RFID -- Methodology
Storing a unique data on a microchip that is attached to an antenna Chip and antenna called as RFID tag Antenna enables the chip to transmit the data to reader Reader converts the radio waves reflected back from RFID tag into digital data that can then be processed by computer.
Can not scan if label is ripped or soiled Can read with in a range Can identify manufacturer, product and Unique item Data combination is not configurable Tags use microchips (2KB data) Data combination is not limited and configurable

better on objects made of metal can work around goods with high water content range of 1 meter. faster than LF and HF tags Use more power and are less likely to pass through materials require clear path between the tag and reader. better for scanning boxes of goods range up to 3 to 7 meters with active tags the reading range could be up to100 meters.
Passive tags
o have no battery, but draw power from the reader to transmit.
Semi-Passive tags
o has power source to run the chips circuit o but communicate to reader by drawing power from the reader.
RFID Readers
It is a host device attached with the computer, which communicates with the RFID tags and receives data
Active Reader
can read tags operating different frequencies using different methods of communication between tags and readers.
Intelligent Reader
can run different protocols to filter data and to even run applications.
Dump Reader
simple device that might read only one type of tag uses one frequency and one protocol.
International standards have been adopted for some specific applications, such as
tracking animals for smart cards, which require encryption to keep data secure.
RFID Standards
for tracking goods in the supply chain using HF tags (ISO 18000-3) and UHF tags (ISO 18000-6)
EPC global
set up to commercialize Electronic Product Code technologies has its own standard process, which was used to create bar code standards. it intends to submit EPC protocols to ISO so they can become international standards.
Depending on the volume a 96-bit EPC, passive, RO tag cost from 20 to 40 cents.
Cost Depends on
on the application size of the installation type of system and many other factors
