Title: Adoption
Of RFID In Logistics A Case Study in The Field of Automobile Logistics
Abstract: Combined
with other new information and communication technologies, RFID (Radio Frequency
Identification) becomes increasingly important for identification, positioning
and communication tasks. The adoption of transponders in the field of automobile
logistics is currently confined to few applications in closed circuits. The
main reasons are relatively high costs as well as insufficient standardisation
and performance of RFID-systems. The authors have investigated possible fields
of transponder usage in an idealised automobile terminal of E.H.Harms Automobile-Logistics
starting with the presentation of improvement opportunities for the existing
business processes. Consequently basic options of utilizing transponders
in this specific industry are described and compared in the context of a
cost-benefit analysis.
