Abstract

The advent of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technique, low-cost wireless sensor devices, and web-based technologies are ushering new ways to take control of the plethora of data created by the Internet of Things (IoT) approach has gained popularity in the modern manufacturing industry. This mechanism provides an opportunity of remotely storing and retrieving data from RFID-tags. Products labelled with such tags can be scanned efficiently using RFID-readers that do not require line-of-sight. This type of identification and access to information on tags are used by manufacturing business operations, can lead to improving logistics, and better customer service. However, the widespread use of RFID technology also introduces serious security and privacy risks since the information stored in tags can easily be retrieved by hidden RFID-readers, eventually leading to the violation of genuine business operation privacy. This chapter discusses the open research challenges of RFID applications in the manufacturing supply chain operations.
