2. Agenda RFID Technology Introduction RFID Technical Application RFID Solutions in Construction

3. What is RFID? RFID stands for Radio Frequency IDentification

4. How RFID works

5. RFID Technical Applications FrequencyFeatureApplication Low Frequency (ranging 100-500 KHz) Read range: Short to Medium distance Cost: Low Read Speed: Slow Access control system Animal identification Stock control Vehicle Smart key chip High Frequency (ranging 10-15 MHz) Read range: Short to Medium distance Cost: Low Read Speed: Average Ultra-high Frequency (ranging 850-950 MHz) Microwave (ranging 2.4-5.8 GHz) Read range: Long distance Requirement: applicable only on straight line distance Read Speed: Fast

6. Core Technology Non physical contact Mass scale reading Interactive Tiny to be attached (Contains unique ID) Animal chip, vehicle smart key chip, access control, car park control, production line automation, logistic & merchandise management RFID’s Pros

7. 7 How can we make use of RFID in construction sites? Why was RFID being thought of

8. RFID Construction Site Applications KTE 1002 Whampoa Station – Confined and Congested Areas Host (RFID Reader) Antenna(s) Transponder(s)

9. RFID Workers Protection System - Real time Audible and visual alarm to protect the construction workers from being hit by the vehicle. - System can be installed in various environment. - Easy reader installation on the construction vehicle (plug and play). - RFID Tag is placed on the helmet.

11.  Avoid machine-man clashes  Confined space access control  Underground workforce location tracking  Materials inventory control and location identification Use of RFID in Construction Site

12.  Tower crane load location identification  Tower crane safe zone system Use of RFID in Construction Site

13. Cost VS Accident 1.Occurrence rate 2.Casualties – cost of life 3.Site shutdown 4.Increases insurance cost 5.Reduces chances of tender award Conclusion: Accident avoidance can well cover the cost! Cost of RFID System
