Abstract
In supply chain management and asset tracking, identifying an item and its’ location is very important. RFID technology is suitable to perform the identification and tracking for better asset management. RFID tags can be embedded and attached to the items and their information can be classified for verification process. This is important to avoid problems such as data lost during data management as well as for time management. Multi-agent technology is useful to be implemented during the verification of RFID system architecture because intelligent agent has the capability to define specific verification process and can interact to each other in order to improve the efficiency of the RFID system. Multi-agent system, in this verification of RFID system architecture has a role in formulating the system taxonomy. Therefore, in this paper, the verification process of RFID system architecture has been discussed and successfully implemented in RFID shopping system. The implementation has been tested and evaluated. The results have been encouraging based on the investigation and verification done on a simulation platform.
