need of using RFID technology to improve tactical real-time decisions in supply chain management.…”

R/M Integrated Supply Chain Based on IoT

“…Lee and Chan proposed a genetic algorithm to determine the collection point locations in order to maximize the coverage of customers, and the use of RFID is suggested to count the quantities of collected items in collection points and send the signal to the central return center [7]. Being able to efficiently perform complex real-time analysis on top of RFID event streams, Chatziantoniou et al provided management with a novel data analysis mechanism to allow better, tactical, on time, well-informed supply chain decisions [8]. Saygin experimentally verified the effectiveness of RFID in inventory control in a retailer site using simulation [9].…”
