Use of RFID as a supporting information pillar in oversized transport

There are nowadays more intelligent information systems in transport, and the RFID technology (radio frequency identification) is increasingly expanding, particularly for its versatility and ability to use without the need for constant renewal of the technical base (no need for regular investment, only for this technology use). Following the oversized transport used for the automotive industry, this technology plays major role in information system between producer / production plants and suppliers. In the event that the producer uses the RFID technology for automated recognition and reception of goods, an RFID chip needs to be attached to each pallet. The data on the chip contain exact data about specification of panels on the pallet as well as the quantity of panels on the pallet and the order of panels. The information contained on the RFID chip ensures factories a reduction of time for checking the goods in terms of goods type of and their frequencies. The RFID technology is a critical transportation technology capable of providing carriers the required information in real time and is also affordable. The link between software and RFID technology – the GPS system is an important aspect, because it is possible to attach additional information to the goods directly via the GPS system. In our contribution we describe the possibilities of that technology
