Abstract

Integrating RFID and document management systems can provide a better awareness regarding the state of the enterprise context and, then, bring new benefits. The activity flow characterizing a business process depends on the moving of a definite sequence of paper documents from a given organization’s office to another one. If the document circulation is monitored and managed by using RFID technology, additional data can be captured from the organization information system enriching the set of data produced by a traditional document management system. By extracting information from this data, an organization can improve its knowledge regarding its activity flows. As a result, less time for performing a business process is spent, capability to planning and make decision increases, evaluation errors decreases and economic advantages are obtained. This paper describes an RFID design, addressing this thesis.
