The paper focuses on the environmental burden created by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in the Slovak Republic (SR). In order to determine the burden there, a model example was created to calculate electronic waste produced by households in the SR by placing RFID tags into municipal waste. The paper presents a legislative regulatory approach towards the environmental impacts from using RFID tags in the SR, as well as an analysis of the environmental burden of using RFID tags throughout the world. The core of the paper is focused on the research conducted in order to calculate the environmental burden of a model household in the SR, where the number of used RFID tags per year was observed; then, the volume of e-waste produced by households of the Slovak Republic per year was determined. In the conclusion, we provide the results of the research presented and discuss including our own proposal for solving the problems connected with the environmental burden of RFID technology.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been used in numerous applications, e.g., supply chain management and inventory control. This paper focuses on the practically important problem of the rapid estimation of the number of tags in large-scale RFID systems with multiple readers and multicategory RFID tags. RFID readers are often static and have to be deployed strategically after careful planning to cover the entire monitoring area, but reader-to-reader collision (R2Rc) remains a problem. R2Rc decreases the reliability of the estimation of the tag population size, because it results in the failure of communication between the reader and tags. In this paper, we propose a coloring graph-based estimation scheme (CGE), which is the first estimation framework designed for multireader and multicategory RFID systems to determine the distribution of tags in different categories. CGE allows for the use of any estimation protocol to determine the number of tags, prevents R2Rc, and results in higher time efficiency and less power-consumption than the classic scheduling method DCS.

This paper describes a way to improve the indoor navigation of mobile robots using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. A net of RFID tags is deployed in the navigation space. A measurement system measures distances from the tags to the robot with in the presence of the firstorder Markov-Gauss colored measurement noise (CMN) and is combined with a digital gyroscope to measure the robot heading. To increase the localization accuracy, the Kalman filter (KF) and unbiased finite impulse response (UFIR) modified for CMN are used. It is shown that the navigation system developed is more accurate than the basic one employing the standard KF and UFIR filter

Using of this latest RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology for an organization to improve the efficiency of organization security and maintain the record automatically. Security is the biggest challenge for everything and everywhere it’s the first priority of organization responsible authorities and they must provide the best way to deal these problems with full confidence. With help of RFID Technology it’s more easy and faster to identify the object is authorized or unauthorized to access or denied from the restricted premises. RFID Technology based on two components RFID Reader (Interrogator) & RFID Tags (Transponder). The tag contains an integrated circuit a unique number that number is assign to the object and it’s become the identification I’D of the object. This is used for processing data, modulating and demodulating the radio frequency signal that is being transmitted to RFID Reader, RFID reader read the tag and send the query to database for comparison of information which are exist in the existing database. The tag information is stored in the database the database is pass the query to micro controller the micro controller is perform operation on the base of object requirement and send back the information to database. The developed software performing functionality automatic and authentic. RFID Tags used as ID (identification number) registered in database is presenting the organization concerned object to allow access to the restricted premises otherwise denied the access inside the organization and saved all movement which pass through at the entrance and provide easily understandable, user-friendly and flexible interface for user. Maintain and update all information automatically. To minimize manually checking and record maintenance headache.

An RFID technology facilitates the work of different industries, it's used widely in many applications, like in the banking system. Banks are trying to give better services to their customers by using modern technologies. This paper presents the identification of persons (customers, employees) in a BANK and to utilize the simulation of this technology in order to make an electronic banking system more useful. Our system splits into two parts. The first is concerned about the customer by giving RFID tag attached to a checkbook, the second part is concerned about the employees by giving RFID tags attached to Identification Card (IDC). These tags are scanned by readers when entering the bank and processing of their information is performed in order to identify, track, monitor, verify, and give more satisfying services to customers such as reduction of waiting time, ability to bring security, accuracy and integrity of the banking systems of the country by accelerating most of the banking works by using electronic infrastructures without disturbance for special customers.

Chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been used in a variety of remote sensing applications and is currently a hot research topic. To date, there have been a large number of chipless RFID tags developed in both academia and in industry that boast a large variation in design characteristics. This review paper sets out to discuss the various design aspects needed in a chipless RFID sensor. Such aspects include: (1) Addressing strategies to allow for unique identification of the tag, (2) Sensing mechanisms used to allow for impedance-based response signal modulation and (3) Sensing materials to introduce the desired impedance change when under the influence of the target stimulus. From the tabular comparison of the various sensing and addressing techniques, it is concluded that although many sensors provide adequate performance characteristics, more work is needed to ensure that this technology is capable/robust enough to operate in many of the applications it has been earmarked for.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that has grown in popularity and in the applications of use. However, there are major issues regarding security and privacy with respect to RFID technology which have caught the interest of many researchers. There are significant challenges which must be overcome to resolve RFID security and privacy issues. One reason is the constraints attached to the provision of security and privacy in RFID systems. Along with meeting the security and privacy needs of RFID technology, solutions must be inexpensive, practical, reliable, scalable, flexible, inter-organizational, and long-lasting. To make RFID identifiers effective and efficient they must identify the item(s) while resisting attacks aimed at obtaining the tag’s information and compromising the system or making it possible to bypass the protection RFID tags are supposed to provide. Different authentication methods have been proposed, researched, and evaluated in the literature. In this work, we proposed our methodology in evaluating RFID authentication, and a few of the most promising authentication methods are reviewed, compared, and ranked in order to arrive at a possible best choice of protocol to use.

Belt conveyors are used as efficient conveyance systems for the continuous transportation of materials. However, they are also used for a wide range of applications in the transport of ores and non-metallic materials. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system represents a key technology in many industries due to its ability of automatic data processing. The purpose of the present article is to discuss the implementation of RFID tags into fabric conveyor belts as carriers of the information on conveyor belts (ozone-induced ageing or accelerated thermal ageing, damage to cover layers and the carcass, and ignition). During the monitoring, it is important to record conveyor belt failures and damage causes, as well as other problems arising during the use of belt conveyors. The article presents the results of the experimental research on RFID tags and the analysis of their behaviour in accelerated thermal ageing. This facilitates simulating the conditions of hot vulcanisation of conveyor belts, especially when splicing (as well as producing) them, and of ozone-induced ageing of conveyor belts. The output of the article is the verification of the possibility to implement the RFID technology in the transport of mineral materials by belt conveyance systems in real operations.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology revolutionizes the automatic identification of objects. In this paper, library logging system based on radio frequency identification (RFID) interface using Arduino Uno board as platform is proposed and prototyped. Technology in Arduino and RFID are reviewed. RFID MFRC522, is a highly integrated reader/writer IC for contactless communication at 13.56 MHz. RFID technology uses electromagnetic fields to transfer data to automatically identify objects. Information of books with RFID tags are registered in the database system. When books are scanned in the RFID reader, the system will automatically give the information of the book and the current date and time. User will input the borrowers’ information which will automatically login into the system with the book details. Arduino microcontroller is used as a micro web server and a communications gateway among hardware modules.  Design shows that RFID interfacing using Arduino Uno board as platform can make library logging system more efficient and convenient through the automation of workflow processes. To reduce library losses, security and item identification should be combined in a single tag in future designs.
