Abstract

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been identified as one of the emerging technologies in supply chain management. With the integration of RFID with internet of things (IoT), called RFID-IoT has bring the advancement of support chain management (SCM) to the automated sensing, pervasive computing and ubiquitous data access by manufacturer, distributor, retailer and even consumer. This paper intended to introduce the concept of RFID-IoT technology in SCM, recent application in SCM such as identification, monitoring, process enhancement, logistic tracking, product quality and analyze the current challenges and future potential of RFID-IoT technology. In future, RFID-IoT is expected to be integrated with other technologies to produce a comprehensive solution in SCM.

Highlights

For over 50 years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has emerged on proposing various application solution in healthcare, defence and security, environment, agriculture, and supply chain management (SCM)
This paper focuses on the literature of RFID-internet of things (IoT) in supply chain operations by introducing the background of RFID-IoT technology, giving useful insights into the anatomy of the previous proposed methods, revealing current limitations and future potential works
This paper reviews the recent researches on RFID-IoT in SCM

Summary

Introduction

For over 50 years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has emerged on proposing various application solution in healthcare, defence and security, environment, agriculture, and supply chain management (SCM). This paper focuses on the literature of RFID-IoT in supply chain operations by introducing the background of RFID-IoT technology, giving useful insights into the anatomy of the previous proposed methods, revealing current limitations and future potential works. Since these solutions had existed over a decade, a review from previous proposals would need to be addressed to provide a knowledge base overview of the technology for researchers and practitioners. The final section of the paper concludes the paper and gives a summary of this review paper
