ABSTRACT
The read-write system can not only be read but
it also has the capabilities to be written to. The
memory capacity of the tags varies from 64 bytes
to 32 kilobytes (Jaselskis and El-Misalami 2003).
Since 1979, RFID technology has been used in
many different applications which include but are
not limited to: personnel identification, material
identification, tolls and fees, equipment mainte-
nance, lawenforcement, asset locationand tracking,
and animal tracking (Jaselskis et al. 1995, Akinci
2007). Various industries, such as construction and
maintenance, are looking toward better ways to
manage their inventory in a more efficient manner
and expedite progress of deliverables. Three guiding
business benefits that are driving companies and
industries to invest in RFID systems are: efficiency,
security, and marketing.
