The document discusses how radio frequency identification (RFID) technology can be used to increase efficiency in logistics and production processes. It provides an overview of RFID fundamentals including components, frequency allocation, tag types, and factors that affect system performance. The document also outlines specific applications of RFID such as fleet management, production tracking, and weighbridge automation. It argues that RFID can help reduce waste and inefficiencies in lean manufacturing by providing real-time visibility of materials and processes.

A Review on Microstrip Patch Antenna for UHF RFID Tag Applications mounted on...IJEEE
In this paper, we discuss different designs of microstrip patch antennas for UHF RFID Tag applications mounted on metallic surface. We discuss the various requirements of such designs like size, bandwidth, circular polarization. Out of UHF band 860MHz to 960MHz is assigned for RFID applications.
Here is a Whitepaper I wrote way back in 2011 for the the Steel Industry. The industry has only started capitalizing on the RFID Technology for Inventory Tracking and Realtime Location Tracking. I see a lot of potential in exploiting the usage of RFID Technology in our day to day operations.

A Survey: SMS Sending Through RFID SensorsEditor IJMTER
This paper throws light on combined working of RFID sensors along with SMS sending
technique. Paper is based how RFID sensors can sense data. Generally these data needs to be send
through some wired or wireless medium, But sometime we need to send such data in groupings or
indications directly from Sensors.
This presentation includes the discussion of Digital Signal Processing applications such as two band digital corssover system, woofers, sqawkers, tweeters, interference cancellation in ECG, speech noise reduction using FIR/ IIR filters, speech coding and compression, CD recording system
Radio Frequency identification (RFID) technology has become emerging
technique for tracking and items identification. Depend upon the function; various RFID
technologies could be used. Drawback of passive RFID technology, associated to the range
of reading tags and assurance in difficult environmental condition, puts boundaries on
performance in the real life situation [1]. To improve the range of reading tags and
assurance, we consider implementing active backscattering tag technology. For making
mobiles of multiple radio standards in 4G network; the Software Defined Radio (SDR)
technology is used. Restrictions in Existing RFID technologies and SDR technology, can be
eliminated by the development and implementation of the Software Defined Radio (SDR)
active backscattering tag compatible with the EPC global UHF Class 1 Generation 2 (Gen2)
RFID standard. Such technology can be used for many of applications and services.

RFID and its implementations in different fields like logistics, animal keeping. Details regarding how it works and what the various components of rfid.
Asset management on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the process of tracking and managing physical assets using RFID technology. RFID tags are attached to assets, and RFID readers and antennas are used to communicate with the tags and collect data about the assets.
RFID tags are attached to assets, and each tag contains a unique identifier. RFID readers and antennas are placed at strategic locations, such as entry and exit points, to detect the tags as they move through the facility. The tag responds with its unique identity once the reader delivers a signal to it. The reader then sends this data to a central database, where it is used to track the location and status of the asset.
My presentation explores how RFID system works and describes briefly about history of RFID, active & passive tags, modes of transmission of data and applications
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Some tags are powered by electromagnetic induction from magnetic fields produced near the reader. Some types collect energy from the interrogating radio waves and act as a passive transponder. Other types have a local power source such as a battery and may operate at hundreds of meters from the reader. Unlike a barcode, the tag does not necessarily need to be within line of sight of the reader and may be embedded in the tracked object. RFID is one method for Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC).[1]
RFID tags are used in many industries. For example, an RFID tag attached to an automobile during production can be used to track its progress through the assembly line; RFID-tagged pharmaceuticals can be tracked through warehouses; and implanting RFID microchips in livestock and pets allows positive identification of animals.
Since RFID tags can be attached to cash, clothing, and possessions, or implanted in animals and people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised serious privacy concerns.[2]
In 2014, the world RFID market is worth $8.89 billion, up from $7.77 billion in 2013 and $6.96 billion in 2012. This includes tags, readers, and software/services for RFID cards, labels, fobs, and all other form factors. The market value is expected to rise to $27.31 billion by 2024.[3]

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
