What RFID is
An ADC (Automated Data Collection) technology that:
uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data between a
reader and a tag attached to the object which is to be identified, categorized or tracked..
Is fast and does not require physical sight or contact
Architecture
Consists of 3 main parts 1. Tag 2. Interrogator 3. Controller & software
Host manages Reader(s) and issues commands Reader & tag communicate via RF signal Carrier signal generated by the reader is sent out through the antennas Tag receives and modifies carrier signal Modified signal is sent back to the Reader Reader decodes the data Results returned to the host application
RFID Tags
It is the object containing RFID circuit .
It is attach to the items which need to identified. Active tag Passive Tag
Powered by battery No internal battery (Powered by signal emitted by reader) Shorter read range (4 inches -15 feet) Shorter life compared to active tag Low storage capacity (1KB) Low cost
Header - Tag version number EPC Manager - Manufacturer ID Object class - Manufacturers product ID Serial Number - Unit ID With 96 bit code, 268 million companies can each categorize 16 million different products where each product category contains up to 687 billion individual units
RFID Interrogator
Also called reader which is rugged and portable. Initiates data flow between host computer and tag. It can be wired or wireless. It has the ability to uniquely identify a tag. Provides support for non collision of signals.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
Power Supply
13.56MHz Radio
Animal tagging Anti theft, retail product tagging Traffic toll, vehicle access control Management supply system,vehicle access control

APPLICATIONS
1. Laptop tracking system
Live implementation at L&T. Convenient, time saving and cost efficient method.
2. Asset management RFID implemented to keep assets safe. As assets increases, productivity increases. eg:- ports, shipyards, Garage etc.
Shipping Portals
3.
Attendance Management Using RFID management of workplace attendance. As attendance increases productivity increases. Centralised collection of data eg:- Work place, Educational institutions etc.
Tag
ID card with student/ employee
Interrogater
Read at class door/ main gate
Controller
Intormation sent to University/ DB
Wireless

etc..
Limited applications Manual tracking (so human intervension is needed. Therefore error prone) Read only memory Contains only ID of the product Line of sight Dust, moisture etc affects the reading Less Range Slow reading (Reads one tag at a time)
Global applications (Real time tracking) Automatic tracking Read/Write Memory Contains more than just ID (Includes production details, Destination area etc) Line of sight not required Can even be embedded in the tracking object More Range Fast reading (Reads ~20 tags in 1 sec)
ADVANTAGES
Real time tracking Unlimited scope (scope depends on the imagination of its implementation) Reduced human interventon Mobility Saving Resources Enhanced security Enhanced customer quality service Line of sight not required (Can even be embedded in the tracking object) Convenient, time saving method. Read multiple tags simultaneously (Reads ~20 tags in 1 sec) Long read range
Hidden placement of tags Unique identifiers for all objects worldwide Massive data aggregation Unauthorized development of detailed profiles Unauthorized third party access to profile data Hidden readers Just in case you want to know, shes carrying 700 Euro
CONCLUSIONS
RFID is a convenient and time saving method that gives real time tracking with enhanced customer service quality service. Its scope is limited by the imagination of its implementation. Once various limitations like lack of a global standard, security concerns, the cost factor, etc. are gets overcome and if this technology is fully implemented, it can transform the way we live our lives.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Optical RFID
