2 RFID Based Event/Activity Management System

3 What is RFID Technology RFID is an abbreviation of Radio Frequency IDentification. RFID is an AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) Technology that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data between a reader and an electronic (RFID) tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking. RFID is Fast, Reliable, and does not require Physical Sight or Contact between reader/scanner and the tagged item (RFID Tag). RFID is widely used for Identification of men, material, vehicles, animals, products, baggage and books.

4 RFID Components RFID Tag A memory device, usually eeprom, programmed with a series of bits/bytes. Reader/Writer (Interrogator) The unit powers the coil of wire known as the antenna, filters and powers them for transmission over distance. Antenna This is a coil of wound copper wire designed specifically to emit RFID signal. Host computer / Interface / Middleware The unit interfaces the reader to an intelligent device.

5 How it works Tag enters RF Field RF signal powers tag Tag transmits ID, plus data Reader capture data Reader send data to computer Computer determines action

6 Why RFID Enable Automatic Identification & Data Collection (Contactless) No line of sight needed Able to write data on tag (RFID tags have high data capacity and can include manufacturer, batch no., ownership, destination, history etc.) Avoid Manipulation Avoid Error at data collection & Reduce Handling Mistakes (No human intervention) Can read multiple item Suitable for harsh environment Avoid missing data for Important decision

7 Difference Between RFID & Barcode Particulars RFID Barcode Read Rate High throughput. Multiple (>100) tags can be read Line of Sight Human Capital Read/Write Capability Read Range Identification Very low throughput. Tags can only be read manually, one at a simultaneously. time. Not required. Items can be oriented in any direction, as long Definitely required. Scanner must physically see each item as it is in the read range, and direct line of sight is never directly to scan, and items must be oriented in a very specific required. manner. Virtually none. Once up and running, the system is Large requirements. Laborers must scan each tag. completely automated. More than just reading. Ability to read, write, modify, and update. Passive RFID: - Up to 40 feet (fixed readers) - Up to 20 feet (handheld readers) Active RFID: - Up to 100's of feet or more Read only. Ability to read items and nothing else. Several inches up to several feet Can uniquely identify each item/asset tagged Can typically only identify the type of item (UPC Code) but not uniquely Technology RF (Radio Frequency) Optical (Laser) Physical Size Tags range in size from a postage stamp to a book. The aspect ratio of a Tag's length vs width is very flexible and not a significant factor for the Reader Reusable Yes No Bar codes are larger than the smallest tag and very sensitive to the aspect ratio for presentation to a scanner. The ratio of a bar code's length vs width is critical to its operation.

8 Frequency Range Frequency band Low (LF) < 135 KHz High (HF) MHz Ultra-high (UHF) MHz Microwave 2.45 GHz Characteristics Short to medium read range Inexpensive Low read speed Short to medium read range Potentially inexpensive Medium reading speed Long read range High reading speed Long read range High reading speed Typical applications Animal identification Access control Inventory control Access control Smart cards Assert tracking Till collection system Vehicle identification Car monitoring Real Time Location

9 Market Potential Global market for RFID including Tags, Systems and Services will be driven by demand and new laws to $24.50 billion in researched by: idtechex.com ($24.50 billion `1.35 Trillion) Agriculture Airports Animal, Asset & Vehicle Tracking Athletics Automobile Immobilisation Baggage Handling Banking/Finance Consulting Construction Corporate / Business Defence Design, Research and Development Government Healthcare including pharmaceuticals Hospitality Insurance Library Systems Manufacturing and Supply Chain Point-of-Sale Postal Departments Retail / Vending Security, Access Control and Anti-theft Systems Tag and reader manufacturers Technology Telecommunications Toll Collection Transportation Travel / Leisure Utilities Warehousing.

10 Seminar / Conference Management Uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and/or Barcode Technology. Consists of a reader, antenna and label. Reader powers the label trough antenna Software checks the id with the database Software records and reports all the movements.

11 How does it work? Antennas at the gate recognized the entry event Visitors enter or exit events are all recorded. Easy management with Web Based software architecture. Antennas are easily hided with panels.

12 Works with social networks very easily.

13 Take photos with the same card

14 Purchase goods with the same RFID card

15 Value Added Services All the presentation or advertorial documents could be easily send to the address that is taken at the registration desk with the RFID card hold to the antenna. Data exchange to Company Advertorial Visitor Info Data exchange to

16 With RFID Technologies Share the event on social network. Take photos and send to or share in social networks. Purchase goods with a pre paid debit. Get the presentations sent to the by simply holding the card. Get reports about every movements.
