We cover in more detail such an application in the jewellery industry where large volumes of jewellery items are affixed with tamper-evident tags and scanned daily, thus lowering the risk for inventory shrink and deviation. Further, such application provides granular visibility on a daily basis where, traditionally, inventory counting sessions are manual, inaccurate, labour-intensive, and too infrequent to provide concrete value. Finally, we offer insight into an innovative financial model made possible by such an application. The model offers new opportunities for funding and alleviating the burden and risks of high-value inventory endured by trading partners in the industry. The model also offers new possibilities to financiers for providing gold jewellery consignments to retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers, as a competitive alternative to traditional gold loans.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114676317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An IC packaging house needs to deal with problems integrating production flows of wafer in, packaging, test, and shipping in order to provide clients instant and accurate products and services information. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is an effective electronic information carrying device to collect and alter data. In this study, RFID technology, combined with RosettaNet network and enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, is applied to resolve the wafer receiving and inventory transaction problems. An electronic material flow control system for IC packaging houses is developed using Oracle application implementation methodology to integrate RFID technology, RosettaNet network, and ERP system. The developed electronic material flow control system is implemented in a local IC packaging company. Results from this study suggest that labor cost and man-made errors are reduced due to the significant improvement for wafer receiving process and inventory transaction process using RFID technology. Besides that, the developed material flow control system enhances the capability of the ERP systems so as to greatly reduce operators' workload and operation costs for IC packaging houses.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114383560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The low cost read-only tags do not need semiconductor elements and can be implemented by printing a conducting pattern on a low cost dielectric substrate. Multiple tags are simultaneously illuminated by a chirped microwave signal with a bandwidth of few hundred MHz to few GHz. The composite backscatter from all tags is mixed with the transmitted chirp signal and filtered to generate an intermediate frequency (IF). The IF is further processed with a narrow detection bandwidth to select a particular tag. Next, the phase-frequency profile of the reflection coefficient (complex impedance) of the selected tag is recovered with the help of a reference channel. Phase-frequency signatures of individual tags determine the tag identity. The technique allows operation with low transmit power, provides range information and mitigates against multi-path propagation and interference.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134056672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primarily, the aim of this paper is to present the requirements for improving the functionality of the NFC-based systems. These requirements are based on the experiences from the catering service pilot described in this paper. The NFC-based catering service system was used by logistics service, meal producer, elderly care and elderly clients of the catering service. Meal service clients and drivers of the logistics service used NFC-enabled devices and other parties monitored the service process. The duration of the pilot test was approximately eight weeks. The NFC-based system is investigated from technical, organizational and user aspects in this paper. Overall, the interaction technique itself was intuitive and easy to adopt, but the unreliability of the system incurred problems during the pilot. We also suggest that continuous identification is an appropriate way to implement user/device identification. However, this requires NFC-enabled mobile devices to be user or environment-specific. Based on experiences from the pilot test, we suggest that integrating NFC with other technologies requires keeping the scheme simple and limiting non-controllable factors. Maintenance of tags should be taken into account when an organization is adopting the system. Furthermore, the importance of immediate feedback concerning touching emerged in the pilot test.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133824048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
