RFID

Radio Frequency Identification


4/32

What is Radio Frequency Identification

(RFID) and How it Works

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)consists of a tiny silicon

computer chip and anantenna

Small electronic tagtransmits data via aradio signal to RFIDreader and relatedsoftware and hardware


5/32

What is RFID and How it Works (cont.)

Each chip can give a unique serial number to everyproduct

Its antenna helps remote scanners read the RFID tags

Chips do not have to be visible to the reading device They read information through materials like fabrics,

wallets, and even cars and containers.

Tags can be mounted to a wide variety of surfacesincluding polyester, nylon, rope, wire and steel.

RFID tags can be scanned at a distance of 69 feet


6/32

RFID Tags Can Tell

What the product is

Where it has been When it expires

When and where merchandise ismanufactured, picked, packed andshipped

Expiration dates

Numbers that will have to bestored, transmitted in real-timeand shared with warehouse

management, inventorymanagement, financial and otherenterprise systems

RFID tags can be readautomatically by electronic readers

RFID Users

The U.S.A. Air Force use RFID

to improve business processranging from trackinghazardous material toreceiving goods from suppliers.

Wal-Mart uses RFID for

automatic inventory countingand locating goods inwarehouse facilities.

Ford will equip Ford F-150, F-Series Super Duty pickups and

E-Series vans with anembedded RFID asset trackingsystem .

Motorola embeds RFID tags inits handheld computers.

10/32

RFID Provides Visibility

Integrating RFID data into video

images to provide higher visibility ofsupply chan.

Users not only read the tag but viewvideo images of the products in realtime.

Video images provides informationfor recovering transport costs due todamages.

RFID and initPROstechnologies givethe location of the product andcurrent condition at the moment of

delivery. Facilitates the claims for transport

damages or losses.

The flow of goods is completelydocumented throughout the logisticscentre.


11/32

RFID for Inventory Inspection and

Certification Solution UPM & Marnlen, Inc supplies two new durable RFID

options for both metal and non-metal applications.

The metal application utilizes special materials topreserve the RFID tags readability.

Provides an efficient & accurate way to conductinspection and certification processes.

Eliminates the physical paperwork and human errorassociated with manual processes.

Designed to resists harsh as a high-volume of physical

abuse, shock, UV radiation, temperature variabilityand moisture.

Serving numerous industries including constructionand fire and rescue services.


12/32

DAILYS new Adhesive RFID on-metal Tag

DAILY RFID has launched a newpassive RFID series for on-metalindustrial applications, such asrailway and warehousing.

The adhesive RFID tags arespecifically designed to trackproducts containing metal.

Can be easily affixed to any metalsurface with its self-adhesive 3MGlue.

Each tag operates at 125 KHz or13.56 MHz

The RFID small size metal tags canprovide an impressive read rangefrom 40 mm to 100 mm.


13/32

CASE STUDY -

DAILYs DL910 for Parking Management The DL910 is DAILY RFIDs new all-purpose ultra high frequency

parking control system, designed for parking areas.

RFID technology in the parking control systems can:a. Automatically gather and send vehicle information

b. Increase parking efficiency and security

c. Reduce parking cost

The RFID parking control kit contains:a. RFID tags in both adhesive and clipping formats

b. The DL910 RFID reader

c. Management software

The reader has a range up to 15 meters with multi-port interfaces

The DL910 authorizes cars moving in and out keeping a log ofentry and exit times

Offers hands-free access to gated parking areas

Allows manage vehicles more efficiently and safely


14/32

Today and Tomorrow of RFID

Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags willchange the way industry tracks, traces, andmanages assets.

RFID will have major impact onmanufacturing, retail, distribution,transportation, healthcare andpharmaceutical industries.

RFID will improve operations management,inventory control and production security.

NEXT GENERATION TECHNOLOGY

SOLVING INDUSTIRES PROBLEMS THROUGH LOGISTICS AND TECHNOLOGY


16/32

Limitations of RFID Technology

Item must be within range of sensor and withno interference (metal, liquid, walkie-talkies ornylon conveyors)

Sensors must be provided and locatedthroughout supply chain

Only communicates data programmed in the

chip and only those items that have passedthrough a location

Imperfect (Estimated that 20% of tags dontfunction properly)


17/32

What if you have industries in need of

more control?

More than just data, the ideal logistics solution

will enable communication and collaboration

A surgical team collaborating with a spinal

implant company monitoring that a safe

temperature is maintained during transit, and

enabling the OR to be prepped just ahead of the

implant's arrival.

A pharmaceutical company collaborating with both upstream and

downstream supply-chain partners monitoring millions of dollars of

active ingredients to their manufacturing plant, then monitoring secure

and temperature-sensitive transport from plant to wholesalers to clinics.

A clinical trial administrator collaborating with a biotechcompany and a

regulatory agency monitoring the transport of blood and other light-

sensitive compounds, with precise recordkeeping for documenting

custodial control.

ETHICAL AND LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

We can track anything but should we?

25/32

Privacy Problems

The most important legal aspect of usingRFID technology relates to the infringementof individual privacy rights. RFID systemshave the potential to track individuals in anunprecedented manner.

The reader can read tags covertly without theconsumers knowledge which is undesirable.

If tags are placed on bags, clothing, cosmeticproducts, or any single retail item for thatmatter, information about the item can be

linked to the purchaser to provide a morecomplete consumer profile.

Also, the consumers whereabouts can betracked

Howwould

you feel

ifyou were

followedeverywhere?


26/32

Illicit Use of RFID Information

RFID Tags are world-readable and pose a risk toboth personal location privacy andcorporate/military security.

Reader of tag can have access to the Customerscredit card details and make use of it without theowners knowledge

Important and confidential documents locations

can be known Cloning and counterfeiting of the RFID tags can

cause a lot of risk and problems.


27/32

Improper use in Medical and

Pharmaceutical industry

RFID tags can be used to track "sensitive-type"

items such as customers pharmaceutical

products and personal medical data without

proper consent.

Insurance companies may refuse providing

insurance coverage for patients after having

seen the patients records


28/32

Benefits of Using Technology Tracking

in Logistics

Helps retailers provide the rightproduct at the right place at theright time.

Increases visibility throughoutthe supply chain.

Improves efficiency, cut costs,delivers better asset utilization.

Reduces shrinkage andcounterfeiting.

Increases sales by reducing outof stock.


29/32

Principles of Fair Information Practice

Since, RFID technology not only has the ability to trackproducts and persons, but also collect individualinformation, the Federal Trade Commissions has laidsome Fair Information Practice Principles

Notice and awareness of collection of information.

Choice and consent of how this information can beused.

Access to the individuals gathered information and theability to contest the accuracy of the collected data.

Integrity and security of the collected data.

Enforcement of the aforementioned principles.


30/32

Summary and Conclusion

RFID can be used on a large-scale with the concept of Letthe buyer beware

RFID technology and its implementation must be guided by

strong principles of fair information practices

There should be no secret databases and Tags must betransparent to all parties

If used legally and properly, RFID Technology can be thenext biggest emerging technology that will be widelyaccepted and used.
