2 Evolution of RFID Technology Attention to Auto Identification in Ubiquitous Network Ubiquitous : for anyone, anytime and from anywhere Networked service for Product information and Location Technology Evolution Accelerate New Applications -Ticket authentication -Value chain management (SCM, Manufacturing, Construction.) New problems Cost, Reliability, Quality, Operability 1

3 μ-chip for item tagging with u-code *μ-chip 1. Chip Size World smallest RFID chip 0.4 mm x 0.4mm x 0.1mm GHz ISM band 3. Security Read only memory (ROM) approx. 50mm 128 bits unique ID (u-code) written during production 4. Passive Transponder No power source to maintain the chip (battery-less) Reading distance: approx cm with anti-collision 5. Simplicity Complex functionality enabled through back office system and networked database (No application data) *(Originally developed for Counterfeit Prevention of Money in 1997) 2

14 Conventional (Barcode) Smart Library System (Library Stocktaking) (Library Stocktaking) 2. Easy and simple quick checking for collection of books Pulling out each book and read the barcode one by one Transaction : 1,000 / hour (reference) Barcode reader Only scanning μ-chip embedded in the book cover by reader Using RFID μ-chip Low cost & invisible Transaction : 30,000 / hour μ-chip tag 00E8XX μ-chip reader Transfer / authentication *Checking huge number of books and materials without closing the library *In the case of one public library in Japan it improved the stocktaking by checking the collection of books of each cabinet day by day 13

15 RFID Application for Factory Automation Issues to be solved: - Error rate (up to 5%) of conventional Bar-code - Bar-code cannot be read after painting process Difficulties in 13.56MHz, UHF band RFID implementation due to the narrow tag spacing and interference between readers Entry & linking of μ-id and NC Process information DB associates each material with the μ-id and its corresponding NC process data μ-id μ-id NC Data DB NC Process Data μ-id Inspection Order Attaching μ-chip tag & ID read ID read & Access to NC data NC machine process Painting process Inspection Stage - - -Full Automation- - - Material Wood 14

16 Practical application in Power Indu - Testing for Terminal connection - Newly developed U-shaped antenna Confirmation of terminal wiring by unique ID code matching each other For Construction and Maintenance in case of huge number of wiring 15

28 Essentials for RFID Revolution To the next step : - Common understandings for Public acceptance - Feasibility Test to show the clear Benefit for both Industry users and Consumers - Innovative Technology Development by Government, Industry and Academia Three major categories of RFIDs Nice to have RFID Cost reduction in SCM Brand protection Must to have RFID Quality control Traceability Hugh potential market Shadow cost Safety & Security Reliability Public expectation 27

29 Issue for Open SCM Business Use Beneficiary may not always be the Cost payer No Direct Benefit by tagging Negative Mismatch! Clear Benefit on SCM Happy & Positive Material Supplier Tagging Cost Processing System cost & Operation Cost Warehouse Distributor Beneficiary == Cost Payer Who is the Decision Maker? Mechanism for cost-sharing Operation Improvement & Cost Reduction Retailer sharing and balance the costs & benefits 28

30 Summary Mechanism for cost-sharing sharing and balance the cost & benefit is the key for open SCM industry users Essential part of RFID application is to add value to the existing solution based on users requirement, especially Traceability, Security and Safety aspect 29
