Car frames move along a conveyor. There are several workstations along the conveyor. At each workstation, the conveyor halts, while workers add or modify the frame and add! fix components into it.

A typical RFID solution would be to use industrial, metal friendly and RF noise friendly tags. This is because standard RFID tags may not function correctly in an RF noisy environment due to the large amount of welding machines, cutting machines and so on which generate a lot of Radio Frequency noise.

Car manufacturing, in reality today, is less about manufacturing and more about assembling. This means that once the frame of a car is ready,it moves on a conveyor belt and slowly various components and things get added to it along the way. Therefore, a very large number of components have to be fitted in the right place, which again means that the correct components should be available at the correct workstation, when the car frame arrives there for fitment.

Assembly and manufacturing of configurable products are supply chain activities that offer much potential for the use of RFID. RFID tags can be used in a manufacturing setting to identify the product that is being assembled, as well as the constituent parts that are to be installed into the product. At the time of assembly, it is then possible to do an instant check to ascertain what parts need to be installed in the product, and whether the parts that are installed are the correct parts. Thus, RFID has a role in assuring the quality of the end product. This benefit is particularly valuable if the product is highly customizable.
