Efficient RFID Data Cleaning in Supply Chain Management

Abstract

Despite the improvement of the accuracy of RFID readers, there are still erroneous readings such as missed reads and ghost reads. In this letter, we propose two effective models, a Bayesian inference-based decision model and a path-based detection model, to increase the accuracy of RFID data cleaning in RFID based supply chain management. In addition, the maximum entropy model is introduced for determining the value of sliding window size. Experiment results validate the performance of the proposed method and show that it is able to clean raw RFID data with a higher accuracy.
