Abstract

The purpose of this chapter was to lay the foundations for the upcoming discussion of RFID in manufacturing. A key observation concerns the fact that RFID develops its full potential only if it is tightly integrated with any existing IT infrastructures. A tight integration with existing ERP and MES systems makes it particularly more likely that RFID will lead to concrete and local productivity improvements in the short and medium terms. Such concrete improvements—especially if they are purely intra-enterprise, i.e., independent of any coordination with supply chain partners—facilitate the adoption decision considerably. Cost–benefit calculations are less complex, and there is less uncertainty about the medium-term profitability of an investment in RFID technology.
