Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the potential utilisation of RFID in the manufacturing context. More specifically the specificity of RFID applications, in terms of application fields, objectives, drivers, potential benefits, are analysed for various manufacturing strategies. The characteristics of the market context and of the structure of the manufacturing/assembly system having a significant impact on RFID application are identified and their influence described. An extensive review of industrial case studies classified according to the various manufacturing typologies (ETO, MTO, ATO, MTS, Retailing & Distribution) is provided. This allows to better assess the steps to be undertaken for developing a successful RFID applications, understand the activities to be included, identify the challenges, estimate the potential benefits and the required investments.
