(RFID)

 Introduction
• Technology that uses radio frequency waves to
transfer data between a reader and a movable item
to identify, categorize, track..
• Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a type of
wireless technology that allows for the matching of a
pet, person or object.
• The system has two parts: tags and readers. The
reader gives off radio waves and gets signals back
from the RFID tag, while the tag uses radio waves to
communicate its identity and other information.
• Radio Frequency Identification works through a small
electronic device, usually a microchip, that has
information stored on it.
 Key Components of RFID
 An RFID tag
 RFID tags can be passive, and therefore powered by the
reader, or active, and therefore powered by a battery.
 A RFID antenna
 Transmits the radio signals from tag to reader
 An RFID reader
 Device that convey information from the tags
to the computer

E-Passport Toll Gate Payment

Application of RFID
 Application of RFID

 Livestock Tagging

 Wild Animal Tracking

 Electronic Article Surveillance

 Automated Toll Collection

 Animal Husbandry

 Vehicle Anti-Theft
 Potential Applications

 Smart Grocery Store

 Smart Kitchen
 Smart Sitterson
 Smart Grocery Store

 Add an RFID tag to all items in the

grocery.
 As the cart leaves the store, it passes
through an RFID transceiver
 The cart is rung up in seconds.
 Smart Groceries Enhanced

 Track products through

their entire lifetime.
 Smart Fridge

 Recognizes what’s been put in it

 Recognizes when things are removed
 Creates automatic shopping lists
 Notifies you when things are past their expiration
 RFID Chef

 Uses RFID tags to recognize food in your kitchen

 Shows you the recipes that most closely match
what is available
 Smart Sitterson

 Tag locations throughout Sitterson

 User walks around with handheld and transceiver
 RFID tags point the handheld to a webpage with
more information about their location or the
object of interest
 RFID vs Barcode

 RFID is more effective

 Barcodes have limited information

 Read/write capability

 RFID tags can be read at much distance

 Advantages

 The RFID tags can store data up to 2KB.

 Cannot be easily replicated and therefore, it increases the
security of the product.
 Simple to install/inject inside the body of animals/human
beings
 Speed
 Disadvantages

 Doesn’t work properly on liquids and metal products.

 More expensive than barcode system
 Harder to understand
 Tags are usually larger than barcode labels
 Possibility of unauthorized reading of passports and credit
cards
 Describe how passive RFID tags work.

• RIFD tags hold identification information which is sent in

response to a reader sending a signal the tag is powered by
the reader’s signal
• Passive tags are powered by radio waves which are sent by
the RIFD reader the tag sends identifying information in
response to signals from the reader
• The tag works with a reader. The reader broadcasts a radio
signal and any tag within range responds sending the code
that is stored in the tag the tag does not have a battery and
gets its power from the radio signal
 One use of RFID tags is to help reduce theft.
Give one other way that the shop could make use of the
RFID tags on the plants.

• stock checking
• stock control
• inventory control
• order picking
• checkout free payment
