Laboratory Testing of Active and Passive UHF RFID Tags

Abstract

This article deals with research of laboratory testing by active and passive UHF tags and therefore mutual coexistence of active and passive RFID technology, which is a part of automatic identification and data capture. In this article we would like to describe an identification of transport unit based on passive technology and also by active technology. We would like to specify, how this technologies can work together and in which application focuses on postal and logistics. All results are verified by measurement in our AIDC laboratory, which is located at the University of Žilina. Our research contains different types of measurements in order to point out the possible influence of these two technologies. The results of our research bring the new point of view and indicate the ways using of UHF RFID technology in postal and logistics applications. At the end of this article is characterized the utilization of the RFID technology in postal logistics chain by using both passive and active technologies.

Experimental verification of options application RFID technology in real conditions

“…In order to incorporate component parameters into simulation models and to avoid implementation problems in practice, measurements were performed to verify the ability to read RFID tags in a laboratory environment, but with conditions close to real practice on the mobile device. [7], [9][5], [10] The experiments conducted at the Department of Industrial Engineering and informatics have been dealt with on the basis of practical requirements for RFID systems, where the correctness of reading is influenced by many factors. Since many businesses nowadays design and subsequently install information system based on RFID into practice, progressing by system try-mistake and pay little attention to loading intensity, focusing only on whether the system works and identifies the tag.…”

Applied RFID in LogisticsTesting RFID Technology for its Application in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods and Apparel Industries

“…A different approach is needed for interference with an electrostatic charge: the focus is on the protection of RFID tags more than avoiding bias (Blitshteyn, 2005), and lots of patents do exist to Holland et al (2011) have discussed artificial neural network algorithms for device localization by means of RFID, overcoming interference from metal (i) walls and (ii) structural elements, as well as human presence. More in general, studies have proved that (i) correctly setting the layout of readers, (ii) tagging the items to be identified in a suitable manner, as well as (iii) preferring passive tags to active ones can ease this kind of interference to the extent that readability is not affected (Kolarovszki, 2014 ;Kolarovszki et al, 2016).…”

Challenges of Information and Communication Technologies Usage in E-Business Systems

“…The vehicle and trailer tracking system is an advanced and effective IT system for monitoring and managing precise arrivals and departures of vehicles at specific points in the logistics chain. The system is built on the experience and know-how acquired from supplying the world's largest and most widespread RFID network stretching across about 60 countries [21]. This method of usage within the e-business environment belongs to a group of B2B and B2C business, where the end user is included.…”
