RFID (Radio frequency identification device)

Radio frequency identification, or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an RFID tag). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. The reader converts the radio waves reflected back from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed on to computers that can make use of it.

RFID is a proven technology that's been around since at least the 1970s. Up to now, it's been too expensive and too limited to be practical for many commercial applications. But if tags can be made cheaply enough, they can solve many of the problems associated with bar codes. Radio waves travel through most non-metallic materials, so they can be embedded in packaging or encased in protective plastic for weather-proofing and greater durability. And tags have microchips that can store a unique serial number for every product manufactured around the world.

An RFID system consists of a tag, which is made up of a microchip with an antenna, and an interrogator or reader with an antenna. The reader sends out electromagnetic waves. The tag antenna is tuned to receive these waves. A passive RFID tag draws power from field created by the reader and uses it to power the microchip’s circuits. The chip then modulates the waves that the tag sends back to the reader and the reader converts the new waves into digital data.

RFID uses the low-end of the electromagnetic spectrum. The waves coming from readers are no more dangerous than the waves coming to your car radio.

Areas of Expertise

RFID

Mastek have developed innovative software to facilitate Inventory Counting, Location of Inventory/Artifacts and Business Input Data.
Currently, Counting, Locating and Business Input Data are three separate manual processes usually using three separate systems. The RFID innovation merges these three processes into one simple, streamlined method, reducing time, labour, shrinkage and the associated cost.

Full-scale deployment of RFID applications in the Canadian marketplace is still in its infancy. The technology will change the interaction between the consumer and service providers.

Some RFID technology applications are existing today:

  • Car keys use RFID as an anti-theft measure
  • Highway 407-ETR uses an RFID electronic tolling system
  • Libraries use RFID to track books
  • Canada has made RFID tags mandatory for cattle, as part of a food safety tracking system

Desktop Application Development

With a serious and regardful attitude towards your business, we start from the point of concept examination: our specialists carefully analyze your needs and help you create a detailed software requirements specification, which is indispensable for implementing the project the way you envision it. We offer two most common and effective development methodologies: waterfall and agile. While with waterfall you decide all the requirements for your project at the very start and get exactly what you need for a set price at a set time, with agile you are in charge during the whole development process and are welcome to add/change requirements and assess the already implemented functionality on the go.
