Abstract

Traditional methods of monitoring production in enterprises by humans on site are unable to meet the expectations for efficiency, accuracy and cost as product lifecycles are shortened continuously. Setting up an RFID and ZigBee based manufacturing monitoring system is a good approach to improve monitoring efficiency so as to improve management efficiency in enterprises. Although there are still some problems to be solved for RFID and ZigBee technologies, their unique features still make the monitoring system based on them a promising system in manufacturing enterprises. The architecture of the RFID and ZigBee based monitoring system is presented in this paper.
