    RFID is a technology that uses radio waves to automatically identify objects. It consists of a small chip attached to an antenna that can be embedded in objects. The chip transmits a unique signal allowing objects to be identified and tracked. RFID was invented in 1948 but did not see widespread commercial use until the 1990s. It provides advantages over barcodes by allowing multiple items to be identified without direct line of sight and by storing more data. Common applications of RFID include supply chain management, asset tracking, and electronic passports.

    RFID--What it is?
    RFID
    ! Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic
    identification method, relying on storing and remotely
    retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or
    transponders.
    ! RFID (radio frequency identification) is a technology that
    incorporates the use of electromagnetic or electrostatic
    coupling in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the
    electromagnetic spectrum to uniquely identify an object,
    animal, or person.
    ! An alternative to bar code.
    ! RFID is also called     
    
    
    
    .
    ! Invented in 1948 by Harry Stockman.

    ! Initial application was during World War II-The United


    Kingdom used RFID devices to distinguish returning
    English airplanes from inbound German ones. RADAR
    was only able to signal the presence of a plane, not
    the kind of plane it was..

    ! Came into commercial use only in 1990s.

    ÷   RFID
    Components of RFID(cont·d)
    Gassive RFID Tags
    ! Tag contains an antenna, and a small chip
    that stores a small amount of data

    ! Tag can be programmed at manufacture


    or on installation

    ! Tag is powered by the high power


    electromagnetic field generated by the
    antennas ² usually in doorways

    ! The field allows the chip/antenna to reflect


    back an extremely weak signal containing
    the data.

    ! Collision Detection ² recognition of multiple


    tags in the read range ² is employed to
    separately read the individual tags
    Active RFID Tags
    ! Battery Gowered tags
    Have much greater range ² 100m
    Hold much more information ² Kbytes
    Can integrate sensing technology
    ! Temperature, GGS
    Can signal at defined time
    Multiple tags can be recorded at once
    ! Used for higher value items
    Shipping containers
    Babies
    Electronic assets
    ! Cost between $20 and $40 per item
    ! Life between 2 ² 4 years

    Tag Gower Source Internal to tag Energy transferred using


    RF from reader

    Tag Battery Yes No

    Availability of power Continuous Only in field of reader

    Required signal strength Very Low Very High


    to Tag
    Range Up to 100m Up to 3-5m, usually less

    Multi-tag reading 1000·s of tags recognized Few hundred within 3m of


    ² up to 100mph reader

    Data Storage Up to 128Kb or read/write 128 bytes of read/write


    with sophisticated search
    and access
    ÷     
    Electronic product code-
    code-EGC
    ! Each tag contains a unique code that facilitating the
    identification process & is known as EGC.

    ! E.g. 613.23000.123456.123456789 (96 bits)

    ! Header ² defines version of EGC(8 bits)

    ! EGC Manager ² describes originator of EGC (Groduct


    manufacturer) (28 bits)

    ! Object Class - Could describe the product type (24 Bits)

    ! Serial Number ² Unique ID for that product item (36 Bits)


    System overview
    RFID Vs Bar Code
    RFID Barcode
    Forging is difficult Forging is easy
    Scanner not required. No need Scanner needs to see the bar
    to bring the tag near the code to read it
    reader
    RFID is comparatively fast

    Can read multiple tags Can read only one tag at a


    time
    Relatively expensive as
    compared to Bar Codes
    (Reader 1000$, Tag 20 cents a
    piece)
    Can be reusable within factory Cannot be reused
    premises
    ! Gillette & Co:

    ! Objective: To Track movement of product from Gackaging


    Center to Glant·s distribution center.

    Greviously-->Using Bar Code, time taken=80 sec to 20 min


    ! Greviously

    ! 1999
    1999-->With RFID it takes 20 seconds.

    ! Gains-
    Gains->Gillette saves 20% in Operational Cost at each
    Distribution Center.
    Issues / Concerns
    Uses of RFID
    ! Used where unique identification is needed.
    ! Large Retail companies ² Groduct Tracking.
    ! Hospitals & Nursing Homes ² Gatient Tagging .
    ! Airports ² Baggage Tracking.
    ! Security Applications ² Contactless Smart Cards.
    ! RFID Readers could also WRITE onto Tags.
    ! RFID Sensors to sense temperature, movement, radiation, food
    quality.
    ! Gassports-UK, Australia, Finland, Ireland.
    ! RFID is used in Libraries.
    ! Replacing Barcodes.
    Initiatives in RFID
    ! Gatni Computer Systems Lab ² Implemented Animal Tracking System

    ! Wipro Technologies - Member of the Electronic Groduct Code (EGC)


    - Setting up a lab to study RFID
    - Working on pilot projects

    ! Infosys Technologies ² RFID consulting on logistics player in the RFID


    space.
    ! TCS have tied up with Hyderabad university to produce RFID tagged
    mark sheets & degrees to deter use of fake degree.

    ! Intellicon - pilot project for BEL Bangalore, tags installed on employee


    buses. Buses inside the BEL campus were tracked with the aim of
    gauging employee punctuality.
