“…The advantages of RFID in asset tracking and supply chain management [2] are already widely recognized, but there are still unresolved issues related to the design of RFID tags for the identification of objects containing or consisting of materials with adverse effect on the operation of antennas. A pronounced example of such materials are metals.…”

Abstract-The development of a compact metal mountable RadioFrequency IDentification (RFID) tag antenna on a ceramic substrate based on Barium Titanate is presented. The performance limitations and design trade-offs of metal mountable RFID tag antennas are reviewed and the favorable features of a high-permittivity antenna substrate for the development of antennas for metal mountable RFID tags are discussed. The simulation-based tag antenna design process is outlined and the measured read range of the developed metal mountable tag on conductive platforms of various sizes is presented.

“…In business that handles transactions revolving around consumer goods, it is important to ensure quality control with a proper control system, a large retail store sometimes may run out of stock of important item. A good inventory control system will alert the retailer when it is time to re-order [5,6]. Most supermarkets in Nigeria still operate with barcode technology, but with the numerous advantages of RFID technologies clearly explained in section 2.1, there is need for supermarkets in Nigeria to embrace RFID technologies.…”

Having to spend 20 to 30 minutes on a queue, waiting for bought items to be scanned is a common problem that brings concern in this current shopping day in developing countries of Africa. This does not only cause wastage of time for the customers but also, it"s a sure sign which shows the incompetence of the performance of current barcodes checkout technology. To resolve this problem, a new technology is introduced which can improve the inventory system process. This technology has great potential for the automation of inventory control system which uses the 13.56 MHz operating frequency RFID technology. This paper describes and implements a RFID based inventory control system for supermarkets in Nigeria. General TermsRFID Technologies, RFID Based Inventory Control System.

“…The research world in ITS, electronics and food technologies has worked on the integration of technologies to improve freight tracking and monitoring during the past years. The interest in Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) for detecting the presence of tagged goods is evident in current research literature these days (Michael and McCathie, 2005). In Tesoriero et al (2009), an indoor tracking system is presented which reports a direct application of RFID on warehouses.…”
