RFID Data Driven Performance Evaluation in Production Systems

Abstract

Radio frequency identification technology commonly known as RFID technology is now widely used because it can increase productivity, efficiency and convenience. RFID has also been used in the manufacturing industry like shop floors where production data can be collected from production lines and sent to the information center for further analysis. Big data analysis provides a good opportunity, which can help the management of the shop floors. This paper reports on a case study using RFID datasets from a manufacturing shop floor to achieve performance evaluation. The datasets are processed by machine learning algorithms in R language. Some findings and observations have been obtained, which can be used as a reference for the future production.
