EXPERIMENTAL EXAMINATIONS OF THE LOGISTICS PARAMETERS OF AN INDUCTIVE RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

There are two main factors determining the applicability of an inductive radio frequency identification (RFID) system for dynamic operations: the logistics parameters (communication range, amount of transmittable data, communication time and speed of data carrier) and their effects on each other. The aim of the research of the Department of Building and Material Handling Machines, Technical University of Budapest, in cooperation with OMRON Electronics Hungary Ltd., is to develop a new measuring and analysing method to examine the logistics parameters mentioned above and to simulate their effects on each other. This method helps the end-users to choose the proper RFID system to be used in a given application, where RFID system will operate in dynamic conditions and the material-flow requires a lot of constantly changing information. This study gives a description of the research, its main steps, the executed examinations and their results. Furthermore, it indicates what additional tasks have to be executed to accomplish the research.
