What is RFID ?

Why in ERP ?

Radio Frequency Identification

For Inventory Visibility and Accountability

What for it is used?To find out positional info thro Radio waves.

How it is useful in IMS

Mainly used in WMS (Warehouse Management System)

Capital asset tracking and management.

BOM management.

Middleware’s of RFID• PML (Physical Markup Language )

Organizes information about physical objects It is communication format for the data to XML.

• ONS (Object Naming Service) Act as pointer for interfacing PML to EPC. Network directory to link EPC codes to databases

• Savant For error checking and duplication handler in the event.

• EPC (Electronic Product code ) Numbering system for Product identification .

Pictorial Representation of RFID

• Process 1: EPC.

• Process 2: Antenna

• Process 3: Reader

• Process 4: Savant

• Process 5: ONS

• Process 6: PML

Transmission Dimensional

Using Electronic chip by Auto-ID for automatic transmission

Proximity Sensor for manual transmission

Bar Code for manual transmission

Auto -ID

Integrated circuits that make up with silicone chips with Auto-ID

Auto-ID open standards and protocols for both tags and readers

Read capacity relatively long range—up to 30 meters

Advantage of Using:

Infrastructure for true automation across supply chains.Real time data capturing is possible

Proximity Sensor

• Electro magnetic detection System

• Electro magnetic sensor transmit data to antenna

• Up to 10 cm to 15 cm

Advantage of Using:

Less cost usage when compare to Auto-Id.

Barcode

• Light sensor detection

• Decoding of circuit analysis from barcode image

Advantage of Using:

Less cost usage when compare to Auto-Id & Proximity process

Advantage of RFID in ERP

• Improve inventory accuracy 55%• Satisfy trading partner requirement 13%• Increase inventory turns 10%• Reduce out-of-stock situation 9%• Improve fill rates 4%• Easy to implement lot and shelf life concept

9%

Global Standard RFID Application users

• SAP• Microsoft Navision • Sun Microsystems (Sun one middle ware)• Procter & Gamble • U.S. Postal Service • Sage and Oracle App.'s are in under process of

implementing the concept..

World wide usage rating RFID in ERP

• Western Europe 61%

• Asia Pacific 59%

• North America 53%

• Latin America 48%

RFID together with good ERP systems promise to give companies Reinventing supply chains and Logistics Management..
