Abstract

In today’s manufacturing environment, delay in monitoring output performance might cause production mess in the industry. Therefore, an efficient communication and real time feedback to maximize uptime and improve productivity seems vital. Adapting the capabilities of RFID technology and Wireless Mesh Sensor Network (WMSN) through web-based monitoring system might solve this problem. Thus, an embedded system namely ERFIDC was developed as a potential solution in addressing this demand. This paper reports the proposed embedded system architecture and evaluation of its reading range in point-to-point and WMSN setup at the selected production plant.
