The development of computing technology and networking has developed into a fundamental technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which provides a ubiquitous environment. In the ubiquitous environment, the IoT environment has become an issue so that various devices and the things can be actively accessed and connected. Also, the RFID system using the wireless identification code attaches an RFID tag to the object, such as the production and distribution of products. It is applied to the management very efficiently. EPCglobal is conducting a research on RFID system standardization and various security studies. Since RFID systems use wireless environment technology, there are more security threats than wire problems. In particular, failure to provide confidentiality, indistinguishability, and forward safety could expose them to various threats in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, this study analyzes the standard method of EPCgolbal and proposes RFID security method using hash code that can consider the amount of computation.

To obtain visible and traceable information from the supply chain, HW/SW standards for the EPC global network, which process electronic product code (EPC) data read from Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, are regarded as the de facto industry standard. Supply chain participants install information service systems and provide logistics information to partners by following the EPCglobal architecture framework. Although quality of service (QoS) is essential for providing dependable and scalable services as pointed out by Auto-ID Lab, only a few models for the performance analysis of QoS-related work have been developed in the context of EPC information service systems. Specifically, doing so allows alternative design choices to be tested in an easy and cost-effective manner and can highlight potential performance problems in designs long before any construction costs are incurred. Thus, in this study we construct a model of an EPC information service system for the purposes of performance analysis and designing a dependable system. We also develop a set of building blocks for analytical performance models. To illustrate how the model works, we determine the characteristics of an EPC information service system and then select a combination of these proven modeling concepts. We construct a performance model that considers the response time and shows how to derive meaningful performance values. Finally, we compare the analytical results to measurements of the EPC information service system.

Ontology is an explicit specification of concepts and relationships between concepts in an interest domain. As considered as one of typical knowledge representation methods, ontology is applied to various studies such as information extraction, information integration, information sharing, or knowledge management. In IT based industries, ontology is applied to research on information integration and sharing in order to enhance interoperability between enterprises. In supply chains or logistics, several enterprises participate as business partners to plan movements of goods, and control goods and logistics flows. A number of researches on information integration and sharing for the effective and efficient management of logistics or supply chains have been addressed. In this paper, we address an ontology as a knowledge-base for semantic-based integration of logistics information distributed in the logistics flow. Especially, we focus on developing an ontology that enables to represent and translate semantic meaning of EPC data in the EPC Network applied logistics. We present a scenario for tracing products in logistics in order to show the value of our ontology.

The EPCglobal Network is a system which provides the information of items to suppliers, consumers, and customers by granting identification numbers on the goods based on the technologies of EPC(Electronic Product Code) and RFID(Radio Frequency Identification), and connecting the space to store those information by network. The EPCglobal architecture framework is also a service consolidating supply and process chain by using EPC for the common goal of business corporations. In the national level, it is necessary to define standard vocabularies for each location and logistics business process for RFID environment using the pre-constructed logistics information infrastructure. Therefore, we define the standard vocabularies and partially user vocabularies for international logistics on EPCglobal network architecture. Finally, we believe that our vocabularies contribute to describing the events fur the EPCglobal network architecture and actually providing usable platform via the XML implementation.

In this letter, a small-loop antenna for a mobile UHF RFID device is proposed. To achieve size reduction, a ferrite sheet optimized for a 900 MHz band is applied. The overall dimensions of the antenna are $46mm{\times}35mm{\times}0.24mm$, and it has a bandwidth of 45 MHz with a return loss of less than -6 dB. The proposed antenna satisfies near and far field UHF EPC global frequency band communications (902-928 MHz).

EPC를 탑재한 RFID 형태의 스마트객체를 이용한 물류 시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 시스템 구성 요소간의 거래에 필수적인 RFID 객체의 PML 데이터를 표현하고 검색요구에 대응하는 RFID 정보서비스의 설계 및 관리가 매우 중요하다. EPC기반 RFID 정보서비스는 네트워크상의 정보시스템들에 보안과 운영의 이유로 분산되어 있는 RFID 객체 정보들을 검색하여 사용자가 요구하는 결과를 반환하는 역할을 담당한다. 하지만 RFID 객체 정보의 표준화된 표현과 처리, 그리고 분산처리로 인한 통신량과 처리시간과다의 문제가 존재한다. 이에 대해서 본 연구는 물류시스템의 PML 데이터의 표현 및 사용, 검색패턴을 분석하고, 분석 결과를 기반으로 미들웨어를 이용하는 분산형 RFID 객체 데이터 관리 및 RFID 객체 정보서비스 구조를 설계하고 제시하였다. 단일형 및 통합형 RFID 정보서비스 구조를 제시하였다.

Radio Frequency Identification system based on EPC(Electronic Product Code) Network Environment can read or write information of tagged objects, using Rf signals without direct contact. This advantage which is to provide storage ability and contactless property is better than Bar-code system. Mobile RFID system which integrates Mobile system with RFID system will provide new additional service to users. However, an advantage for obtaining information of objects using RF signal causes personal privacy problem. In this paper, we propose techniques that can protect personal privacy based on mobile. Our scheme provides privacy protection of users and is more efficiently than another application service.

The objective of this study is to improve the classification structure of commodity code for piping material management which is considered as the fundamental of commodity code and piping material management system. It enhances the efficiency of piping material management directly or indirectly affecting the engineering, procurement and construction in a petrochemical plant projects. To establish an improved code classification structure, this study identifies the problems of former code classification structure in details, as well as the characteristics of other domestic and global EPC company's code classification structures and presents the improved direction considering the recently mega-sized and specialized projects. Accordingly, to efficiently enhance piping material management, the improved code classification structures have been derived from defining suitable code classification structure for specific piping component, adding more standard attribute, expanding the number of code digits and classifying code hierarchy. The results of applying the improved classification structure of commodity code to on-going project have led to reduce the rate of rework from 4.98% to 2.48% for developing purchase description and also have saved working time for executing piping design by 3D modeling from 6 months by two persons to 4 months by a person which is decreased 67% consequently. In addition, the structures of pyramid code management have resulted to accumulation and analysis of the various piping data for other disciplines such as procurement and estimation team which require commodity code information through the company's material control system.

The most important mission of RFID reader is identify EPC (Electronic Product Code) of RFID tag of products that located within distinguishable range of RFID reader. RFID reader transmits query message to RFID tags through wireless channel and RFID tags send unique EPC to response its query message simultaneously. therefore tag collision occurred frequently. RFID tags collision resolution algorithm required to apply RFID technology to various industries. In this paper, we propose enhanced M-ary algorithm that collision bits location is used by not only RFID reader but also tags. the main feature of the proposed algorithm is that integrate multiple query message of M-ary QT algorithm to the single query message by analyze multiple response messages from tags. the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm give better performance than M-ary QT algorithm in terms of the number of query-response, identification efficiency and communication overhead.
