This work considers the application of RFID system in a cable manufacturing. The first part of the thesis depicts the electrical cables and their market by focusing on the Eastearn Europe. A description of ELKA d.o.o. -- a Croatian cable manufacturer, is given, including details on production and technology (machines and software such as CableBuilder and SAP). Some of the most important -- representative products are identified and used for RFID system dimensioning. The core contribution of the work is the feasibility analysis regarding the application of a RFID system with suggestions and estimations regarding the hardware to use, related costs and all the benefits that can derive from its applications as well as the possible integration of the production data generated by RFID system with in the factory already existing SAP software.
