RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification) has been proposed as a leading technology that could help reduce wastage in perishable food supply chains. This is due to their cost-effective ability to reliably identify tagged items as well as gather information on their ambient conditions through...

Despite their implementations in a wide variety of applications, there are very few instances where every item sold at a retail store is RFID-tagged. While the business case for expensive items to be RFID tagged may be somewhat clear, we claim that even ‘cheap’ items (i.e., those that cost...

Recent years have seen the growth in popularity of neural networks for business decision support because of their capabilities for modeling, estimating, and classifying. Compared to other AI methods for problem solving such as expert systems, neural network approaches are especially useful for...

We consider RFID tags and their applications from a recycling/remanufacturing perspective and propose a novel framework to assist such process based on item-level information visibility and instantaneous tracking/tracing ability enabled by RFID. The incorporation of RFID in the reverse supply...
