RFID - Introduction RFID is coming out as a major emerging technology for identifying and tracking goods and assets around the

world. It can help hospitals locate equipment quickly to improve patient care, pharmacies to reduce copying, and logistics providers to improve the management of movable assets. RFID promises to create new inefficiencies in the supply chain. It will track goods from the point of manufacture through retail POS.

RFIT had to begin somewhere. The first disturbing fact is that RFID is NOT a new technology. It was first used over sixty years ago by Britain to identify aircraft in World War II and a part of the refinement of radar. It was

    Rfid Tagging Paper

    The FDA already requires medical device companies to be able to identify each of the units it produces and distributes by a serial number. These medical device companies need better control of the implants on a consignment basis with hospitals, since returns can occur more than 50 percent of the time. With the new RFID technology that improvement in visibility into returns could possibly enable personnel to quickly and more efficiently locate a crucial piece of equipment and immediately determine its capabilities for use. In the event that a catastrophic error should arise, they would be completely traceable from the manufacturer to the consumer, and the preventative maintenance on equipment could be more accurately tracked. With the RFID tags with read/write capabilities can be used to detect seal integrity for the containers and individual packages. The tag would be able to record the time and duration of the seal loss, allowing even problems that occur in mid-shipment to be detected. For example, since Hospitals currently have to track the radioactive isotopes throughout the facility from storage to transport and from the administration to disposal. These RFID tags and readers would be able to automate these tasks. (Reiner & Sullivan,…

    For example, Wal-Mart, the largest retailer has declared it would place item-level RFID tracking tags in the clothing sold in its store. Imagine people wearing those clothes with tracking tags in them, going to places. Not only the retailer can determine the location of the individuals, hackers or crime doers can too. Although, it increases marketing success rate of a retailer, it also increases crime rate, putting individuals in danger. Imagine, future burglars could canvass alleys with RFID detectors, looking for RFID tags on discarded packaging that indicates expensive electronic gear is nearby.…

    RFID Chips

    • 15 Pages

    Radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips are small radio-frequency electromagnetic fields that can be used in a product, animal, and humans to track location, transfer data, and to identify the object. These chips are as small as a grain of rice and can store over 2,000 bytes of data. Some chips are powered by and read at short ranges via magnetic fields (electromagnetic induction). Certain chips use a local power source like a battery and some others that don’t use a local battery get the energy from interrogating electromagnetic fields and then act as a passive transponder to emit microwaves. RFID chips have been around for a very long time, but a lot of people don’t know what they are used for and what they are used in.…

    Rfid Tags

    Over time, the ways products have been tracked through the supply chain have changed just as technology is constantly progressing. Yet, there are still constraints to improve the methods of tracking and shipping due to the lack of technology in these fields. Bar codes have helped but still need human interference. Many companies are starting to turn to radio frequency identification tags. RFID tags can help companies with tracking and shipment of any product and reduce time to improve customer satisfaction. (Wolff, 2001) Companies such as IBM who are producing the tags have started to think of ideas to revolutionize this plan. The RFID tags can help track products as they enter and leave warehouses, and can speed up the shipping process. They can be put into different products and even use them in such ways as at the grocery store instead of having cashiers and cash registers. (Wolff, 2001) The superstore, JC Penney, is interested in taking advancements with the RFID tags. These tags are programmable and cannot get damaged like barcodes can. In the 21st century, we are constantly moving forward with such innovations. The RFID tags are currently in use by some companies already, and being modified by others for their particular needs. These tags could open doors for many new inventions and help us progress into a faster-moving and progressing world.…

    Case C1 Harley Davidson

    • 355 Words
    • 1 Page

    Radio frequency identification, which uses unpowered microchips to wirelessly transmit encoded information through antennae would provide Harley Davidson and its suppliers the technology needed to perform better supply-chain management. The RFID tags contain encoded information that identifies items at the case, pallet, or container level. The RFID tag is activated only when placed in the transmission field of an RFID reader. The information is transmitted automatically so no one needs to unpack or scan individual bar code labels, resulting in improved inventory accuracy with reduced labor costs. In order to use RFID, companies must purchase and apply RFID tags to their products at the pallet, case, or unit level. This can be done effectively using remote RFID printing technology, which allows suppliers to generate RFID tags and apply them to goods before they are shipped. The supplier using RFID tags and advance ship notifications, allows for scan-free receipt of goods by the customer and provides automatic tracking.…

    In the simplest terms, RFID is a technology that utilizes radio waves for communication between a transmitter and a receiver. In the case of RFID for business, the receiver is a reader/antenna and the transmitter is a tag. The tag is encoded with a unique identification number. This number is transmitted to the reader anytime the tag is queried. The unique ID number can then be referenced in a database for additional information regarding the tagged item.…
