RFID Tag Features Market Trends Features Improvement -Memory Extension : -Improved Security/Privacy Schemes Class2 I/O-Proocol Security Memory User Logic RF Class 1 Memory EPC Logic RF Cost Improvement WW Frequency Compliance - High Sensitivity Front-End - Support Market Trend Prices New Features -Sensors : Temperature/Pressure/ - Battery Assisted Class3 Class1 Memory EPC Logic RF Sensor Memory PG & Data Logic RF Battery
Smart RFID Tags Research Combining sensors with RFID tags Temperature Pressure Strain Humidity Chemicals Inexpensive and small Easy to implement Ultra low power requirements Growing demand for crypto tags on UHF RFID Asymmetrical encryption technology (more secure and easier to handle) to be developed for all RFID technologies (HF + UHF) Mass production - environmental aspects are important to avoid special waste
RFID Readers Research Mini and micro RFID readers Readers that minimize the interference with metal and liquids Readers with minimum interference (cheap and strongly directional reader antennae) Low cost readers and low cost readers` management (intelligent reader approaches) Environmental sealing
RFID hybrid technology Low-cost, low power RFID systems can be integrated with other systems to obtain a suitable infrastructure for different applications Combining RFID standard with the existing standards such as: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, etc. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USN) Simple Complex System Architecture MiddleWare Unified Data Representation Sensor Interface Data Abstraction Name Sensor Nodes Intra network processing Routing WSN Management Query processing WSN Data [EPC, Sensor Data] RFID Reader RFID Passive Tags RFID Reader RFID Active Tags RFID Sensing Nodes USN
RFID Future Research Research on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) (crucial) Reliability of tag reading (on metal, liquid) to be improved Manufacturing (e.g. self-assembly of chips) Energy awareness; autonomy RFID modular platform (common technological platform to enable cost effectiveness) System integration incl. interfaces to the systems of different vendors
Moving towards Real Time Enterprise We are moving towards when a business event take place, all systems and people within the enterprise will get the information and can act accordingly Maintenance of the Future Information's from applications trigging a action Field of the Future Real time analysis trigging alerts and action Supply of the Future Real Information's from stock trigging a action
RFID Business Models Developing and disseminating low cost tags with limited features and to centralize the information on data servers managed by service operators. Value resides in the data management. More functions into the tags bringing local services and added value to the tag itself. Sensing RFID devices. Distributing the information both on centralized data servers and on the intelligent sensing RFID tags and develop the network infrastructure for communication.
