As a key advanced manufacturing technology in next generation manufacturing systems, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is considered to be one of the most promising technological innovations with the potential to increase visibility and improve efficiency. Therefore, research about RFID and its applications are increasing by blasting with all kinds of RFID models in various fields, especially in manufacturing. By introducing RFID technology into the job-shop floor, this paper proposes a systematic RFID-driven graphical formalized deduction model (rfid-GFDM) for describing the time-sensitive state and position changes of work-in-progress (WIP) material flows and guiding where to deploy RFID devices and how to use them for collecting real-time on-site data. Four steps including RFID configuration based on the process flow model, state blocks model, automatic event generation, and extended event-driven model are proposed one by one to support the implementation of rfid-GFDM. The nature of RFID technology is revealed, too. A use case about a computer numerical control (CNC) milling system is studied, and it demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed model. Finally, the possibility of popularizing the model to other field is discussed, too. It is expected to establish a normative RFID modeling method that will facilitate the convenience of RFID applications in a broad scope.

Passive radio frequency identification-based technology is a convincing approach to the achievement of versatile energy- and cost-efficient wireless platforms for future wearable applications. By using two-part antenna structures, the antenna-electronics interconnections can remain non-stressed, which can significantly improve the reliability of the textile-embedded wireless components. In this article, we describe fabrication of two-part stretchable and non-stretchable passive ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification textile tags using electro-textile and embroidered antennas, and test their reliability when immersed as well as under cyclic strain. The results are compared to tags with traditional one-part dipole antennas fabricated from electro-textiles and by embroidery. Based on the results achieved, the initial read ranges of the two-part antenna tags, around 5 m, were only slightly shorter than those of the one-part antenna tags. In addition, the tag with two-part antennas can maintain high performance in a moist environment and during continuous stretching, unlike the one-part antenna tag where the antenna-integrated circuit attachment is under stress.

Purpose – To prevent malpractices, medical staff has adopted inventory time-outs and/or checklists. Accurate inventory and maintenance of surgical instruments decreases the risk of operating room miscounting and malfunction. In our previous study, an individual management of surgical instruments was accomplished using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a new management method of RFID-tagged instruments. Design/methodology/approach – The management system of RFID-tagged surgical instruments was used for 27 months in clinical areas. In total, 13 study participants assembled surgical trays in the central sterile supply department. Findings – While using the management system, trays were assembled 94 times. During this period, no assembly errors occurred. An instrument malfunction had occurred after the 19th, 56th, and 73th uses, no malfunction caused by the RFID tags, and usage history had been recorded. Additionally, the time it took to assemble surgical trays was recorded, and the long-term usability of the management system was evaluated. Originality/value – The system could record the number of uses and the defective history of each surgical instrument. In addition, the history of the frequency of instruments being transferred from one tray to another was recorded. The results suggest that our system can be used to manage instruments safely. Additionally, the management system was acquired of the learning effect and the usability on daily maintenance. This finding suggests that the management system examined here ensures surgical instrument and tray assembly quality.
