| Summary: | 碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 工業工程與系統管理學研究所 === 97 === Although barcode technology serves the purposes of collecting information and tracking goods in a material management system, it is found to have certain limitations, such as the small amount of information encoded, the line of sight requirement, and the individual item scan. Further, barcode tend to be easily contaminated, which prevents a reader from identifying them properly. These disadvantages constrain the material management process and greatly increase human costs. The significant advantage of RFID is that it is a non-contact, non-line-of-sight natural technology. Tags can be read through a variety of substances (e.g. snow, fog, ice, paint, crusted grime), and other visually and environmentally challenging conditions, where barcodes or other optically read technologies would be useless. By contrast, the use of RFID in material and warehouse management achieves remarkable success. In this paper, I will discuss potential problems encountered when RFID technology replaces barcode technology, and how an industry might develop a successful system in the use of RFID for a material and warehouse management system.
