On each object which has to be identified an RFID chip can be placed, which can be read remotely, this way the contents of e.g. a crate or a pallet can be identified. NFC (Near Field Communication) is a specific application of RFID: establishes radio communication by placing smartphones and similar (mobile) devices near to each other. It makes it possible to use mobile devices to display data of our RFID-based systems, e.g. by placing the device near a terminal in a warehouse.
The IoT Research Institute provides the following services in the field of RFID/NFC technologies:
- R&D and consulting on the applicability of RFID, possible usage in special environments (e.g. metallic environment) in particular
- Consulting on the topic of RFID system establishment
- RFID-based devices and systems
- Hardware design, manufacturing, commission, test
- Software design, development, installation, test
- Mapping of radio-frequency space, measurement of interferences and loads both in the field and in laboratory
Fields of application:
- Automatic identification
- Personal tracking
- Access control and timesheet systems
- Production management and tracking systems
- Logistics
- Library systems
