Abstract
This study introduces an overall framework for RFID applications in product lifecycle management(PLM). PLM is a new strategic approach to manage product related information efficiently over the whole product lifecycle. Recently, with emerging technologies such as radio frequency identification(RFID), global positioning system(GPS), and wireless communication, PLM provides a new environment that enables us to gather and analyze product lifecycle information, and make decisions on several issues without spatial and temporal constrains. However, a PLM system just provides us with new opportunities to gain the PLM system, first and foremost, it is necessary to look into its overall framework in the viewpoint of hardware, software, and business model. For this purpose, in this study, first, we introduce the technical framework of the new PLM environment with the concept of extended RFID system, called product embedded information device(PEID). Then, for each lifecycle phase such as beginning of life(BOL), middle of life(MOL), and end of life(EOL), we explore several research problems that become highlighted under the new PLM environment.
