Abstract
RFID-based Smart cabinets can make a recognition error owing to the electromagnetic wave interference. This paper proposes and implements a smart cabinet system for inventory management using RFID, especially which can be applied to biological laboratories. We calculate the optimal value of partition distance for the higher recognition rate between RFID tags and the reader, and the optimal partition thickness for electromagnetic wave absorption to achieve the higher recognition rate, in which two kinds of the partitions have been tested, a pure steel partition with various thickness and a thin steel partition attached with electromagnetic waves absorber. The experimental results show that the most recommended partition structure for the smart cabinets is one with the partition distance of 30cm and the partition thickness of 1mm attached with the electromagnetic wave absorption tapes.
