The Most Widely Used Communication and Automation Technologies in the World By: Bikramjeet Waraich CEO, HBeonLabs 17 Feb 2012
2
Session Description RFID- An Automatic Identification and Data Capturing Technology used worldwide for automation and control ZigBee - A very low cost, low power consumption two-way, wireless mesh network communications standard for automation and control
3
What is RFID? RFID is an ADC(Automatic Data Identification and Capturing) technology that uses radio- frequency waves to transfer data between a reader and a movable item to identify, categorize, track... RFID is fast, reliable, and does not require physical sight or contact between reader/scanner and the tagged item
4
What Constitutes an RFID System? One or more RFID tags One or more antennas One or more interrogators One or more host computers or Embedded Systems Appropriate software
5
RFID API Software (Communicates with the RFID Reader) Customer-Specific Application Software Host Computer Host Memory Space Reader Antenna Application Program Interface (API) Application Program Interface (API) Components of an RFID System
6
Tag Insert Antenna Reader Firmware Customer’s MIS Host Application Software API TCP/IP Power ~ Asset Asset/Tag RFID System Components (block diagram)
7
RFID Operation Sequence of Communication Host Manages Reader(s) and Issues Commands Reader and tag communicate via RF signal Carrier signal generated by the reader (upon request from the host application) Carrier signal sent out through the antennas Carrier signal hits tag(s) Tag receives and modifies carrier signal –“sends back” modulated signal Antennas receive the modulated signal and send them to the Reader Reader decodes the data –Results returned to the host application

RFID Operations
9
What is RFID? -- The Tags Tags can be read-only or read-write Tag memory can be factory or field programmed, partitionable, and optionally permanently locked Bytes left unlocked can be rewritten over more than 100,000 times
10
Tag ID Only Programmable Database Pointer Mission Critical Information Portable Database Read Only (Factory Programmed) WORM - Write Once, Read Many times Reprogrammable (Field Programmable) Read/Write (In-Use Programmable) RFID System Basics
11
Tags can be attached to almost anything: –pallets or cases of product –vehicles –company assets or personnel –items such as apparel, luggage, laundry –people, livestock, or pets –high value electronics such as computers, TVs, camcorders What is RFID? -- The Tags
12
Are All Tags The Same? Basic Types: Active Tag transmits radio signal Battery powered memory, radio & circuitry High Read Range (300 feet) Passive Tag reflects radio signal from reader Reader powered Shorter Read Range (4 inches - 15 feet)
13
Variations: –Memory Size (16 bits - 512 kBytes +) Read-Only, Read/Write or WORM Type: EEProm, Antifuse, FeRam –Arbitration (Anti-collision) Ability to read/write one or many tags at a time –Frequency 125KHz - 5.8 GHz –Physical Dimensions Thumbnail to Brick sizes –Price (Rs15 to Rs 250) Are All Tags The Same?
14
What is RFID? -- The Readers Readers (interrogators) can be at a fixed point such as –Entrance/exit –Point of sale –Warehouse Readers can also be mobile -- tethered, hand-held, or wireless
15
How far, how fast, how much, how many, attached to what?
16
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Applications
17
Portal Applications Bill of Lading Material Tracking
18
Portal Applications Electronic receipt & dispatch Wrong destination alert Electronic marking Pallet/container item tracking
19
Conveyor / Assembly Line Read / Write Operations Higher Accuracy than Bar Code
20
Conveyor / Assembly Line Up to 450 fpm 60+ items per container Inexpensive tunnels Longer tunnel more items Electronic receipt Sorting Electronic marking
21
Application Examples Wireless / Batch Inventory Management Material Handling By Destination Material Handling Inspecting / Maintaining Material Handling Aggregate / De-aggregate Where is it? What is it? What is inside the box? Where is it going? Where has it been? Should it be here? What have I assembled or disassembled? How many do I have? Do I have enough? Has this been repaired? Is this under warrantee? Has this been inspected? Is this complete? What is the asset’s status or state?
22
Shipping Validation Tote/Box/Unit Level Inventory
23
Logistics Tracking System
24
WHAT IS ZIGBEE? A very low cost, low power consumption two-way, wireless communications standard for automation, toys, & PC peripherals etc.
25
The Need for ZigBee Low Power consumption 6 months to 5 years battery life for most applications Low Cost At least half the cost of Bluetooth solutions High density of nodes per network 250 nodes per network, multiple co-located networks Data rate requirements Few bits to 250kbps sufficient Simple protocol, Global Implementation 2.4GHz Standard in a fragmented market Many proprietary solutions, interoperability issues Pent up demand due to lack of standard
26
Objective of ZigBee Interoperable consumer devices Open industry specification Peripheral, control and entertainment devices Lowest cost and lowest power consumption Anywhere in and around the home
27
Wireless Connectivity Industry Outlook 10 100 1,000 10,000 101001,00010,000100,000 Bandwidth kbps Ricochet HomeRF OpenAir 802.11b Bluetooth WLAN technologies GSM GPRS Range Meters 802.11g ZigBee
28
Network Topology Virtual links Network coordinator Network node Communications flow IEEE node
29
Other Network Forms Network coordinator Communications flow Ad-hoc network Gateway Network node Gateway enabled network
30
Supported Traffic Types Periodic data –Application defined rate Intermittent –Basic communication Repetitive low latency data –Allocation of guaranteed time slots
