Evaluation of automatic identification systems according to ISO 50001: 2011

Abstract

The basic techniques of automatic identification (auto-id) in logistics systems are presented in brief. Auto-id technologies are described with attention given to the existing criteria of their evaluation. A new approach to auto-id system evaluation is proposed. It consists in taking into account the interaction of the automatic identification subsystem with logistics system functional components. Also system energy consumption is taken account in accordance with [2] since this paper continues the series of papers [6‒8]. A case illustrating the use of the new method of evaluating auto-id systems is presented. Conclusions are drawn and the direction of further research in this field is indicated.
