RFID: A Diversity of Disciplines & Applications Paul Hartmann General Vice Chair IEEE RFID 2008 RFID: Why now? • One bright result from the bursting of the dot com bubble: The rapid deployment of the Internet and the data infrastructure. • RFID is an Automation Technology – It is the technology that answers the question, “Where is it now?” • RFID relies on the presence of ubiquitous data infrastructure. – Data infrastructure wasn’t built because of RFID. – With data infrastructure in place, the need for RFID is apparent everywhere. 9-Apr-08 IEEE RFID 2008 2 RFID: Design and Applications • RFID systems design cuts across numerous technical areas – RF and Antennas – Communication and Data protocols – Wireless Techniques and Sensors • RFID system applications cut an even wider swath across technologies – Need to locate and identify is a common need in many industry segments. 9-Apr-08 IEEE RFID 2008 3 RFID Application Space Heavy Industry Automotive, Aviation Energy / Utilities Oil, Mining Gov. / Defense Harsh Env.
