Overview • Background • Introduction to RFID • Goals and Accomplishments • Project Overview • Professional Component • Results • Budget • Summary • Recommendations
Background • Blood Banks • Bar Code Scanning • Periodic Testing • Personnel • Errors due to infrequent verification • Inaccurate scanning procedures http://www.surgeryencyclopedia.com/images/gesu_01_img0033.jpg
Introduction to RFID • What is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)? • Passive, Active, Battery Assisted Passive • Why use RFID? • Remove necessity for human interaction • Accurate inventory management • Automate inventory and delivery process
Optimized Reader Settings Command Protocol <CR>031400<CR> Anti-Collision Algorithm Operation Frequency 902-928 KHz SkyeTek RFID Reader
Goals and Accomplishments • Automate blood tracking system • Inventory tracking • Status monitoring • Integrate stationary unit with mobile unit
Project Overview Computer Ethernet LabVIEW GUI Database TCP/IP RFID Reader Serial Antenna Blood Unit with RFID Tag Refrigerator
LabVIEW 8.0 • Simulates Database • Excel • Interface with reader • TCP/IP • Server & Client • Quality Tracking • Time stamping
Professional Component • Reliability • Information regarding location, type and quantity is accurate • FCC Regulations • FCC Part 15 Sect 247 • Health and Safety • If data is not stored accurately, could be dangerous
Results • Consistently reads unique RFID tag IDs • Monitors quality • Signal from critical alarm • User enabled sorts • Can transmit data via TCP/IP • Maintains blood bank database
Summary • Automated inventory tracking and status monitoring • Automated updates of inventory received from outside sources • Under budget • Compliant with all government regulations
Recommendations • Investigate alternative hardware • RFID reader • Computer with sufficient hardware
