Our project title: “Implementation of RFID technology in F&N warehouse”.

Belows are some introduction for RFID technology:

RFID is getting more popular nowadays and has been widely used in several industries including Government units. For instance, Land Transport Authority has used RFID in Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system in city areas and expressways since 1998. Basically, RFID Tags are made of three parts:

1. The chip holds information about the physical object to which the tag is attached.


2. The antenna transmits information to a reader (e.g. handheld, warehouse portal, store shelf) using radio waves.


3. The packaging encases the chip and antenna

Tags come in two varieties:
* Active
* Passive

Passive tags derive their energy from radio frequencies transmitted by readers. The cost is less compare to Active tags because they do not require batteries. Active Tags contain their own battery and are always on.
