Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is changing the way of inventory tracking
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is changing the way businesses track inventory and assets. From Tesco and Wal-Mart to even the US Department of Defense, some efforts already show fruitful benefits. However integration, software and data processing for RFID still surface as the challenge.
Most of the people were talked-about components or parts of an RFID system are the tag, which is the identification device attached to the item we want to track, and the reader, which is a device that can recognize the presence of RFID tags and read the information stored on them. The reader can then tell another system about the presence of the tagged items. The system with which the reader communicates usually runs software that stands between the readers and applications. This software itself is called RFID middleware.
Wal-Mart is one of the pioneers recommended their top100 suppliers providing RFID tag tracking by early 2005 on pallets shipped ship to its stores. Meanwhile, the biggest news in RFID may surround the initiatives aimed at reducing counterfeiting and improving efficiency and safety in the distribution of pharmaceuticals. Since then, may more RFID initiatives have been launched and apply RFID to the industries.
If you are a developer or an software programmer with developing an RFID system, you will need to know some areas that need to look after and focus on, Let me list out those critical items for a successful RFID implementation project for reference.
1) What kind of Tag and Tag protocols? including the Electronic Product Code (EPC)
2) Match Readers and reader protocols?
3) RFID middleware
4) Security and privacy control system
5) How to manage RFID devices?
6) RFID’s impact on your architecture
