Manufacturing industries employ innovation and differentiation strategies to enhance their competitiveness. Other than that, when faced with a market demand for small quantities and wide varieties, how to reduce production costs and at the same time provide high-quality products has become a critical issue for manufacturing industries nowadays. Recently, the application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become increasingly popular and the utilization of RFID technology can almost fully synchronize the real logistics and information flow of data transmission. At present, manufacturing industries apply one-dimensional bar codes and two-dimensional bar codes to aid in production, but man power is required in the process. In this study, the benefit of RFID in automatic identification is reviewed and its application in automobile assembly to obtain information in real time is explored. The system prototype in this study mainly acts to transfer real-time information about products on an assembly line to a back-end system for calculations, processing, and on-hand stocking of parts, and to record the assembling resume for the use of back-end managers and assembly staff. It is hoped that this technology can function in accordance with the concept of just-in-time (JIT) plant inventory management and reflect the spirit of lean production to efficiently meet actual demand.
