Outline – Overview • Introduction - What is RFID ? • Radio frequency spectrum • How does RFID work ? • Technical contraints
What is RFID ? • Radio Frequency Identification • Automatic Identification procedure • Barcodes • Optical Character Recognition • Fingerprinting procedure • Data transmitted via radio frequency • Use of tags to identify objects • ID • Memory on board • Read / Read + Write • Applications examples… (EAS, Animal ID,…)
ELF SLF ULF VLF radio frequency LF (125kHz) infrared MF electromagnetic spectrum optical spectrum VHF ultraviolet UHF (900MHz) X-ray SHF (2,4GHz - microwave) Gamma ray EHF Radio frequency spectrum • Industry Science Medical (ISM) • Low frequencies HF (13,56MHz - ISM)
What does RFID look like ? • Mainly 2 components • Readers • Transponders (tags) Here are some readers......
Components of an RFID system • Tag • Passive, active and semi-passive • Readers
Transceiver Tag Reader antenna Communication • Inductive coupling • Transformer type IC or microprocessor RFID Tag antenna
Transceiver Tag Reader antenna Communication • Propagation coupling IC or microprocessor RFID Tag antenna
Limitations • Collision • Tag orientation • Viruses
RFID APPLICATIONS • Access control • Identifying & monitoring object • RFID & GSM integration
ACCESS CONTROL • Online systems • Offline systems • RFID technology used in the public transportation • Vehicle theft prevention
IDENTIFYING & MONITORING OBJECT • Animals or humans • Industry • RFID taking out the trash • Inventory maintenance
RFID & GSM INTEGRATION • Transponder or reader within smart phones • Connection to GSM or other wireless network • Information stored in wireless network central database
Outline – Overview • Introduction • Legal&Ethical aspects in: • USA • EUROPE • Summary
Introduction • Transmission (authorized or unauthorized) of personal data • If unauthorized, it can be considered as a breach of personal privacy • Personal privacy is punishable • What’s Personal privacy?
USA • Use in this country is really huge and in advance compared to other countries or nations • What is Personal Privacy in American Law? • Not so concerned as European authorities with the use of RFID and the Personal Privacy linked to it. • NO federal law about this notion! • Citizens Group intervening: CASPIAN
EUROPE 1 • Late about RFID technology but in advance over the USA for protecting laws • European citizens know RFID: a part of them believe in laws and others do not! 1 SOURCE : Forester Research (report published in March 2004 )
EUROPE • The concept of privacy is very important in the EU • What is Personal Privacy in European Laws? • There is a really good protection of the European citizens for Private Life’s problems • The European Commission is studying the RFID case • A European Directive about Personal Privacy protects people • Another text, more complete, will be created in the course of 2006
Future in Europe « From RFID to the Internet of things » • March
RFID implementation process • Introduction • Findings • Summary
Introduction • The research subject • Implementation process • The research aims • RFID interest • Implementation reasons • Advantages and challenges • Ethical and legal aspects • Market conductiveness Zmienic!!!!!!!!
Introduction • The research methods • desk research • field research – the questionnaire • The research details • 6 companies (3 countries) • 2 small, 2 medium and 2 big • Focus-logistics • Generalization difficulties
Findings • RFID benefits • RFID challenges • ROI • Launching time • Company’s reengineering • Ethical and legal aspects
Return on Investment Expected ROI level >20% 11-20% 6-10% 1-5% Company size Small Medium Big
Summary • Interestin RFID • Different implementation stages • Similar challenges • Similar benefits • Focus on the customers and business partners needs • Slight ethical and legal aspects
