Today "Industry 4.0" becomes the key concept in a world where intelligent machines, systems and networks are capable of independently exchanging and responding to information to manage industrial production processes. The present research aims to evaluate the integration of RFID technology into existing SAP/ERP systems in combination of Industry 4.0 technologies as RFID technology is currently one of the most progressively growing identification technologies. The idea is to store information originating from a SAP/ERP system representing processes and time directly on the RFID tags. A real case study concerning an Italian pilot project is presented. Results show an improvement of the efficiency and of the organizational management through an intelligent and digital process management.

Abstract
Today "Industry 4.0" becomes the key concept in a world where intelligent machines, systems and networks are capable of independently exchanging and responding to information to manage industrial production processes. The present research aims to evaluate the integration of RFID technology into existing SAP/ERP systems in combination of Industry 4.0 technologies as RFID technology is currently one of the most progressively growing identification technologies. The idea is to store information originating from a SAP/ERP system representing processes and time directly on the RFID tags. A real case study concerning an Italian pilot project is presented. Results show an improvement of the efficiency and of the organizational management through an intelligent and digital process management.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
