Abstract

The radio frequency identification (RFID) technology allows various forms of applications in many industries including construction. and in Korea, RFID has already been adopted for the use in daily labor control, logistics monitoring of ready-mix concrete, supply chain management of long-lead items, such as structural steel members and curtain walls. Even though RFID tags have varied reading performances depending on various factors including material of tracking target and surrounding environment, there is no information on how much the reading performance of an RFID tag can be achieved against a specific construction components or materials. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify the actual reading performance of various RFID technologies and to derive a method to maximize the reading performance for the use in the supply chain management process of curtain wall components.

최근 RFID기술은 산업 전반에서 다양한 형태로 적용되고 있으며, 국내 건설 산업 분야에서도 현장 노무관리 및 레미콘, 철골, 커튼월 등의 물류관리를 위한 적용 기술 개발 및 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 그러나 RFID 기술은 주변 환경 및 자재의 특성에 따라 인식성능의 차이를 보임에도 불구하고, RFID 기술 활용은 이론적인 인식 성능에 근거한 적용방안을 제시하고 있다. 본 연구는 이론적 인식거리, 무반사실 테스트, 현장 테스트를 통해 RFID 기술별 인식 성능 테스트를 하였으며, 일반적으로 현장에서의 인식거리는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 커튼월의 주요 자재인 알루미늄과 유리를 대상으로 정확한 인식 성능 테스트를 실시 비교하였으며, 유리면이나 금속면에 일반 라벨 태그를 부착하였을 경우 유리 전용 태그나 금속 태그를 부착하였을 때에 비해서 인식이 불가능하거나 인식 거리 감소가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위와 같은 테스트를 통해 커튼월에 RFID 기술 적용 시 인식 성능을 최적화하기 위한 고려 요소를 제시하고자 한다.
