Australian hospitals had begun exploring Radio Frequency Identification, a wireless automatic identification and data capture technology for improving the quality of their services towards the end of 2000s. After many an unsuccessful pilots, a breakthrough for large hospitals came in 2010, with a key learning rendered by a large regional hospital that not only experimented with the technology, but also have made it all pervasive in their operations. In this chapter, we present the case study, through an innovation translation perspective, focusing on the socio-technical factors captured through elements of Actor-Network Theory.

The Impact

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a rapidly evolving technology for automatic identification and data capture of products. One of the barriers to the adoption of RFID by organizations is difficulty in assessing the potential return on investment (ROI). Much of the research and analyses to date of ROI in implementing RFID technology have focused on the benefits to the retailer. There is a lack of a good understanding of the impact of RFID at upper echelons of the supply chain. In this paper, we present a framework and models for assessing the value of RFID implementation by tier-one suppliers to major retailers. We also discuss our real-life application of this framework to one of Wal-Mart’s top 100 suppliers

Frequency Identification

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a non-contact, automatic identification technology. Through its radio frequency signal, RFID offers automatic target recognition and access to relevant and without human intervention identification of work is made. RFID can work in various environments. It can identify fast moving objects and is capable of identifying multiple tags, in a rapid and convenient operation. Since the 1990s, RFID technology has been widely used in commercial, logistics, property management and other fields, but interest towards potential application to the needs of the tourism industry only began in recent years.

Privacy Issues

Radio frequency identification technology is an automatic identification technology started in the 1990s. With the RFID technology in a wide range of applications in different areas, it offers the security and privacy threats and caused a great deal of attention. At present, system security and privacy issues have become one of the main factors restricted the wide application of radio frequency identification technology. Aimed at the problem, this article discussed the safety of the privacy issues.

Parameter Scheme

Radio Frequency Identification is an Automatic Identification Technology. RFID system typically consists of a reader and a number of tags. When more than one tag send signal to reader at the same time, reader will not identify any one. This is called collision. The information of collision is regarded as uselessness in the conventional algorithms. But in fact, useful information can be extracted from the collision and the reading efficiency can be improved. In this paper, tags use BIBD(16,4,1) blocks instead of RN16, the reader analyses the collision information based on the characteristics of BIBD and makes valid recognition even when more than one tag have been detected in same time slot. The theoretical and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the reading efficiency by 100% than that of the conventional Q algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed scheme changes little to the existing standard, easy to implement and compatible for EPC Global Code.
