  2. outline • RFID Systems • Low Cost RFID • Software • Applications • Field Trial • Research opportunities • Conclusions

  3. Line-of-sight One-at-a-time Manual handling Limited range Limited data Non-line-of-sight 100(s) at a time Automatic handling ~1 meter 50 bits -Kbits What’s wrong with bar-codes?

  4. Radio frequency identification systems (RFID)

  5. network with rf tags? yes.

  6. RFID-Handbook "Radio-Frequency Identification: Fundamentals and Applications " 1st edition, Wiley and Sons Ltd. ISBN 0-471-98851-0) RFID Example

  7. example rfid applications • Supply chain • Asset tracking, reduce out of stocks, reduce inventory, reduce bull-whip effect, speed up delivery, check freshness, track and trace, produce to demand, identify sources of diversion, identify counterfeiting, theft prediction, faster recalls • Consumer applications • Direct order from home, smart appliances, (e.g. microwave, washing machine, refrigerator), smart healthcare, assisted living • New and less expected applications • Customized products, smart recycling, checkout-less stores

  8. 4 why low cost?

  9. outline • RFID Systems • Low Cost RFID • Software • Applications • Field Trial • Research opportunities • Conclusions

  10. handling cost die size/cost, cents low cost rfid Silicon: 4c/mm2 20 15 10 5 time

  11. reduce functionality (Networking & software) reduce chip size (handle small chips) why is rfid expensive today? greater functionality increased chip size

  12. Cheap protocol
