There is an undeniable trend to implement more and more sensors so that the data is then sent to the IoT to be processed.
The issue with this data source is that sensors and actuators need a power source to operate.
The quest for autonomous sensors to be deployed massively is on the rise. Energy harvesting sources such as solar or vibrations are some of the lines but they require stable set-ups which are generally far away from real world applications.
Learn how RFID can help by harvesting energy from the RF field created by an RFID reader.
Battery-free sensors that are ready for a poll from RFID readers as a source for the IoT.

What RFID is NOT
A natural power source –RFID reader required to power up sensor tags
An ubiquitous power source –RFID reader needs to be close to the sensor tags
What RFID IS
A reliablesource–wirelesscommunicationisnotdependentonenvironmentalconditions
A maintenancefree solution. Sensor tags can be deployedanywherewithouteverrequiringa batterychange.

Key issues when dealing with UHF RFID sensor tags
EPC C1 G2 is thought for handling ID, not sensors
Compatibility with existing EPC C1G2 readers is a must
Not using custom commands is highly recommended
