“…Barker and Finnie (2010) discuss several innovations in information and communication technology, including RFID, and their potential to radically alter the view of the supply chain in quick response applications. Coleman (2010) discusses the role of RFID and describes a set of guiding principles designed to help supply chain practitioners define inventory and ordering policies collaboratively; an automotive case study illustrates the approach, which requires supplying and buying firms to model their supply chains together.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID) deployment at an airport baggage‐handling system (BHS).Design/methodology/approachThe impact of number of RFID readers at different power levels with varying conveyor (i.e. baggage‐handling conveyors) speeds on timely delivery of baggage is studied via simulation. The layout of the BHS at the Hong Kong International Airport and data pertinent to its RFID deployment in 2005 are used to build the simulation model. The RFID read logic is based on the equations defined as a function of the number of tags and the time the tags spend in the interrogation zone for each reader in order to capture possible read‐rate issues realistically.FindingsThe identification capability of the BHS studied in this paper is a result of its combined ability to identify tags via RFID technology on straight and circulating conveyors, as well as at the manual recovery station for unidentified bags on circulating conveyors. Overall, timely delivery of bags to gates, as a performance metric, increases as the identification capability is improved. The controllable factors that affect the identification capability are the conveyor speed, which determines the time a tag stays in the interrogation zone; the reader antenna power level, which determines the size of the interrogation zone; and the number of reader antennas in the system that increases the likelihood of not missing tags. This paper shows that “the higher the number of reader antennas and the higher the power level on them, the better” approach is not correct.Originality/valueUnlike typical simulation studies related to RFID deployment where read‐rate issues are considered to be non‐existent, this paper captures read rate in a realistic manner in the simulation model by incorporating the effect of number of RFID tags in the interrogation zone and time that RFID tags spend in the interrogation zone due to baggage conveyor speed. Such a simulation approach can be used as a system design tool in order to investigate the impact of RFID‐specific parameters on system‐level performance.

“…The digital visibility provided by RFID can be computationally blinding if such massive data sets are not managed properly, which is an important issue for RFID middleware systems. Barker and Finnie (2010) discuss several innovations in information and communication technology, including RFID, and their potential to radically alter the view of the supply chain in quick response applications. They propose efficient algorithms to process RFID data and convert them into meaningful information for effective decision making.…”

A growing number of organisations are investigating the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as a tool to improve their business processes across the enterprise. When implemented properly, the benefits RFID brings to supply-chain management, logistics, and asset tracking are clearly understood. Yet many companies do not realise the value RFID can supply by providing data input into a company's Six Sigma and Lean applications by facilitating operational visibility. In this paper, a systematic approach that integrates the phases of business process reengineering, RFID data-based decision making, laboratory-level prototyping, and pilot implementation at industry site are discussed.

He has co-authored around 75 archival journal and 150 refereed conference papers, holds 17 US patents and 3 provisional patents, published several book chapters and three books. His research interests include adaptive and neural network control, computer/communication/sensor networks, prognostics, and autonomous systems/robotics.
