Monitoring goods flows with Radio Frequency Identification

Project leader: Ger van den Kerkhof

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology used in many domains, such as in clothing tags to prevent shoplifting for example. In this project, this technology is being used for the first time to chart and follow the flow of goods actively. RFID can contribute to a more efficient and streamlined delivery of components to production lines, and thus also to a reduction of logistics costs. This project is researching the possibilities of using RFID technology to analyse and redesign internal goods flows.
The participants in this project have defined their scope and explored the technology. Currently, research case studies are under preparation.
