This is an introduction to "Destination Control of Conveyor Lines Using RFID" in engineering management. RF tags are attached to the sides of resin containers. The RF tags are pre-encoded with the container's "destination information." The RF tags of the containers flowing on the conveyor transport line are read by an RFID antenna.
