Evaluation of different technologies -2 D-Code has advantages vs. Barcode -RFID has big advantages vs. 2 D-Code and Barcode -Disadvantage: higher price -Advantage: enhanced functions, performance and efficiency Quelle: Frauenhofer. IML 3

General advantages of RFID • Long life span in continous use and almost maintenance-free readers and/or tags • transponders can be used also into rough environments (water, dirt, dust)/ depending to frequency • Line of sight connection is not necessary, the identification is working also through doors, walls, glass and such a thing. With metallic articles special conditions have to be considered • The identification system can hardly be manipulated • RFID systems can be rewritten and reprogrammed, in order to the new application 4

Comparison RFID vs. Barcode Not recordable rewriteable Direct LOS connection neccessary Radiowave without LOS Errors by dirt/damages High enviromental resitance Read quality approx 95% Read quality > 99, 9% 12 -15 signs several KB Copying easily possible UID worldwide uniquely Only single scan possible Pulk-Read, cheap 5 RFID higher inital costs (depends to application)

RFID in industrial environments Average field interferences vs. frequency possible industrial interferences from engines, drives etc. 6

TURCK Ray Tracer • A software tool simulates the application of UHF systems considering the actual customer‘s operating conditions. • The RFID application, i. e. the selection of system components and the installation parameters will be checked considering the conditions of the environment, respectively. • Very high conformity of the simulation predictions with the system performance in reality yields reliability when planning an UHF RFID installation. 32

RFID antenna coverage • Technically speaking: Ray Tracing determines the UHF-RFID areas of coverage antenna of r/w head UHF area of coverage • Coverage highly depends on the surrounding environment! • Advantage of computer simulation: Planning, adjusting and optimizing an UHF system considering the application conditions at the customer, before the actual on-site testing and rollout are initiated 33

Simulation of coverage for UHF • Computer calculation, based on ray tracing algorithms • Propagation of electromagnetic fields, emitting from the read-write-head 34 P [d. Bm]

Simulation of coverage for UHF P [d. Bm] • The size and area of coverage of the RFID transmission zone depend from obstacles in the environment and the properties of the read-write-head and the tag. • Advantage: Adjusting and configuring the UHF system to onsite application conditions prior to roll-out. 35

TURCK Ray Tracer • Operation of the software will be limited to trained TURCK personnel only. • Decentralized operation in different TURCK braches desired to support UHF system integrations close to on-location. • Central coordination, software maintenance and updates from TURCK Mülheim. • Plans for further development of Ray Tracer for easier use. 36
