Information systems for manufacturing often follow a three-layer architecturebased on an enterprise resource planning (ERP) layer (for order planning), a manufacturing execution system (MES) layer (for factory control), and a shop floor layer (for machine control). Future requirements on flexibility and adaptability require a much closer integration of ERP systems with the manufacturing floor. To achieve this integration, an MES often pushes customer orders to the manufacturing floor in a flexible manner. Moreover, a large amount of shop floor data needs to be filtered and fed into business planning applications such as production planning or supply chain management. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips can play an important role in the collection and management of such data. Clearly explains how to benefit from RFID technologies in production and manufacturing, and how to design realistic cost-benefit calculations. Details how to benefit from RFID technologies in inter-enterprise business collaboration scenarios. Describes first-hand experiences and visions for exploiting RFID technologies using SAP’s ERP software INDICE: 1) RFID in Manufacturing: From Shop Floor to Top Floor - 2) The Role of Enterprise Software - 3) The Role of Manufacturing Execution Systems - 4) Six Case Studies - 5) Lessons Learned - 6) Conclusions and Outlook - References.
