Rfid Solution

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification )

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) refers to a wireless system comprised of two components: tags and readers. The reader is a device that has one or more antennas that emit radio waves and receive signals back from the RFID tag. Tags, which use radio waves to communicate their identity and other information to nearby readers, can be passive or active. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses  elctromagmentic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. An RFID system consists of a tiny radio transponder, a radio receiver and transmitter. When triggered by an electromagnetic interrogation pulse from a nearby RFID reader device, the tag transmits digital data, usually an identifying inventory number back to the reader.

RFID technologies include the following applications:

  • ACCESS MANAGEMENT
  • PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
  • ASSET TRACKING AND TRACIBILITY
  • LIBRARY AUTOMATION
  • WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT
  • ANIMAL TRACKING

ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a prominent technology for a wide array of applications, from inventory tracking to payment processing. When it comes to security, RFID door lock systems are very common for access control, as they provide a reliable, consistent experience with track able data. Unlike other forms of traditional access control such as swipe cards, RFID locking systems are contactless, meaning that the credential doesn’t have to touch the reader for it to work. Similar to a barcode reader, RFID readers work by sending and receiving data, but instead of having to scan a code, the data is transmitted over radio frequencies. An RFID door locking system requires RFID tags, antennas, an RFID reader, and a transceiver in order to function as a complete system. In an RFID door lock access control system, the user’s credential (usually a keycard with an RFID chip) contains unique identifying information called a tag. When the user comes within proximity of a reader, the reader’s signal locates the information stored on the user’s RFID tag, and sends it through antennas and transceivers to authorize the tag in the access control system. Once read, the system will either accept or deny the request to unlock the door. Data from an RFID-enabled system is automatically stored, making it possible to track entry activity in an access control

PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an identification technique which has several advantages compared to traditional barcodes. One of these advantages is that RFID doesn’t require a line of sight between the reader and tag which is being read. This makes it possible to embed tag inside identifiable product, where it can remain during products life-cycle without bothering the end user. There are RFID tags using several different frequency ranges and they behave quite differently while embedded into different materials.

ASSET TRACKING AND TRACIBILITY

  • Managing and locating important assets is a key challenge for too expensive delays or down time, missed deadlines to almost any business. Time spent searching for critical equipment can lead miscommitments, and wasted labor.
  • Companies have traditionally addressed this problem by managing assets using serial numbers and spreadsheets, or tracking equipment with barcode labels. However, both of these methods require a significant amount of manual labor. One way to quickly improve asset management is by utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to automatically track those assets.
  • An RFID asset tracking system uses electromagnetic fields to transmit data from an RFID tag to a reader. Whether you are talking about office equipment in a multi-story building, wheelchairs and IV pumps in a large hospital, tools and equipment in a factory or pumping equipment in far-flung oil fields, RFID can provide accurate, real-time tracking data for fixed and mobile assets.

LIBRARY AUTOMATION

  • The RFID system automates the process of issue/return of the books and keeps record of transactions on a real-time basis. The system also helps in keeping accurate circulation /inventory reports.
  • RFID systems are easy to set-up and modular in nature to purchase in phases. Genuine return on investment in terms of getting complete automation of the Library processes leading to “Efficient Library” scenario.

WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT

  • Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been in existence for many decades but it is only recently that RFID is being increasingly used to its full potential. RFID or radio frequency identification is a system that transmits identity in the form of a unique serial number of a product wirelessly. RFID, a type of Auto-ID technology is used to reduce time and labor and improve real time data accuracy.
  • Warehouse operations like planning and control of warehouse facilities and systems has become more complex in supply chain. Warehousing is often needed to perform routine logistics operations such as stock storage, order status, paper processes, sorting, cycle counts, loading/unloading and customer service. Poor utilization of costly warehouse space, manual errors, wrong identification of the product during receipt & dispatch, locating items in warehouse will impact the productivity & profitability which results in organization’s reputation & losses.

RFID in conjunction with a WMS is an excellent real-time business tool that helps better manage supply chains, covers goods entry, picking, checking, delivery and many other operation flows & increases profit, and decreases the cost by improving visibility into Warehouse management system.

ANIMAL TRACKING

  • The task of tracking and managing animals for food products becomes more critical and increasingly challenging. Animals may be transported over long distances, often mingling with livestock from different locations. Farm and zoo animals, as well as household pets are all potential carriers of threatening diseases.
  • RFID technology  help in managing farm animals with ear-tags in low frequency or UHF, glass tags or boluses. Our innovative products are standards and regulatory compliant and are fully interoperable with other standardized Animal ID components and systems.
