dc.description.abstractRFID is a technology that has existed for many years, but it is only recently that it has experienced the rapid growth that has arisen from application of this technology in various supply chains. From inventory management to theft detection, RFID has been applied in many areas such as in the automotive industry and logistics, as well as in warehouses and retail stores (Angeles, 2005). Potential has also been seen for the application of RFID in capital asset management applications such as keeping track of maintenance tools in the aircraft maintenance sector (Lampe et al., 2004). RFID has the ability of giving a unique identity to each tagged object. Hence, there is a vision to extend this technology to itemlevel tagging (other than pallet and case-level tagging), to give each specific item-level object a unique identity (Sarma et al., 2001). The increasing implementation of the RFID technology in supply chains has posed many challenges and one of the biggest is the degradation of the system performance when tagging metallic objects or operating in an environment containing metals. The tagging of objects at pallet, case, and even item levels will most likely involve metallic objects. For example, in the automotive industry, when RFID is used for part tracking, a majority of the parts are made of metal (Strassner and Fleisch, 2003). To meet the challenge posed by metallic objects on RFID and to encourage the full deployment of RFID especially down to item-level tagging, results of research on the design of RFID tags suited for metallic application are presented in this chapter.
