Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology and Application in Fashion and Textile Supply Chain highlights the technology of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and its applications in fashion and textile manufacturing and supply chain management. It discusses the brief history, technology, and working of RFID including the types of RFID systems. It compares differences, advantages, and disadvantages of RFID and barcode technologies. It also covers application of RFID technology in textile and fashion manufacturing, supply chain, and retail, and RFID-based process control in textile and fashion manufacturing. It covers various applications of RFID starting from fibre manufacturing through yarn and fabric manufacturing; fabric chemical processing; garment manufacturing and quality control; and retail management. It offers case studies of RFID adoption by famous fashion brands detailing the competitive advantages and discusses various challenges faced and future directions of RFID technology.
"This is a timely and useful publication about an area of technology that is increasing in use in the fashion and textiles industry. RFID technology is being harnessed in order to improve quality, increase traceability and speed up the supply chain. New applications for the technology are constantly being found and developed. It is important for students of fashion and textiles and those who are already working in the industry to understand how the technology is being applied across all sectors from fibre production to retail. Written in accessible language it is a good introduction to the topic but also covers technical areas in depth for those who want a more detailed examination of its implementation."
