  1. Abstract Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an emerging technology, which promises to advance the modern industrial practices in object identification and tracking, asset management and inventory control. This technology is being evaluated and implemented successfully in many manufacturing and distribution environments, retail stores and defense installations. The scope of RFID is rapidly shifting from tracking objects (present or absent) to monitoring the condition (where and how) of engineering systems. The integration of sensors with RF tags (Smart Sensors) enables RFID technology to gather and process sensor data in addition to identifying and tracking the object. The deeper ramification of such RFID systems for monitoring manufacturing systems remains largely unexplored and untapped. The focus of the presentation will be to present the results of our in-depth review of the current and emerging technologies and applications based on RFID and Smart sensors for depot support and logistics environments and for machine condition monitoring.

  2. Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) • Radio-Frequency identification (RFID) is generic term for technologies which use RF waves to identify, track or categorize any object • RFID is fast, reliable, and does not require physical sight or contact between reader and the tagged object

  3. RFID System Components • Tags (Transponders) Attached to the object to be identified, stores information (unique code) about object and sends this information back to reader when receives appropriate frequency signals • Reader/Interrogator Reader sends signals of appropriate frequency and facilitates data transfer • Antenna Antenna radiates the RF signal to, and receives signal from the transponder • Interface Thisunit interfaces the reader to an intelligent device / controller • Host/Controller (PC/Laptop) Computer with suitable software controls RFID readers

  4. How system works? • Controller activates RFID reader to send RF signals • Reader sends the signal of appropriate frequency (LF,HF,UHF,MW) • Tag receives and modifies the signal • Tag sends modified signals back through tag antenna • Reader antenna receives the modified signal and reader decodes it • Controller analyzes the results

  5. RFID and Smart Sensors • Sensors can be integrated with RF tags (Smart Sensors) and sensor data can be communicated using RF waves • This enables RFID systems to gather and process sensor data in addition to identifying and tracking object • Applications: Machine Health Monitoring, Fluid Composition Detection.
