What is RFID?
We
are quite familiar with the phrase “Radio Frequency Identification,” RFID.
The RFID technology uses electromagnetic fields to transmit data from an RFID tag to a
reader, providing accurate, real-time tracking information. Unlike barcode
scanners, RFID readers do not require to be pointed directly at a tag to get
scanned. Instead, employees using RFID can get scan which is accurate even if
scanned from several meters away and process multiple scans in seconds. The RFID technology has been widely used since the later phase of the 1970s and
recently many more consumer applications are emerging especially for events and
asset tracking.
The RFID system consists of two
types of devices: RFID readers and RFID tags. The RFID reader is a device used
to gather information from an RFID tag, which is used to track individual
objects. Data from the tag is transferred via radio waves to a reader. A tag
consists of two parts chip and an antenna respectively. The chip stores and
processes information. The communication between the antenna of chip & the
reader is carried out using the radio signal.
What does RFID mean for events?
There are many ways event
creators can use RFID to streamline the event experience and allow for better
data capture. The main applications of RFID for events are:
1.
Entry to the Event:
As RFID equipment’s like
readers and Tags are used to capture and read data faster, entry to an event is
easy in comparison to other electronic scanners. Even staff doesn’t need any
kind of training to use it, because RFID equipment lights up green for go and
red for stop – simple for security to process. Even Parking management also
becomes easier through RFID tags and readers.
2.
Flexible access control:
Grant access faster, restricted
access to specific zones (like VIP areas or conference sessions) where only a
few of your overall attendee base should be allowed into for specific purposes.
3.
Data collection
RFID technology gives real-time
insight into the movement of attendees through events. This can help you make
in-the-moment decisions required if any problem arises such as “We need another
entry lane”.
4.
No scope of fraud
RFID chips have an extra layer
of security that makes them nearly impossible to duplicate, which means no more
fraud can be done.
Types of RFID solution provided by IDCUBE for various industries:
- IDLR 12 Long range reader
High-speed performance UHF reader for long-distance (up to 12m) access control, identification, and
authentication process.
- IDLR 06 Medium range reader
High-speed performance UHF
reader for long-distance (up to 6m) access control, identification, and
authentication process.
- IDLR 01 RFID Tag encoder
Easy to install, comply with
ISO18000-6C EPC Gen 2 protocol with an operating range of 860-960MHz and
configure RFID tags with client-specific data.
- ASSA Tag (Tamper Proof)
RFID, UHF card which is
specially meant for vehicles & metal assets to ensure that they are not
stolen/ tampered by any unauthorized user.
- ASSA Tag (PVC)
UHF, reliable and easy-to-carry
smart card.
- ASSA Tag (PVC Dual)
UHF card, that is a reliable
and easy-to-carry smart card.
- Protean VBOX
This is a standalone IP based
controller, specially designed to control vehicle access to residential &
corporate parking lots. It comes with an in-built web server for easy plug and
plays installation. It is designed to eliminate problems faced by system
Integrators while installing and operating typical Wiegand based controllers
and Long-Range Readers.
Conclusion
It is a key challenge for
almost any business to manage and locate important assets. Time spent in
searching for critical equipment can lead to expensive delays or downtime,
missed deadlines and customer commitments, and wasted labor. Companies have earlier solved
this problem by managing assets using unique serial numbers and spreadsheets or
tracking equipment with barcode labels. However, both methods require a good
amount of manual labor. One way to improve asset management is by utilizing
radio frequency identification (RFID) solution to automatically track your
expensive movable or immovable assets.
