Description
1. Introduction According to Roy Want in [1], "Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) has moved from obscurity into main stream applications that help speed the handling of manufactured goods and materials". Barcode is still the dominant player in supply chain industries and departmental stores. However RFID is replacing barcode technology and enjoys the major advantage of being independent of line of sight problems and scanning the objects from a distance. It offers the promise of reduced labor levels, enhanced visibility, and improved inventory management. Walmart has been one of the leaders in the large scale adoption of RFID technology [1, 2]. RFID tags have a memory capacity of 16-64 Kbytes which is far more than the barcodes (1-100 bytes) [3] and can store additional data such as manufacturer name and product specifications.
