RFID
Currently Barcodesystems are the most frequent solutions for data storage within Auto-ID. In addition to that the usage of other techniques is already in preparation and some cases currently in use. One example for that is radio frequency.
Barcode data collection
Technical Basics Applications
Advantages:
? Established identification system ? Easy creation of barcode labels through printing and labeling ? Labelling on each material possible
Disadvantages:
? Adjustment of barcode to the specific object that has to be identified ? Liability to contamination ? write-only ? Low information content ? Not fraud resistant
RFID
Technical Basics Applications
Advantages:
? No specific alignment between object and reader required ? Bunch reading possible ? High information content ? Read and write capabilities ? No line of visibility between reader and object required (except metal) ? One-to-one identification
Disadvantages:
? No read and write capabilities through metal ? Not yet established in very large amounts
Satellite positioning
Technical Basics Applications
Advantages:
? ? ? ? ? ? Worlwide availability High accuracy Identification and positioning without interaction Attachment of sensor technology and electrical actuators No additional installation at airports or customers required Positioning via push of a button and not only at scanning points
Disadvantages:
? ? ? ? Price High power demand Costs for communication Required space
What is RFID?
Technical Basics Applications
Inlay
Antenna
RFID-technology describes the wireless communication between a transponder(tag) and a reader. A transponder contains of a chip and an antenna. ? Various types and features available Basic features ? Read-/Write capabilities and speed ? Active or passive (hybrid technologies available) ? Influence of environmental conditions ? Size and costs 4 frequencies ? ? ? ? LF: 125 KHz HF: 13.56 MHz UHF: 868 MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (USA) Micro wave: 2.45 GHz and 5.8 Ghz
Chip < 1.5 mm2
Why RFID?
Technical Basics Applications
Transponder(tag) contribute to close the gap between physical and informational world
One of the most occuring problems within information technology today is the media disruption „data entry“!
Manual data entry
Physical world • People • Assets and products
Transponder technology Voice entry
This media disruption is equal to a missing part within an information chain. It is one of the causes for ? tardiness ? intransparency ? and failure frequency within internal and external logistic processes
Gap between physical and informational world (media disruption)
Informational world • information systems • information networks
Human intervention required
No human intervention required
time
The modern transponder technology contributes to close the gap between physical world (people, products, assets etc.) and the world of information systems on time and without human intervention.
Advantages of transponders(tags)
Technical Basics Applications
transponder contains the following advantages: ? No failure in communication caused through pollution
? No line of sight needed for read/write
? Automatic reading without alignment ? Cost effective through multiple usage ? Long product life ? Offline-availability of data on the object ? Automatic recognition of editor (transponder card) ? Quick fixing and removal
