Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a common technology for identifying objects, animals, or people. The main form of barcode-type RFID device is known as an Electronic Product Code (EPC) and the most popular standard for passive RFID tags is Class-1 Generation-2. In this technology, the information transmitted between devices is through the air, therefore adversaries can eavesdrop these messages passed on the insecure radio channel and finally, the security of the system can be compromised. In this chapter, the authors analyze the security of EPC Class-1 Generation-2 standard, showing its security weaknesses and presenting some possible countermeasures.

Purpose – To prevent malpractices, medical staff has adopted inventory time-outs and/or checklists. Accurate inventory and maintenance of surgical instruments decreases the risk of operating room miscounting and malfunction. In our previous study, an individual management of surgical instruments was accomplished using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a new management method of RFID-tagged instruments. Design/methodology/approach – The management system of RFID-tagged surgical instruments was used for 27 months in clinical areas. In total, 13 study participants assembled surgical trays in the central sterile supply department. Findings – While using the management system, trays were assembled 94 times. During this period, no assembly errors occurred. An instrument malfunction had occurred after the 19th, 56th, and 73th uses, no malfunction caused by the RFID tags, and usage history had been recorded. Additionally, the time it took to assemble surgical trays was recorded, and the long-term usability of the management system was evaluated. Originality/value – The system could record the number of uses and the defective history of each surgical instrument. In addition, the history of the frequency of instruments being transferred from one tray to another was recorded. The results suggest that our system can be used to manage instruments safely. Additionally, the management system was acquired of the learning effect and the usability on daily maintenance. This finding suggests that the management system examined here ensures surgical instrument and tray assembly quality.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) implies a system that exchanges the data remotely, utilizing radio frequency waves. It is programmed identification innovation. This paper is about RFID based system for library management that permits quick exchange stream and will make simple to deal with the exercises like issue and return of books from the library absent much manual intercession. This system depends on RFID readers and detached RFID tags that can store the data electronically which can be perused by the RFID readers. This system will influence clients to issue to and return of books through RFID tags simple and furthermore ascertain the comparing fine connected with the timeframe the nonappearance of the book from the library.

In this study we focus on adding wireless intelligence to machines and systems to be used in production applications. The key enabling technologies of piloted mechatronic systems were RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) and WSAN (Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network). This work is mainly done in a project “Ubiquitous Computing in Maintenance Using Sensors and RFID Tags”. There were several industrial partners in the project. The main goal is to develop solutions that are suitable for industry. Several systems piloted in harsh industrial environments are considered in the paper.

We propose promoting parts reuse using a part agent consisting of a network agent and radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags to manage parts life cycles, which leads to sustainable production. The part agent advises users on parts reuse and promoting reused parts circulation. We developed a simulator to simulate individual parts behavior in their life cycles. In simulation, a part agent makes decisions based on predicted part behavior and user preference in maintenance handling. A part simulation model represents the behavior of individual parts.

A novel antenna/Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) combination usable in dual-band Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags over metallic objects is presented. A compact and low thickness prototype is manufactured and characterized in terms of return loss and radiation properties in an anechoic chamber both alone and on a metallic plate. The performance exhibited by the presented antenna/AMC prototype is proper for RFID tags on both metallic and nonmetallic objects.
