Methods of manually recording data, using barcodes and tracking distance constraints are problems encountered during handling of materials inside a manufacturing facility. However, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is not new but now as an effort to automate the operation and process of the mill to achieve optimum production. The aim of this study is to develop a production line monitoring system to track the current location of processed products where it underestimates and takes time to be tracked clearly by traditional methods. This proposed system is named Smart Material Flow System (Smart MFS) is to improve the efficiency of locating product in real time in the industrial plant. This novel system was developed based on the Waterfall model. The research methodology involves two parts namely hardware and software. The hardware combines passive RFID and active RFID while the software a General User Interface (GUI) for users to interact with electronic devices through g.....
