Technology transforms business processes in a way that allows the most effective use of human resources. In particular, RFID technology is typically applied for tasks with narrow specialization and intelligence. Therefore, all monotonous and trivial tasks can be ‘outsourced’ to RFID.
Radio Frequency Identification or RFID – is a technology for automatic input of data, and its direct, noncontact and fast reading. RFID system consists of a small radio-tag and a reader (Data Capture Terminal), allowing to work from a distance and beyond the line of sight.
Integrated microchip of an RFID tag stores data about an object on which it is being placed and subsequently read infinite amount of times. Furthermore, such tags can be applied to single units, as well as groups of products, components, package s, pallets and any other objects. In addition, the speed of RFID reading can reach to 1000 tags per 1 second, thus allowing to simultaneously read a big amount of tags on the go.
Electronic Product Code, world organization, together with research laboratories and manufacturers have developed and confirmed two main RFID standards:
- Standard ISO 15693 (13,56 MHz) – is frequently used for the development of automatic access control systems, as it is virtually impossible to forge an RFID tag.
- Standard ISO 18000 (860 MHz) – is the most advanced technology, due to high reading speed, as well as long ‘reading’ distance from 1 to 7 meters beyond the sight of the reading device. Moreover, tags with inbuilt power supply can be read from a distance of up to 30 meters.
RIFD Solutions and Applications from SystemGroup
SystemGroup is one of the first companies that started developing and implementing RFID solutions for the Eastern European market. Being an official partner and distributor of Motorola (Symbol Technologies), Matrics and Alien Technologies, SystemGroup offers the most innovative RFID solutions for the following applications:
- Supply Chain Management
- Express package deliveries and usual post
- Apparel stores
- Libraries and rental centers
- Luggage control, as we as luggage search
- Access Control Systems
- Automatic ticket control systems
- Package marking
In all of these spheres RFID technology is used for automatic identification and tracing of products.
Main advantages of RFID systems:
- No need for direct contact and direct visibility – RFID tags can be read through the packaging, painting, wood, plastics, carton etc.
- Allows simultaneous reading of big amounts of tags
- Unlimited operating life of RFID tags
- Fast and precise reading of RFID tags
- RFID tags can store large amounts of data about a product; moreover, this data can be repeatedly changed
