Concept and Brief IntroductionConcept and Brief Introduction

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) an Auto-ID data collectionsystem surveillance, using RF waves for Identifying, Tracking anddoing Management like supply chain system.

Basic concept electromagnetic or electrostaticcoupling in the RF portion of the electromagneticspectrum is used to transmit signal

Invented and used since Early 1940’s (WW II)- Friend or foe concept


RFID System

INTRODUCTION

RFID System


Three types of RFID tags

Passive tag Active tag Semi-passive tag

Works quite similar to passiveHas small internal batteryUses as a sensor, when interrogated, reports the data like temperature range during shipment

Has an internal batteryTag data can be modifiedCan transmit over longer distanceUse in Supply chain and toll payment

Obtain operating power thru the RF readerTag data is read onlyShorter communication rangeUse in Tracking and access control

RFID ArchitectureRFID ArchitectureIn figure 1 the whole operation divided into three key phases.

1st Items-tag are scanned byreader

2nd In backend transmitteddata coming through antenna(RF-wave) are beingrecognized by RFID-basedsystem PC. It acts as amiddleware communicationgateway among items, readerand system database

3rd It filters out and store datain RFID-databases forchecking the data fault andrelevant operation.

Current Scenario

Globallyshortage of qualified RFID workers

“knowledgeable, skilled and technical experts”RFID education focused mainly on key

concepts and applications of RFIDSome course work are software based and

focused mainly on API development

5


South East AsiaAdoption rate in

Southeast Asia has been relatively sluggishSkills gap in system

integration

Current Scenario

6


PhilippinesPhilippine market is still in the development

stage for RFIDConsumer awareness about the technology is

lowNo available training kits capable of

supporting hands-on training on RFID especially for learning purposes

Current Scenario

7


Usefulness and importance of RFID, a need for a continuous improvement

Necessity to know the basics and understand possible improvements

Developing an RFID training module that will help students understand its usefulness and importance

RESEARCH PROPOSAL

8


This research aims to answer the question:

How can researchers or students be able to understand and learn the main idea behind RFID and how to put this technology in actual application?

Problem Statement

9


This project research aims:

1. To give a comprehensive information and public awareness on the usefulness and applications of the RFID technology.

2. To develop a training module that will serve as a building block for further studies and research in RFID.

Objectives

General Objectives

10


1. To gain an understanding of the basic principles behind RFID technology.2. To guide and to familiarize the students with RFID tags and readers.3. To be able to learn and to construct basic RFID application-circuits.

Specific ObjectivesObjectives

11


“Comprehensive Education and Public Awareness” willbe the important words that the students should obtainonce they will complete the learning procedure in thetraining module.

Significance of the Study

12


1. Laboratory Experiment Manual- contains lectures and experimental procedures that willa. Show the principle behind the tag and readerb Show Basic and Advance RFID applications

2. Actual instruments for experiment

Scope and Delimitation

13


METHODOLOGY1. Pre-test surveyDetermine if the proposed research merits relevance in

awareness and perception of the RFID technology

To examine respondent’s views regarding the concept of RFID technology.

Conducted from January to February 2007

Participated by 80 respondents (Japanese and Filipino)

14


2. Pre-test Results

The graph shows that there is a need to implement public awareness and comprehensive education on RFID.

Question asked:• Have you heard about the

concept of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)?

3. Design Consideration

The RFID training module is composed of two parts:

1. The training module manual which contains laboratory lectures and experimental procedures.

2. Actual instrument needed for the laboratory set-ups.

18


1. Laboratory manual should contains :A. Safety notes for Laboratory experimentsB. Purpose/s or objective/s of the ExperimentsC. Background InformationD. Equipments/instruments neededE. Experimental ProceduresF. Data AnalysisG. ConclusionH. Questions

19


Familiarization with RFIDs Effects of the SurroundingsBasic RFID applications

RFID through Security Access

Experiments on the Laboratory Manual

20


2. Actual instruments and devices tested on selected RFID applications

1. Pre-fabricated PC-based RFID module 2. Stand-alone RFID module

21


1. Pre-fabricated PC-based RFID module

- PC-based Phidget RFID board module- Runs with Phidget Software- Can manage tag easily on the tag-data base- Has a +5V voltage output that can triggers electrical relay or any electrical circuits

22


2. Stand-alone RFID module

-The stand alone RFID module – needs no computer to operate.-The output can easily attached on those that needed to control by RFID system.-Used Intel 8048 microcontroller

3. Post test evaluation and results

Determine effective results for the awareness of the RFID technology using the module

-The evaluation test was conducted on June 2007 and 30 respondents participated

- Questions asked are all based on the effectiveness if all experiments will result to an awareness of RFID.

24


The graph shows the result of the post test evaluation if they understood the concept behind RFID

Question asked:• Did you understand the concept

behind this RFID experiment?

25


Shows the effectiveness of the experiments in the RFID training module

• Question asked:Do you think that these experiments are effective in demonstrating and explaining the concept of RFID?

26


CONCLUSION

RFID has limitations but can result to greater benefits if sufficient awareness is disseminated

Applicability with its objectives of COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION and PUBLIC AWARENESS

The developed training kit is a viable tool for RFID education/training

27


CONCLUSION

Will help Filipino students to understand more about RFID technology

Supports Philippine universities’ goal of equipping students with actual practical/hands-on knowledge

Serve as educational module kit to laboratories in Philippine universities

28


RECOMMENDATIONS

Educate users about RFID, develop design standards of RFID and guide the use of such elements in products to avoid potential problems

The concepts and experiments in the module, be applied in the Philippine setting, especially to Filipino students taking up IT, electrical and electronics related courses

29


RECOMMENDATIONS

In future, develop an advance training module that includes active and semi-passive RFID tags application

Organize projects involving students, applying RFID technology to the local community
