STUDIES OF PROPERTIES OF RFID TAGS USED IN MECHATRONIC AND LOGISTIC SYSTEMS

Abstract

: The subject of this paper is research task consisting in determining the characteristics of RFID systems in the conditions of variable factors that can be found in the real-world operating conditions of such systems logistic, mechatronic systems Kwasniowski, Zajac, Zajac (2011) - with each of them having its own manufacturer's product sheet. After a brief review of the literature, a research station for typical RFID tags was designed based on the Arduino board; software for communication of both systems was developed using typical software libraries. Subsequently, these systems were activated. A valuable part of the paper is research on the characteristics of the RFID system. Original is the way of conducting the tests, the means of measurement used and the results of tests. The obtained results are interesting, especially the conclusion that the working area declared by the manufacturer is not consistent with the obtained measurement results. The information contained in the summary of the paper may be helpful/useful in planning the use of RFID tags in real-world conditions.
