Introduction • RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) • RFID middleware • Problems to solve 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳
RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) • Consists of reader and tag • wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of identifying and tracking tags attached to objects • Used in many industries, such as transportation, health care, education 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳
RFID middleware • It coordinates RFID readers, process the vast amount of captured data. • It handles the communication between readers and application software. 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳
Problems • Most of the current existing RFID middleware are sophisticated and expensive > Simplify in structure and reduce in scale to suit manufacturing scenarios • It needs to be more agile and responsive to the modern changing market > Design it to be flexible, modularized, rather than full-featured and sophisticated 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳

Gateway Operation manager manage gateway operation system • provide user interface forthe configurations of gateway and connected devices • contains several built-in applications • allows user to add other new application 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳
Device management tool provides a set of interfaces to configure the connected RFID/Auto-ID devices 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳
Device management tool • devices are able to be detected automatically and managed • allows user to check all information about each connected device • provide device diagnosis functions 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳
Workflow management implement manufacturing processes and its corresponding data • basic component : activities , business logic , smart agents • setup by load existing workflow descriptions in XML 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳
Reader service control access RFID readers directly at some situations • web service mode : implemented and published for back-end applications, which include tag reading and writing • messaging mode: domain applications interact with smart agents through AIS to exchange information between applications and software agents 100062214 王怡儒/100062372 簡均容/100034048 王品淳
