Full traceability of products is extremely difficult, although it has been sought after for as long as production, distribution and sales chains exist. Electronic traceability methods, such as RFID technology, have been proposed as a possible solution to this problem. In the specific case of RFID, the number of applications that promote innovative solutions in retail and other areas has been continuous growing. However, RFID tags are mostly placed externally on a surface of products or their packages. This is appropriate for logistics, but not for other applications, such as those involving user interaction. In those, not only is the placement of the RFID tag more complex, but it is also necessary that the tag is not visible or not directly accessible, to prevent accidental damage and intentional abuse. This certainly imposes challenges to manufacturing, but mainly creates new challenges to the development of new products and re-design of existing ones. This chapter presents some insights and what we consider to be the two main approaches to incorporating RFID technology into consumer products.

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

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.

Counterfeiting has always been a concern, costing a significant amount of money and causing losses in international trading markets. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag Anti-counterfeiting is a conceptual solution that has received attention in the past few years. In this article, we present a survey study on the research topic of anti-counterfeiting products using RFID tags on merchandise. As this issue evolved in industry, there were several techniques used to address the problem; each technique uses a different concept and mechanism in resolving the issue. Each technique also has different pros and cons which we will address at the end of this paper with our findings. As we explore RFID technology and its implementation, we will discuss previous research before proceeding to the core of the topic of RFID Anti-counterfeiting based on the methods used. We compare the different techniques used at the end of the paper.

Results of Automatic Identification of Transport Units in Postal Environment This article primarily deals with identification of postal items and transport units in the logistic chain of postal operators. Nowadays, the identification is carried through barcodes and optical character recognition. In this article we would like to specify, how the transport units can be identified in the transmission process by RFID technology. In the carriage of postal items it is necessary to decide what type of transport is used for that purpose, what the flows of items are and what their intensity is. The RFID technology is complex, combining a number of different computing and communication technologies to achieve the desired objectives. Each object, which has to be identified, is stuck inside of a small object known as an RFID tag. RFID tag has a unique identifier, through which you can store additional information about the object. Equipments which are known under the name of RFID readers wirelessly, communicate with RFID tags with a view to identify RFID tags attached as well as the possibility to read and update information stored in the RFID label. The article describes the scheme of the transport process, including planned technology and there is also simulated a real postal process in conditions close to operational.

RFID is a technology which is used to identify remote objects embedded with RFID tags by wireless scanning without manual intervention; it can be used in traffic management wildspread. In this paper, we propose RFID tag management process for every vehicle firstly; some typical or potential RFID applications in traffic management are introduced such as vehicles congestion managementandengineemission inspection from petrol automotives subsequently; finally, the existing issues of implementation of RFID systems are generalized.

Chip-less radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is capable for detecting, identification, and chasing for the future Internet of Things (IoT) systems and applications. The chipless RFID technology gives us the impression as a rising substitute of the traditional RFID tags and barcodes by encoding data from tags employing the radio frequency waves. The paper presents the design as well as simulation of chip-less Plus shaped RFID tags. The structure is composed of Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 by means of a substrate having the physical dimensions 40mm x 40mm over which eight resonators are placed. This tag is compact, and the resonators are closely placed. The tag is designed using Ansys Electronics Desktop.

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.

We present the possibilities and challenges of passive UHF RFID tag antennas manufactured by inkjet printing silver nanoparticle ink on versatile paper-based substrates. The most efficient manufacturing parameters, such as the pattern resolution, were determined and the optimal number of printed layers was evaluated for each substrate material. Next, inkjet-printed passive UHF RFID tags were fabricated on each substrate with the optimized parameters and number of layers. According to our measurements, the tags on different paper substrates showed peak read ranges of 4–6.5 meters and the tags on different cardboard substrates exhibited peak read ranges of 2–6 meters. Based on their wireless performance, these inkjet-printed paper-based passive UHF RFID tags are sufficient for many future wireless applications and comparable to tags fabricated on more traditional substrates, such as polyimide.
