隨著資訊網路科技的創新與進步，無線射頻識別已經逐漸廣泛應用於人們日常生活之中，使的無線射頻識別相關設備的管理，變得格外重要。無線射頻識別讀取器的運作是否正常，能否達到使用者的要求，就必須時時刻刻瞭解目前相關設備的狀態，在必要時更改設定或是增加無線射頻識別讀取器的個數等…，而有異常的狀況發生時，就必須依據影響的程度進行處理，例如: 無線射頻識別讀取器網路斷線或無法讀取無線射頻識別標籤時，就必須立即找出中斷原因及設備所發生的問題，以確定能夠在使用者提出問題之前，在最短的時間內將系統恢復正常。
在全球商品條碼策進會裡，囊括了著名的學術研發單位，制定了國際標準，包含了如何管理無線射頻識別讀取器與其相關設備，但在標準制定前，早期開發的無線射頻識別讀取器與相關中介軟體等…，在現今並沒有辦法及時因應與追尋標準。因此，在我們的研究之中，使用了傳統的網路管理機制，將無線射頻識別讀取器視為網路硬體設備之一，導入了網路管理模式。
在此網路管理架構之中，我們在網路管理伺服器與無線射頻識別讀取器之間加入了代理伺服器，使無線射頻識別讀取器如同網路路由器，接受網路伺服器的管理，並且加入了管理優先權的設計，當設備發生異常行為時，管理者可依照影響的程度依序處理。另外，我們長期收集無線射頻識別相關設備使用狀態，資料分析處理後，可提供管理者，依據情況更改無線射頻識別讀取器設定或是變更無線射頻識別使用環境，使無線射頻識別相關應用更為便利。

RFID applications continue to enter market; innovation continues to characterize information technology. Therefore the management of RFID devices is of increasing importance. Stakeholders must have control of RFID applications at all times. Stakeholders must have the ability to add RFID readers to match increased demand. Downtime must be minimized. High priority problems must be required first. If possible, the RFID system should inform the system manager about problems before the users do.
EPCglobal has a world-famous research department. After the RFID market had boomed, EPCglobal authored the international standard for RFID reader management. However, many RFID readers and middleware packages had been developed before the EPCglobal started. In our research, we use traditional network management concepts. We do not assume the RFID hardware and middleware is EPCglobal compliant. We configure the RFID reader as a network device.
In the network management architecture, a proxy server is added between the RFID readers and management server. The RFID readers serve as network routers managed by the network management server. Furthermore, we add a priority concept to our proxy server. When devices encounter exceptional situations, managers can manage these situations according to different device priorities. From test results of this system, it can support the formation of network management policies. Moreover, this system has numerous applications for campuses.
