RADIO-FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION Identifying and Inventorying Assets presented by EID Ltd. 10 July 2006
OVERVIEW • Introductions • RFID Overview • How RFID Works • Different RFID Technologies • Points to consider in selecting a suitable RFID Technology • TROVAN system applications
ABOUT TROVAN LTD. • Technology leader since 1989 • 16-year track record of service and reliability • On-going product R&D program • Comprehensive technology and patent portfolio • Broad pallet of products
EXPERIENCE • Systems installed in over 40 nations and on seven continents • Tens of millions of assets identified with Trovan transponders • Customers include major corporations and government agencies in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australasia
HOW DOES IT WORK? 128 KHz operating frequency
DIFFERENT RFID TECHNOLOGIES • Active vs. Passive • Low Frequency vs. High Frequency, UHF • Read-only vs. Read-write • Full Duplex vs. Half Duplex
WHY USE LOW FREQUENCY, PASSIVE RFID? • Tag signatures cannot be “captured” by unauthorized personnel over distances • Read reliability: through non-ferrous solids, liquids, paint, dirt, grease, etc. • Overall cost of deploying complete system is significantly less • Unlimited transponder lifespan--no batteries to replace
WHY USE LOW FREQUENCY, PASSIVE RFID? (CONT’D) • Each transponder good for life of asset
TROVAN TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES • Easier and faster reads • Full duplex technology (removes need for frequency-determined tuning circuit and for power-supply capacitor) • Automatically hunts for best frequency to maximize power transfer, minimizing effect of composites on operation • Transponders operate on and countersunk in metals • Enhanced performance in high-EMI environments
TROVAN TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES(CONT’D) • Read range • Minimize number of tag components (system reliability) • Engineering team available to develop customized solutions
