RFID Solution is a presentation by SMS Network (Pvt.) Ltd about implementing RFID technology for access control and security. RFID is becoming more prevalent and affordable as read ranges, accuracy and performance have improved. Global standards have also helped increase ROI. Major organizations are mandating RFID compliance for suppliers. RFID allows simultaneous reading of multiple tags without line-of-sight and improves inventory processes by reducing time and labor. The proposed access control solution would provide safety, security, audit trails and workforce management for buildings and restricted areas.

2. Advances in RFID RFID is becoming increasingly prevalent as the price of the technology decreases. Recent developments include increased read ranges and accuracy, better anti-collision techniques, and increased performance in demanding and previously non-ideal environments. Declining hardware and infrastructure costs and greater abilities to integrate systems seamlessly make now a great time to invest in RFID. All across the world, Radio Frequency Identification is helping businesses improve their processes and increase their efficiency.

3. Security With terrorism and other threats an ever present reality in today’s world, the safety and security of humans, pharmaceuticals, food, and other highly valuable and highly mobile assets is of utmost importance. Consumers and regulators are increasingly demanding more security and accurate information on products as they move around the world. Companies that take a proactive position in using RFID to increase safety and security will help set the standards going forward and be looked upon as leaders in today’s global economy.

4. Global Standards Much progress has been made in the last few years in creating global and industry standards for RFID, thus increasing compatibility and ROI of investments in RFID. Organizations like EPC Global, the US Food and Drug Administration, and others have taken the lead in initiating and organizing standards around their respective industries.

5. Maturing Technology Recent developments include increased read ranges and accuracy, better anti-collision techniques, and increased performance in demanding and previously non-ideal environments. Declining hardware and infrastructure costs, and greater abilities to integrate systems seamlessly, make now a great time to invest in RFID.

6. Mandates Major organizations, most notably Wal-Mart, Target, Albertson's, Tesco, and the US Department of Defense, have begun issuing mandates demanding that their suppliers become RFID compliant on all their shipments. There's a reason why these industry leaders believe RFID is a must-have for the future. You need to get ahead of the curve as well.

7. RFID Can Read Multiple Tags Simultaneously Performing a manual inventory process requires personnel to individually match tag ID's or serial numbers. This can be a very time consuming and prone to inaccuracies. Using barcodes speeds up the inventory process and makes it more accurate, but still requires each asset to be scanned individually. Many handheld RFID readers for can read up to 20 tags or more simultaneously.

8. RFID Does Not Require Line-of-Sight Both manual and barcode processes require that the tags be physically located and viewable. Another advantage of RFID is the ability to read tags that are not visible. Unlike barcodes and human readable tags that must be physically located and viewable to read, RFID tags do not need to be visible to be read. For example, tagging a PC up under a desk would require personnel to crawl up under the desk to physically locate and view the tag when using a manual or barcode process. Using an RFID tag would allow personnel to read the tag through the desk without even seeing it. There are some exceptions to this rule when metal and liquid are involved.

9. RFID Improves Processes Physically inventorying and auditing assets can be a time consuming process that can pull valuable employees from their normal job responsibilities to participate in an inventory. In many cases these employees are over-qualified and over-paid for the task. At a minimum, pulling these personnel away from their responsibilities can affect the bottom line. Implementing an RFID solution can dramatically reduce the man-power required to keep track of your assets and provide better visibility.
