WHAT’S AN RFID?
A LITTLE BIT OF THE BORING HISTORY
1940
RFID was first used during World War II to identify aeroplanes (IFF: Identify
Friendly Foe). The objective was to use the aeroplane's radar signal to read an
identification number in order to identify whether they were allies or enemies.
1970
During the 1960-70s, RFID systems were still considered a secret technology used
by the army to control access into sensitive areas (nuclear plants etc.).
1980
Technological developments lead to the creation of passive tags.
This technology meant we no longer needed the energy to be embedded into the
tag. Therefore the price of the tag and its maintenance could
be significantly reduced.

From 2005
RFID technologies are now widely used in almost all industrial sectors
(aerospace, automotive, logistics, transport, health, life, etc.).. ISO
(International Standard Organization) took part in establishing technical
and applicative standards that let to have a high degree of
interoperability or interchangeability.
THE COMPONENTS
WHAT CONSTITUES AN RFID?
THE TAG
Tags can be read-only or read-write;
Tag memory can be factory or field programmed, partitionable, and
optionally permanently locked;
Bytes left unlocked can be rewritten over more than 1000000 times.
The Readers
Or Interrogators, they can be at a fixed point such as:
Entrance/Exit;
Point of sale;
Warehouse.
Readers can also be mobile- tethered, hand-held, or wireless;
The Readers
They are connected to antenna(s);
Energise tags;
Commands tags;
Receive tag replies.
HOST CPU
(Computer/Software)
Do something with the tag information;
Once installed it costs virtually NOTHING to read a tag;
Real time data real time decisions;
OHIO( ZERO HUMAN INVOLVEMENT OPERATIONS).
