jake Business Scenario of Inventory Control System

patrick models, the RTE process itself, and how easy it is to add another "feature" (e.g. inventoryshrinkage report, etc.) to the application.

The Inventory Section

Initial Class Diagram for Account Section

The code for ObjUser is generated as below

The following code were then added to the ObjCode Class

jake Business Scenario of implementing RFID (everyone is using it; almost become standard, etc.)

RFID Overview Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID is simply an enhanced barcode that can be read from a distance. Passive RFID most used is 915Mhz frequency range. The Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Albertsons, and the Department of Defense are examples of users of this most basic form of RFID technology.

RFID Overview The current standards are: Class 0 (read only) Class 1 (read-write) Class 0+ (Matrics) Generation II

RFID Process flash

RFID in Distribution Center The advantage of RFID: It is always looking for RFID tags. It watches for tags to move through a dock door and report the information about the product movement. RFID helps ensure an accurate product shipment count.

Accuracy Count As cartons are being palletized, a pallet tag is created. RFID reader scans pallet tag for a list of carton tags. As each carton move through the dock door, RFID scan the carton tag and compare it with the list. It shows “green” light if the carton is on the list, or “red” light if it’s not.

Impact on Business Operations Safety and security Mobile asset management Complex process simplification

Safety and Security Reduction or elimination of theft Tracked and traced Applied to important, sensitive or valuable documents Human security

Mobile Asset Management Millions of dollars invested in mobile/moveable assets Thousands of mobile assets moving through daily

Complex Process Simplification Lengthy "chain of custody” Updated with history every step in the process Greatly simplify the process.

Security in RFID systems Forgery of tags Unwanted tracking of customers Unauthorized access to the tag’s memory Solution: Authentication

Security Authentication A communication system providing authentication can reject access to non authorized parties. Security gates can query the ILS (Intelligent Library System) to determine its security status Tag may contain a security bit which would be turned on and off by circulation or self-check reader stations.

Passive RFID Tags “Traditional” tags –Tag = antenna(detect signal) + chip(store data) –programmed at manufacture / on installation –powered by the high power electromagnetic field generated by the antennas –chip/antenna reflect back an extremely weak signal containing the data –Collision Detection – recognition of multiple tags in the read range to read individual tags If manufactured in billions, tags will come down in price from $0.80 to $0.05 in the next 2 years.

Active Tags Battery Powered tags –Have much greater range – 100m –Hold much more information – Kbytes –Can integrate sensing technology Temperature, GPS –Can signal at defined time –Multiple tags can be recorded at once Used for higher value items –Electronic Cost between $20 and $40 per item Life between 2 – 4 years

RFID Handheld Reader read and write to tags & smart labels provides an easy migration path from bar codes to RFID tags available with a variety of interfaces for simple connection to any host cost-effective product ($ 500) lightweight and durable great look and feel for healthcare & commercial applications

RFID Reader + Antenna Extended read range High data rates Large number of tags reading High sensitivity Software configurable to read/write tags Circular/linear Polarized Antenna Price: $ 3399

Multi-Protocol Printer/Encoders for RFID Tags 4-inch Bar code label printing Flexibility in tag placement Statistics tracking of number of goods Eliminates costs Price: $ 4995
