Abstract :
Recently, automated identification system has been playing an important role in industry for different types of process and there are different ways, ex. applying Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or barcode scanner to detect tagged items. This study is going to evaluate significant difference of RFID system and barcode scanner for the manufacturing process. The main aim is to show the efficient process which is performed by applying RFID instead of barcode system to enhance productivity and decrease idle time of workstations.
