Abstract

The need to track and trace objects in real time has determined numerous companies to adopt one of today's greatest contributory technologies, namely Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID). The paper examines the impact and the potential benefits generated by the integration of this technology in business-to-business (B2B) applications through a proposed RFID_B2B system. This system offers multiple performance levels for varying system and application needs, and can be readily personalized to meet current and future user demands. A proof of concept has been introduced to demonstrate the feasibility of an RFID_B2B application in a specific supply chain. A realistic business scenario has been taken into consideration to illustrate that RFID technology may enhance the operational efficiency in enterprise systems and even help numerous companies comply with the ever-growing demands of business customers. Furthermore, the authors maintain that RFID enables more integrated and collaborative B2B e-commerce solutions. The paper aims to increase awareness about the tremendous potential of integrating RFID technologies in B2B applications.
