4. Radio Frequency Identification:
RFID is an Automatic Data Capture technology that uses
radio-frequency waves to read a movable item to identify,
categorize & track...
RFID is fast, reliable, and does not require physical line of
sight or contact between reader/scanner and the RFID
tagged item.

5. HISTORY OF RFIDHISTORY OF RFID
• In 1945, Léon Theremin invented an espionage tool for
the Soviet Union which retransmitted incident radio
waves with audio information.
• Mario Cardullo's device, patented on January 23, 1973,
was the first true ancestor of modern RFID, as it was a
passive radio transponder with memory.

8. What is RFID? -- The Tags
Tags can be attached to
almost anything:
 pallets or cases of product
 vehicles
 company assets or personnel
 items such as apparel,
luggage, laundry
 people, livestock, or pets
 high value electronics such
as computers, TVs, camcorders

9. What is RFID? -- The Tags
Tags can be read-only or read-write
Tag memory can be factory or field programmed
and optionally permanently locked (security)
Data written to the tag
left unlocked, can be
modified over more than
100,000 times, allowing the
the tag to be reused or
updated

10. Advantages of RFID Systems
 Ability to read data without visual access
 Ability to read data from moving objects
 Ability to read data at distance, from 3cm to
100 metres
 Ability to secure the tag data
 Ability to update data in the tag (write)
 Ability to have automated read of tags.
 Ability to have the tag form to suit the
application

13. RFID in Defence Applications
 Inventory and Asset management using long
range RFID tags (6 metres)
 Securing and sealing slow moving inventory
 High accuracy in location and quantity of
Inventory
 Automatic confirmation for picking and
deployment of inventory, using fixed and mobile
readers
 Inventory user identification
 Allocate inventory to individual users
automatically

14. • No line of sight required for reading
• Multiple items can be read with a single scan
• Each tag can carry a lot of data (read/write)
• Individual items identified and not just the category
• Passive tags have a virtually unlimited lifetime
• Active tags can be read from great distances
• Can be combined with barcode technology
RFID advantages over bar-codes

15. • Hidden placement of tags
• Unique identifiers for all objects worldwide
• Massive data aggregation
• Unauthorized development of detailed profiles
• Unauthorized third party access to profile data
• Hidden readers

want to know, she’s
carrying 700 Euro…”
Privacy: The flip side of RFID

16. Strengths
 Advanced technology
 Easy to use
 High memory capacity
 Small size
Weaknesses
 Lack of industry and application
standards
 High cost per unit and high RFID
system integration costs
 Weak market understanding of
the benefits of RFID technology
Opportunities
 Could replace the bar code
 End-user demand for RFID
systems is increasing
 Huge market potential in many
businesses
Threats
 Ethical threats concerning
privacy life
 Highly fragmented competitive
environment
