| Summary: | Industry 4.0 (I4.0) presents a unique challenge of efficiently transforming traditional manufacturing to smart and
autonomous systems.Integrating manufacturing systems, materials, machinery, operators, products and consumers,
improve interconnectivity and traceability across the entire product life cycle in order to ensure the horizontal and vertical
integration of networked Smart Manufacturing (SM) systems. Manufacturing functions of Material Handling (MH)-control,
storage, protection and transport of raw materials, work in process (WIP) and finished products- throughout a manufacturing
and distribution process will need a revamp in ways they are currently being carried in order to transition them into the
SM era. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), an Automated Identification Data Capture (AIDC) technology increasingly
being used to enhance MH functions in the (SM) industry, due to opportunities it presents for item tracking, out of sight
data capturing, navigation and space mapping abilities. The technology readiness level of RFID has presented many
implementation challenges as progress is being made to fully integrate the technology into the preexisting MH functions.
Recently, many researchers in academia and industry have described various methods of using RFID for improving and
efficiently carrying out MH functions as a gradual transition is being made into I4.0 era. This paper reviews and categorize
research finding regarding RFID application developments according to various MH functions in SM, tabulates how various
I4.0 enablers are needed to transform various traditional manufacturing functions into SM. It aims to let more experts
know the current research status of RFID technology and provide some guidance for future research. |
