RFID technology promises to revolutionize supply chains and usher in a new era of cost savings, efficiency and business intelligence. The use of low cost RFID devices in supply chain management systems has been increasing dramatically. While a lot of research has been carried out in trying to make a completely RFID enabled global supply chain a reality there still remains a number of hurdles to be surmounted before that vision can be realized. In this paper, we analyze the specific requirements of a RFID enabled global supply chain. Then we develop and present a RFID architecture that is optimized for developing global supply chain applications but is also fully compatible with the currently used RFID architectures. Finally we do a comparative analysis of our framework with the current RFID architecture standard showing our framework has a number of significant advantages over it.
