IMPLEMENTATION OF RFID SOLUTION

SURVEY OF SURROUNDINGS

When RFID is used for location finding, because surroundings have a great degree of influence on how well a signal can be read there are a series of challenges that have to be overcome. To implement RFID optimally, a series of surveys of the surroundings must be carried out to ensure correct installation. There are several techniques available for handling RFID signals.

It must be ensured that the RFID signals cannot interfere with any equipment at hospitals that is vital to patients' lives. If the objective is to identify which room the equipment is in, the solution need only determine in which direction the ID Tag is moving, e.g. through a doorway.

In addition to the positioning of the reader, there may be issues with ID Tags not being ideal for the particular item to be tracked. There can be big differences in the optimal positioning of an ID Tag, depending on the material to which the ID Tag is to be attached.

Because RFID is a very specialised technique, internal IT departments may not have the necessary know-how for monitoring and maintaining the system.

LET SYSTEMATIC ASSIST AND ADVICE

Systematic can supply a thoroughly tested and mature algorithm that, based on several readings, can determine in which direction an ID Tag is moving through an RFID portal. This algorithm ensures Systematic can deliver a very inexpensive room-level solution with a high degree of accurately based on passive RFID.

As part of the implementation of a RFID tracking solution, Systematic will assist and provide advice about the use of ID Tags as well as where they should be fitted for optimal effect. There is a difference between active and passive RFID Tags and Systematic can help you make the correct choice. Read more about the advantages and disadvantages.

Systematic can assess the RFID infrastructure and can offer both advice and help with more complex problems.
