RFID/RTLS/GPS Capabilities
17
Technology Primer
RFID
RTLS
GPS
Radio Frequency Identification

Sense presence of object near antenna
Real Time Locating Systems

Triangulate tag location with several antennas
Global Positioning System

Tag on object broadcasts its location
18
What is RFID?
Chip holds memory
that stores identifier
Antenna receives power and

analog signal from reader
Middleware collects
observations & drives readers
Implements
wireless protocol
Converts radio signal to and

from analog electrical signals
Forwards events to database

tier for distribution
RFID Tag contains chip,

power source & antenna
Sends back identifier

upon power up
Reader communicates
with tags in range to
read all identifiers and
memory (payload)
Application
receives transient
messages & reacts
immediately
Event Queue, often implemented as transient queue

At most basic level, Database serves as a better bus
Data archiving and aggregation performed in
application-neutral level
RFID is a technology for tagging physical items with a unique ID that can be easily and noninvasively read -- a wireless bar code. The ID can then be associated with a system
representation of the object that contains all associated item records (e.g., contents, state)

Electronic Product Code (EPC)

Analogous to GTIN or UPC
Identifier assigned
by UCC.EAN for
your company,
organization, or plant.
Identifies the product.

Analogous to Item Manager
for GTINs. Manufacturer
controls this assignment.
Uniquely identifies each

package (e.g., a box of
cereal). Manufacturer
controls this assignment.
Container EPCs can be associated with an Item

Actual formats may differ (e.g. EPC vs. DoD)
Requires flexible enablement in Item Master (PLM) system

Business Benefits
Increase Supply Chain Visibility
A retailer can reduce out of stock situations by RFID
enabling their store shelves
Minimize Costs
RFID can pinpoint exactly where a manufacturing process
broke down and can minimize the amount of product
pulled back for a recall
Increase Differentiation and gain Competitive Advantage

Manufacturers can quickly incorporate RFID to respond to
retail mandates
Increase Productivity
Maximize Return on Assets

A hospital can track expensive assets (medical equipment,
wheelchair, etc.) at any point in time, anywhere in a
hospital
Prevent Theft, Fraud, and Counterfeiting

In the pharmaceuticals industry, RFID can eliminate
counterfeit products with ID for each bottle to reduce
losses of 2-7% of profits
Reduce Risk and Liability

The cattle industry can minimize their risk associated to
health outbreaks related to meat by using RFID to track
their livestock
RFID allows for the elimination of manual barcode scanning

for inventory tracking
