Abstract

RFID has been used as an identification tool that substitutes for bar codes. Its areas of application are increasing due to its suitability in ubiquitous environment. In this paper, first, we review various aspects of RFID, including standards, characteristics, and relationships with wireless sensor networks. Then, we review the technical aspects of RFID and its areas of application, e.g., supply chain management (SCM) and manufacturing since 2005. SCM, in which RFIDs can shorten lead time and ensure the quality of products, is one of the most active application areas. Manufacturing is a relatively new area for RFID applications, but it is believed that it can enhance the productivity and the reliability of the products. Also, the authors suggest research issues and limitations of RFID, as well as possible application areas related to marine engineering.
