1. RFID Projects

I. The Use of RFID in Supply Chain for the Garment Industry

The objective is to investigate the use of RFID in a garment product supply chain which involves manufacturers in Mainland, distribution centers in Hong Kong and retail shops in Hong Kong and overseas. In the process, we will identify and prototype key applications.

II. Technology Toward EPC-based Information Agent

The objective is to investigate and propose enabling technology that is vital for 3rd party information agents to connect, interface and access the vast repositories in the RFID-induced information space. This project will provide the first characterizations of 3rd party information agents and EPC-based repositories, and their combined valued which is perceived as much higher than sum of each individually. Third (3rd) party agents can take advantage of the RFID-induced information, coupled with transactional information generated from specific business chains, and with other business data to project views of these chains that are not possible before. EPC-based information agents, or third-party agents, such as that of DTTN (Digital Trade and Transportation Network) must be able to plug into these repositories seamlessly with enabling technology.

III. Technology for Privacy & Security Schemes in RFID-Driven Chains

The challenge for RFID-driven supply and logistics chains is to derive benefits from the single RFID technology across these chains (or business chains in general) and at the same time, to protect interests of each party at different segments uniquely and individually. Different security and privacy schemes are needed and have been proposed to address the concerns among partners of same and different business chains, and individual consumers or end users.
The objective of this project is to define enabling technology to enforce privacy and security in RFID-driven business chains.

    The Business Integration of RFID Technologies for Hong Kong - Relevant Bibliography

    • We have searched among trade magazines and academic publications to gain an idea of previous and current works on RFID-related business issues and concerns. We provide some annotation whenever we could. We will continue updating this bibliography each half year as research into RFID-Driven business chains continues.
