Small Manufacturers

The apparel industry is one of the most rapidly growing sectors of the radio frequency identification (RFID) market, and within it, large retailers have been driving RFID adoption. However, the continuation of this industry’s fast-paced growth is questionable due to the uncertainty associated with how manufacturers, especially small ones, would react to the retailer-led RFID initiative. The literature suggests that the relationship between small manufacturers and large retailers could promote or inhibit RFID adoption among the manufacturers. In order to study the impact of the relationship between small manufacturers and large retailers on the small manufacturers’ RFID adoption decisions, this research develops a 2×2 (two-by-two) game model and conducts outcome stability analysis. The results show that, in the 2×2 game framework, (i) the retailer’s opportunistic behavior is unlikely to occur due to the strong stability associated with the manufacturer’s do-nothing option; (ii) the do-nothing option, however, may lead to missed opportunities for both parties; (iii) the retailer’s pressure tactic is not effective in persuading the small manufacturer to adopt RFID; and (iv) the retailer’s collaborative strategy also does not guarantee the manufacturer’s RFID adoption. The discussion of these results concludes with specific suggestions for how to encourage RFID adoption among the small apparel manufacturers.

The Relationship

The emergence of radio frequency devices associated with smart tags—in what is called radio frequency identification (RFID) technology—has been widely discussed in the logistics field, mainly with respect to the implications accrued from this technology in the improvement of organizational efficiency and the creation of strategic ecosystems. However, very little research is available regarding the benefits of this technology in leveraging the relationship of firms with their customers, especially in the retailing arena. Hence, the purpose of this chapter is to analyze the potential of RFID technology with respect to the relationship between retailers and their clients, in order to understand how this technology is capable of increasing a firm’s customer capital, in-line with intellectual capital taxonomy. Lastly, from this study, prospective scenarios are elaborated concerning the use of this technology to increase a firm’s customer capital.

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

The Relationship

In order to overcome the high complexity of the tag in RFID, a new XOR scheme is proposed based on the relationship between X and Z for X XOR (X + On) =Z. As only XOR and random number generator are required to be computed by tags，it is very suitable for low—cost Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) system .

Repetitive Strain ◽

<span>The adoption of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology by libraries promises a solution that could make it possible to inventory hundreds of thousands of items in their collections in days instead of months. In addition, it would allow patrons to check out and return library property automatically at any time of the day. Besides speeding up checkouts, keeping collections in better order, and alleviating repetitive strain injuries among librarians, RFID promises to provide a better control on theft, nonreturns, and misfiling of a library’s assets. With an estimated 35 million library items tagged worldwide in more than three hundred libraries, this technology is generating ever-increasing interest. In October and November 2004, the industrial technology department and the Robert E. Kennedy Library at Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, surveyed participating libraries, RFID electronic discussion groups, and Library and Information Technology Association (LITA-L) electronic discussion group subscribers to collect information with regards to the implementation of RFID systems in libraries. Opinions were gathered regarding such topics, actual or estimated, as RFID implementation costs and time; the impact of the technology on operations such as handling of volumes and security; and RFID system features adopted such as conversion stations, self-checkout units, and security systems. Information on the various RFID library components and the results from the survey are presented in this paper.</span>

The convergence of Internet with the Radio Frequency Identification devices, sensors and other smart devices is termed as Internet-of-Things (IoT). In this concept, the present internet is extended to accommodate every such device which can be powered up or down. The future seems to be drowned in such sensing devices. IoT is seen as a whole new world in which most of the devices are connected and transmit information from one process, place or people to another. Such information could be processed and analyzed to provide understanding and insights. The basic idea of IoT is that it is virtually possible for every physical object in this world to become a computer. The recent advancements in technology have seen the shift of society towards an always connected paradigm that basically realizes the idea of “Internet of Everything (IoE)”. This article explores various aspects associated with Internet of Everything fuelled by Smart Sensor Technology. Further, the emergence of CloudIoT paradigm and various challenges associated with it have been discussed. The impact of COVID-19 on CloudIoT market has also been discussed in brief.

Privacy Risks ◽

This chapter reviews past radio frequency identification (RFID) literature within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry and the impact of consumer benefits on the perceived risks of item-level RFID. Two new categories are used to measure this impact; the separation of consumers' interactions with the technology to in-store and after-sales allows the consumers expectation of privacy to changes depending on the surrounding environment. A quantitative survey on primary household grocery purchasers within the USA revealed that while consumers are aware of the associated privacy risks after sale, they would be willing to use the technology, given sufficient benefits. This important step in RFID literature changes the conversation from a privacy risk management focus to a balanced integration of the technology, focusing on consumer benefits to manage the roll-out within the FMCG industry.

Supply chain management is the backbone of the movement of goods and services. Supply chain management is a term that has evolved from logistics. Traditional supply chain management involved a salesperson, who was the focal point in the supply or logistical chain. In a traditional supply chain model, a business would contact a salesperson to inquire about a product or a salesperson would pitch a product to a business; then the ordering process or supply chain management of movement of goods would funnel through the salesperson as the initial interface. Today, the supply chain has evolved; IT has changed the landscape of the supply chain with applications, such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), CRM (Customer Relationship Management systems), and ERP (Enterprise Resource Programs). The result is major changes in competitiveness, efficiency, costs, and strategy. This chapter examines the evolution of supply chain management and the impact of IT.
