What is RFID? • RFID stands for radio frequency identification. • It uses a combination of radio frequency technology with mini computer chips to identify items.
Some RFID Devices • Some as small as the button on your shirt.
What is EPC? • EPC stands for electronic product code. • EPC is similar to the well know UPC bar codes in products in stores etc. • It can be inserted in products of size ranging from from tiny pens to Cargo planes.
Uses of RFID • Some governments are planning on using the RFID for different purpose. • - European Union planning on embedding an RFID in each of their currency in the next few years. • Some government might use it in Identification cards etc.
EPC AND RFID • Many RFID manufacturer use the EPC in RFID. • Meaning every RFID consist of an EPC (Electronic product code).
How RFID WORKS • RFID communicates with a reader device, which picks up a signal from a specific EPC and translates that signal to a computer that translates it to a language we understand.
Pros (Pt. 1) • Convenient • No line of sight, short range • Cheap • Last for long • Billions of unique tags (96-bit codes) • Inventory • Closed loop • Improve checkout • Record keeping (time, place) • Make sure an item goes through all stages, and keep records
Pros (Pt. 2) • Add-On Security • Sensors (detection of bumps, change in temperature in sensitive contents, etc.) • Tamper-protection switches (improved security) • Memory (aid in record-keeping) • With improving technology, soon privacy concerns could be easily addressed
