Radio Frequency Identification (rfid)

ABSTRACT: Radio frequency identification (RFID) uses Radio Waves to track objects using tags attached to them. The tags contain information about theobject they are tagged to which is revealed using an RFID reader. Active tags have a local power source (battery) and can operate over hundreds of meters from the RFID reader. Passive tags do not have a local power source, hence they are poweredusing radio waves from an RFID reader. Unlike a barcode, the tag could be out of the reader’s line of sight,hence it may be attached as well as embedded within the tracked object. RFID is one of Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) methods. RFID tags are used in numerous industries, for example, an automobile with an RIFD tag tagged to it can be tracked in real time throughout the assembly line; It can be used to track pharmaceuticals ina warehouse; and implanting RFID tags in livestock and pets assist in their tracking and classification.

This chapter will review what Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), details on RFID, previous and current asset management system application using RFID. A comparison for RFID vs Barcode, types of RFID, advantage and disadvantage of RFID will also be discussed to determine the best technology to be chosen.

A lot of children need to be travel to and from school each day. Providing Safer transportation for school student has been an important issue because it is commonly notice that, children realize themselves locked within the bus at the bus parking after getting to school, they miss the bus, ride the incorrect buses with no way to track them, or even crossing the road without paying attention to traffic. However, crime against children is expanding at higher rate so it's time to developand provide asafety system for children getting to school. This research illustrates a technology used to notify parents regarding the status of their children like absence. The system is design to check and detect any student enter incorrect bus and control the entry and exist form school and buses using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)Which provide a great feasibilities for schools and student’s parent .Additionally, the system can be used in anywhere such as industries and educational institutions. However RFID system provide better solutions for protect children’s within schools.

Radio Frequency Identification or RFID is the new generation Auto ID technology that uses radio or wireless communication to uniquely identify and transmit data relating to an item, object, or an individual. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can also be defined as wireless communication technology that uses radio- frequency waves to transfer information between tagged objects and readers without line of sight. This creates tremendous opportunities for linking various objects from real world. These objects are numbered, identified, catalogued, and tracked. Although RFID has been around for more than half a century, it is only in recent years that this technology has begun to attract a lot of attention, due to the convergence of lower cost and increased capabilities of RFID tags. Currently, RFID is emerging as an important technology for revolutionizing a wide range of applications including supply chain management, retail, anti-counterfeiting, baggage handling, and healthcare. Many organizations are planning or have already exploited

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology is being used more and more in the construction industry. RFID tags and peripheral equipment are becoming cheaper and more suitable for application in the supply chain. However, it is difficult for contractors to estimate the costs and benefits of using RFID technology in their production processes. Based on a case study and simulations, the aim of this study is to develop a simulation tool for contractors that would help them to decide how to use RFID technology in specific supply chains. In the case that was studied, the simulation tool provided insight into what errors in the supply chain resulted in unnecessary processes but gave hardly any idea of the cost reduction of the production process by using RFID technology.

RFID is an acronym for Radio Frequency Identification and Detection. It is a fast and reliable means to identify an object. In this technique, the signals are transmitted by using the electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Main advantages of this technique are its non-line-of-sight requirements, higher degree of automation, high speed operation & greater data capacity. Antenna, transceiver & transponder are three main components of a RFID system.

RFID is an acronym for “Radio Frequency Identification” and refers to a technology whereby digital data encoded in RFID tags or smart labels (defined below) are captured by a reader via radio waves. RFID belongs to a group of technologies referred to as Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC). AIDC methods automatically identify objects, collect data about them, and enter those data directly into computer systems with little or no human intervention.RFID system consists of three basic core components: RFID tag, RFID reader, Controller.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of today's most exciting and fastest growing technologies for increasing efficiencies and improving profitability. RFID is a combination of a computer chip and a small radio antenna that allows almost any object to "self-identify." Originally developed for use in World War II, the British used it to identify their planes. The new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) first appeared in the early 1980s where it was used for: item tracking and access control applications. These wireless automatic

Although individual electronic tagging using passive integrated acoustic (PIT) tags is established, it is mainly for fish >60  mm in length and is unsuitable for fish of <30  mm, like zebrafish. We used radio frequency identification (RFID) microtags (1  mm in diameter and 6  mm in length, with a mass of ~10  mg) to individually identify juvenile zebrafish (length 16–42  mm, mass 138–776  mg) for the first time, and studied the effects of intracoelomic implantation on fish survival and microtag loss, growth, spawning and exploratory behaviour. After 5.5  months, both high survival (82%) and low microtag loss (11%) were achieved. The smallest surviving fish weighed 178  mg, and success in microtag reading was 73% for the size class 350–450  mg (26  mm). Greater success was achieved when fish were larger at the time of tagging but no negative effects on growth were observed for any size class and some tagged fish spawned. No significant differences in behavioural responses could be detected between tagged fish and untagged controls after 2  months. Overall, the results suggest that the tagging method is highly suitable for fish as small as zebrafish juveniles. We think this method will provide significant advances for researchers of the ever-growing fish model community and more generally for all small-fish users. Tagging is essential when one needs to identify fish (e.g. particular genotypes with no external cue), to run longitudinal monitoring of individual biological traits (e.g. growth) or to repeat assays with the same individual at discrete points in time (e.g. behaviour studies). Such a method will find applications in physiology, genetics, behaviour and (eco)toxicology fields.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields or electrostatic coupling in a radio frequency portion to transfer data. RFID technology has been available for more than fifty years. The purpose of RFID is automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. An RFID system consists of three main components which is tag as a transponder, the reader and the computer host as a controller. The acronym refers to small electronic device that consist of a small chip and antenna to transmit and receiver. RFID card is a device contain a coil and a chip while placed on a RFID reader the card gets induced power from the reader and then the data present in the card is serially transmitted.

Abstract — In this paper, the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies on life cycle engineering of time and temperature sensitive chemicals (TTSC) is presented based on a case study. The case study includes three levels of applications, integrated hierarchically as supply chain operations, manufacturing facility level inventory management, and station level operations in the manufacturing facility. The impact of RFID deployment on various performance measures in regard to these applications is discussed. The study shows that when combined with effective decision-making schemes, RFID technologies facilitate operational visibility; thus improve productivity, reduce inventory levels, and enable reduction of environmental impact within the scope of life cycle engineering. The case study presents the impact of RFID at three levels in an integrated way: 1. Supply Chain, 2. Manufacturing Facility, and 3. Stations in the Manufacturing Facility. Therefore, different aspects of RFID deployment are emphasized.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a generic term that is used to describe a system that transmits data from an electronic tag through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the objects using radio waves. RFID is in use all around us. It has been used in a toll booth, supermarket and even in your house. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight (LOS) of the reader.

An RFID system serves the same purpose as a barcode system but offers many additional advantages. A radio frequency identification system consists of an antenna, a transponder and a transceiver. The transponder is essentially a tag that can be attached to the inventory item. Most RFID tags are about the same size as barcode labels. The tags are encrypted with a microchip that is attached to a tiny radio antenna. The chip will typically store about two kilobytes of information. The RFID tags are activated with a device called an interrogator. When the tag passes through an area that is magnetized, the reader transmits a signal that is picked up by the tag. The reader then reads the data on the tag and transmits it to a computer. Special software installed on the computer then converts the data into useful information for management.
