【Time】13:00-14:00, April 26, 2012 (Thursday)


【Venue】Room 512, Shunde Building

【Topic】RFID Technologies in Manufacturing Industry

【Speaker】Dr. Qin Wei (Faculty Candidate), Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, The University of Hong Kong.

【Abstract】

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology has shown itself to be a promising technology to track movements of goods in manufacturing industry. It brings unprecedented visibility which can save labor cost, improve production coordination, reduce inventory and WIP, and support decision making. A lot of publications are filled with estimates and proclamations of the benefits and quantified values of RFID. However most of them are still quite away from the practical implementation. This talk investigates how RFID can be used in different industrial sectors by showing various realistic applications. Some challenges and future directions are reviewed and summarized to help industry realize the full potentials of RFID.
