The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions an ecosystem where smart and interconnected objects can sense surrounding changes, communicate with each other, process information and take active roles in decision making. Optimizing supply chain performance is a primary concern of manufacturing and logistics organizations. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is helping organizations to build automated and interconnected smart environment by object identification and tracking, motivating the first step towards an IoT-enabled world. This chapter attempts to understand extant literature studying applications of RFID in implementing the IoT in supply chain management. We categorize extant literature, firstly, based on research methodology and secondly, based on supply chain processes. We find that presently academic activity is around conceptualizing the usability of RFID in the IoT with limited analytical and empirical evidence. Supply chain processes such as demand planning, procurement, retail shelf space management and product returns are prospective areas for interesting future research.

RFID (radio frequency identification) technology can be expressed in the most universal manner as wireless identification technology, which does not need the line-of-sight to be read or written. It offers enhancement of identification technologies like barcode technology. Optical barcode technology was developed in 1948 by Silver and Woodland at Drexel Institute of Technology and first commercially used in 1966 (Adams, 2002). Barcode technology stores data in the widths and spacings of printed parallel lines, or in patterns of dots, concentric circles, and hidden within images. The most extended is UPC code which was invented in 1973 and since then became everyday part of our life. Other commonly used types of barcodes are Code 128, Code 93 (Groover, 1980) and DataMatrix 2D barcode. At this time, mostly the barcodes are keeping inventory and shipments moving. RFID technology has several advantages for managing and collecting object’s data or tracking it as it moves through the supply chain (SC). Two of them are related to the increased abilities of security and reliability of the identification systems. These two properties of identification technologies are equally important for their use in supply chain management (SCM). The purpose of this chapter is to highlight selected areas of this technology that may be critical specific aspects of further RFID development and applications. We have also discussed about differences between RFID and barcode technologies especially in terms of their use in SCM and concluded this article with expectations of further development of this still progressive technology.

H σημερινή εποχή απαιτεί την εφαρμογή καινοτόμων τεχνολογικών εξελίξεων τόσο στην επιστήμη όσο και στον Βιομηχανικό κλάδο. Η σημερινή Βιομηχανία στην Ελλάδα αποτελεί έναν σημαντικό παράγοντα ως προς την ανάπτυξη της Χώρας και καθίσταται όλο και πιο σαφής η σημαντικότητα του ρόλου των αυτοματοποιημένων διαδικασιών εντός και εκτός του χώρου. Οι επιχειρηματικές διαδικασίες και ροές απαιτούν σύγχρονα πληροφοριακά συστήματα για την ομαλότερη και επιτυχή λειτουργία εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας από τον αρχικό προμηθευτή έως τον τελικό πελάτη που θα αγοράσει το προϊόν ή την υπηρεσία. Το γεγονός αυτό ενισχύεται από την ύπαρξη πληροφοριακών συστημάτων και εφαρμογών που εγκαθίστανται σε όλους τους εμπλεκόμενους της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας. Η τεχνολογία RFID αποτελεί ένα σημαντικό εργαλείο για την συνεχόμενη ιχνιλασιμότητα των προϊόντων καθώς και τη διαφάνεια των εσωτερικών και εξωτερικών ροών των επιχειρήσεων. Τέτοιου είδους τεχνολογίες απαιτούν ένα σεβαστό κόστος και χρειάζονται κάποιο βαθμό εξειδίκευσης από το αντίστοιχο προσωπικό ή από τα άτομα που έχουν άμεση σχέση με την λειτουργικότητα του συστήματος στο οποίο χρησιμοποιούνται. Δεν είναι τυχαίο, άλλωστε, ότι σε πολλούς βιομηχανικούς κλάδους χρησιμοποιούνται τέτοιου είδους πληροφοριακά συστήματα και εφαρμογές και το προσωπικό πρέπει να εκπαιδεύεται συνεχώς έτσι ώστε να μπορεί να ανταπεξέρχεται στις συνεχόμενες αλλαγές και απαιτήσεις των πελατών.Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη διαπιστωθείσα σημαντικότητα των καινοτόμων τεχνολογικών εφαρμογών όπως την τεχνολογία RFID και την υπάρχουσα οικονομική κρίση στον Ελλαδικό χώρο, σκοπός αυτής της διατριβής είναι η μελέτη αυτών των εφαρμογών που χρησιμοποιούνται καθώς και την εισαγωγή καινοτόμων επιχειρηματικών μοντέλων, για το χώρο της Εφοδιαστικής Αλυσίδας και την Ελληνική Βιομηχανία, επιστημονικών και συστηματικών θεωριών και μεθοδολογιών λήψης αποφάσεων στη διαδικασία ανάπτυξης των τεχνολογικών εφαρμογών οι οποίες θα βασίζονται σε σύγχρονα εργαλεία και κυρίως τη χρήση της σύγχρονης σχετικά Τεχνολογίας RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). Χρησιμοποιούνται κριτήρια βασισμένα στην διεθνή βιβλιογραφία με χαρακτήρα εφοδιαστικό και καινοτόμο. Η διατριβή παρέχει στην εκάστοτε Διοίκηση της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας των ελληνικών επιχειρήσεων επιχειρηματικά μοντέλα βασισμένα στην βέλτιστη απόδοση και εξυπηρέτηση όλων των εσωτερικών και εξωτερικών διαδικασιών και ροών της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας σε σημείο όπου ίσως καταφέρουν να βγουν από τον κλοιό της οικονομικής κρίσης και να μπορέσουν να μπουν ξανά δυναμικά στη διεθνή αγορά.
