“…Further, their conductivity is tuneable, and this makes them attractive for sensing antenna. A few PEDOT:PSS composite based temperature sensors [47][48][49][50][51] have been reported recently, but these either do not have a suitable range of operation for biomedical or smart packaging applications or are not suitable to be used as sensing antennas due to poor electrical behavior. There is hardly any flexible and chipless printed temperature sensing antenna reported so far.…”

The ever-increasing number of devices on wearable and portable systems comes with challenges such as integration complexity, higher power requirements, and less user comfort. In this regard, the development of multifunctional devices could help immensely as they will provide the same functionalities with lesser number of devices. Herein, we present a dual-function flexible loop antenna printed on Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) substrate. With a PEDOT:PSS section as part of the printed structure, the presented antenna can also serve as a temperature sensor by means of change in resistance. The antenna resonates at 1.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequencies. The ohmic resistance of the temperature sensing part decreases by ~70% when the temperature increases from 25⁰C to 90⁰C. The developed antenna was characterised using VNA in the same temperature range and the S11 magnitude was found to change by ~3.5 dB. The induced current was also measured in the GSM frequency range and sensitivity of ~1.2%/⁰C was observed for the sensing antenna. The flexible antenna was also evaluated in lateral and cross bending conditions and the response was found to be stable for the cross bending. Due to these unique features, the presented antenna sensor could play a vital role in the drive toward ubiquitous sensing through wearables, smart labels, and the internet of things (IoT).

“…Alternatively, rather than using electronic memory, using physical and chemical sources for memory can offer a battery-free solution. For example, liquid metal [9], RFID threads [43], shape memory polymer [44], and MEMS photoswitch [45] have been used to record past interest events as a permanent change in their physiochemical property. In this paper, an opening recording sensor is built by an RFID tag and a printed switch on a paper substrate as in Figure 4.…”

Cost-Effective Wireless Sensors for Detection of Package Opening and Tampering

et al. 2020

There is a need to develop a simple cost-effective approach for wireless detection of whether package is or was open en route during transportation. Existing approaches rely on electronic devices that need sensors with on-board and continuous power source for sensing and data logging. This paper presents three different battery-free, cost-effective, Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID)-based solutions for the detection of tampering or package opening. The first solution is for real-time opening detection. Opening or closing the package leads to unfolding or folding of the flexible-based antenna, which activates or deactivates the RFID tag. The second solution is for recording and memorizing package opening using a printed switch that shunts the antenna of the RFID tag. Opening causes a permanent disconnection of this switch activating the RFID. This change is irreversible; thus, the sensor memorizes the specific opening event without any additional electronic memory device. The third solution is for all-around package security using an RFID-based thread. Opening the package from any side allows changes in the radiation profile so the package condition can be wirelessly sensed. The approaches have been simulated and validated experimentally.

“…At MIT, Bhattacharyya, Di Leo, Floerkemeier, Sarma and Anand [20] are working on an inexpensive, passive RFID chip that may dramatically enhance data collection on the status of food items requiring refrigeration. Their research reports on the design of a temperature RFID threshold sensor that registers the violation of critical temperature thresholds by inducing a permanent change in an RFID tag antenna's electrical properties.…”

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology provides new and exciting opportunities for increasing organiza- tional, financial, and operational performance. With its focus on organizational efficiency and effectiveness, RFID technology is superior to barcodes in its ability to provide source automation features that increase the speed and volume of data collection for analysis. Today, applications that employ RFID are growing rapidly and this technology is in a continuous state of evolution and growth. As it continues to progress, RFID provides us with new opportunities to use business intelligence (BI) to monitor organizational operations and learn more about markets, as well as consumer attitudes, behaviors, and product preferences. This technology can even be used to prevent potentially faulty or spoiled products from ending up in the hands of consumers. However, RFID offers significant challenges to organizations that attempt to employ this technology. Most significantly, there exists the potential for RFID to overwhelm data collection and BI analytic efforts if organizations fail to effectively address RFID data integration issues. To this end, the purpose of this article is to explicate the dynamic technology of RFID and how it is being used today. Additionally, this article will provide insights into how RFID technology is evolving and how this technology relates to BI and issues related to data integration. This knowledge has never been more essential. While IT academic research into RFID development and issues has declined in recent years, RFID continues to be a vital area of exploration, especially as it relates to BI in the 21st century
