Title
Using radio frequency identification in agent-based manufacturing control systems
Abstract
The radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology for automatic identification and localization of items, particularly in supply chain. Unlike bar code technology that detects the optical signals reflected from bar code labels, RFID uses radio waves to transmit the information from an RFID tag placed on the physical object to the RFID reader. A vast amount of raw data coming from RFID readers needs to be collected, filtered and preprocessed prior to providing it to high-level applications and information systems. Current architectures (like 'Savant', 'edge servers' and similar) for collection and filtering are most likely of centralized nature. It obviously does not conform to the distributed nature of agent-based solutions for the RFID-enabled manufacturing control systems. In this paper, we present an agent-based solution where specialized agents collect and filter the RFID data obtained directly from RFID readers and provide the data to other agents via standard agent communication mechanisms.
