RFID and Wine Wine th Sept The Auto-ID Laboratories

RFID and Wine Wine th Sept Auto-ID Labs One of 7 Auto-ID Labs around the world MIT, USA Cambridge, UK Adelaide, Australia Keio, Japan Fudan, China St Gallen, Switzerland ICU, Korea

RFID and Wine Wine th Sept Research Projects The design of cost effective and small footprint tag antennas, suitable for attachment onto metal surfaces. Interference studies in high density reader environments. Electromagnetic propagation studies applicable to European Regulations High security authentication tags Dual frequency tags, ones that employ UHF techniques for supply chain applications and then HF for item management applications. Passive RFID chip design (modules for implementation) Analysis and measurement of new forms of reader to tag signalling

RFID and Wine Wine th Sept What is RFID? Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag consists of…… An Antenna, and An Integrated Circuit

RFID and Wine Wine th Sept An RFID Chip (Integrated Circuit)

RFID and Wine Wine th Sept An RFID Tag Antenna Enables the chip to receive and respond to radio- frequency queries from an RFID transceiver.

RFID and Wine Wine th Sept RFID Readers

RFID and Wine Wine th Sept Host CPU Application Do something with the tag information Potential to generate massive amounts of data Once installed it costs virtually NOTHING to read a tag! Real time data => real time decisions 0HIO (Zero Human Involvement Operations)* * Term defined by John Greaves, CHEP International
