RFID Shielding

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the field of RFID technology, many RFID integrators currently rely solely on virtual shielding to protect their RFID systems.  Virtual RFID shield is using advanced algorithmic technologies to get precise data from defined zones.  While virtual shielding effectively reduces cross-readings, it reaches its limits in complex environments.  There are situations where algorithms simply can’t do anything.  It is a matter of physics.  No line of coding can accurately interpret a separation of just a few millimeters between two tagged products.  This is where the physical shield becomes essential.  The physical shield is a key component to ensure the precision and reliability of data capture, even in the most challenging environments.

Identify offers a comprehensive range of RFID shielding technologies, including wall coverings, transparent films, and protective textiles.  All are designed to eliminate any signal leakage, definitively prevent cross-reads, and maximize the performance of RFID systems.  These physical shields can successfully eliminate unwanted tag readings and enhance the accuracy of collected data.  With the precise signal capture ensures actionable and relevant information, free from errors even in complex electromagnetic environments.

Virtual + Physical = the only RFID equation that works at 100%.

/0 Comments/in , /by

IdentifyRFID which has worked in RFID technology for more than 20 years has released Linen Management on Cloud.  This cloud based solution is designed to help hospitality and hotel to minimize cost in track and trace uniform and linen.

This solution is designed to be easy to use and simple to install because the solution is designed on web-based.  Benefits may include:    

  • Eliminate certain manual task and automate record keeping for linen in and out
  • Increase the visibility on the linen in stock by checking from dash board
  • Lowering of laundry expense by helping reduce laundry expenses by controller cleaning activity and preventing overcharges from outside laundries.

RFID Middleware On Cloud

/0 Comments/in , /by

Besides RFID reader and RFID tags, one essential factor for a successful RFID project is RFID middleware. RFID middleware plays significant part in any RFID projects. The key function of this software is to control RFID reader, to manage RFID reader reading function and to filter RFID tags. This software will filter and send the clean data to any software applications.


With the extensive experience in RFID technology, we found that many RFID projects fail because of RFID middleware. Some RFID middleware cannot manage RFID reader effectively. In addition, some projects need to invest a lot on the development of RFID middleware. This can be a key obstacle for SMEs.


To overcome above limitation, we have developed a RFID middleware on cloud solution. This middleware can work with multiple readers. Now our RFID middleware supports Speedway, Thingmagic (Jadak) and FEIG RFID readers. This middleware is in cloud based so it can connect with any RFID readers as long as they are in the same network. This will reduce the cost on middleware development and also reduce the cost on IT infrastructure.

Case: Home Pro PLC

/0 Comments/in , /by

Home Pro PLC which is one of the largest household items retailers would like to improve its logistics management and increase the visibility of its trailer.  Currently the company does not have any effective technology to automatically manage its trailer. 

SOLUTION

Passive RFID technology is selected to be used to meet the objectives. Each truck and its trailer are tagged with outdoor RFID tags.  The readers are installed at the key strategic station including entrance, loading bay, weight station and exit.  The tags are read automatically with the readers located at each station.  After reading by the reader, the truck information is forward to data base application.  Staff at the warehouse will be able to prepare loading operation in advance when the truck enters the factory.  With the readers at the each loading bay, warehouse staff is able to increase the utilization of loading bay.  Any loading bay which is not used will be automatically appeared on the control room.  Staff can assign the available trailer to do loading on that bay, unlike before which needs to have someone to walk to the DC to see which loading is unoccupied.  Besides eliminating some manual operation, the truck information is automatically recorded into the system.  The staff can use this information to set the KPI of each operation.  In addition, the company is able to know the number of the trailers which is used and which is not in used.  This information will be used for further business planning on the trailer utilization.

RESULTS

  • Give better visibility on trailer
  • Eliminate human operation such as data entry or etc.  
  • Truck and trailer status is digitalized in measurable format, while makes it possible to monitor and improve operation.
  • Increase the utilization of loading bay
