The use of RFID Chips in humans 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

RFID TAGS Introduction 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

RFID in Walmart Submitted By: Kritika Goyal (22) & Molshri Bhati (61) INTRODUCTION: In June 2003 Wal-Mart first announced its plan to implement RFID technology in its supply chain by January 2005; this caught many of the suppliers unawares. Though the plans envisaged compliance from the top 100 suppliers‚ around 129 suppliers jumped into the fray‚ afraid of being left behind in the race. RFID technology was invented in 1969 and patented in 1973; after thirty long years WalMart has demanded

Louis Wayne RFID Summary On the articles previously reviewed we found the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology being widely used in many economic sectors. It goes from the sole purpose of being used on manufacture environment‚ up to medical and military uses. On the first reading assigned by the professor‚ we found what are the applications of the RFID and where it comes from and where it’s heading. It tells us which are the three main components (RFID tag‚ reader and processor)

The second part of this paper discusses RFID implementation in the SAP world‚ SAP AII architecture and advantages of using SAP AII instead of third party middleware. An RFID system consists of RFID tags‚ which are attached to products‚ cases‚ pallets or assets: RFID reader‚ antennae‚ sensors‚ actuators‚ annunciators‚ transmitters‚ and controllers. The system will additionally require middleware software to filter and smooth RFID data and

mid-October‚ Wal-Mart announced that a University of Arkansas study showed the use of RFID to track cases of products in Wal-Mart stores led to a 16 percent reduction of out-of-stock products and faster shelf replenishment of those items over items tracked via bar codes at the case level (see EPC Reduces Out of Stocks at Wal-Mart). An 18-page research paper based on the study was published‚ entitled "Does RFID Reduce Out-of-Stocks? A Preliminary Analysis." The paper describes the Wal-Mart-commissioned

RFiD Video attendance system Most educational institutions’ administrators are concerned about student irregular attendance. Truancies can affect student overall academic performance. The conventional method of taking attendance by calling names or signing on paper is very time consuming and insecure‚ hence inefficient. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based attendance system is one of the solutions to address this problem. This system can be used to take attendance for student in school

to track the information that the passenger needs right away if there are inquiries or complaints. In order to solve the difficulties in the current taxi monitoring service‚ the proponents came up with the study to develop a Simple User-level RFID Based Record Management System. The outgoing taxi’s data can be easily acquired with the use of an automated system. With the use of a computer‚ transactions would be more reliable and faster. In order to keep a record of
