This paper presents smart laundry management system using wireless Radio Frequnecy Identification (RFID) reader for efficient managing a large amount of laundry and clothing. The proposed system is comprised of wireless RFID hanger, base module connected on PC, and server system. The wireless RFID hanger with RFID reader read RFID tag attached on clothes and transmit tag information using wireless communication. The server system manage customers and his clothing using Database (DB) and display the information on the web page and smart phone devices. Since the proposed system operates with battery, we can evaluate its lifetime to measure current consumption. The designed system can be utilized to manage quantities of clothes and also it will be a good service to improve efficiency of laundry process.

In this paper, we have developed RFID systems with integrated tag location data for efficient logistics information systems. These are consist of RFID readers with GPS module and RFID networks to service tag location data. The developed RFID readers can get location informations Of the tags, transfer them high speed by TCP/IP protocols, and operate as web servers. And we presented a simple service network system based on EPC network to service both location and tag data. The proposed system can be applicable to tracebility or finding locations of the products.

본 논문에서는 단일리더기가 아닌 멀티리더기를 이용하여 리더기들간의 상호 협동작업을 통하여 일정한 속도로 이동하는 태그를 최대한 많이 읽을 수 있는 멀티리더기들간의 협업을 이용한 향상된 태그인식 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 즉, 두 개의 리더기를 사용하여 많은 양의 태그가 서로 다른 이동 속도로 리더기를 지나 갈 때, 첫 번째 리더기가 저장해 놓은 태그정보를 두 번째 리더기가 이어받아 계속하여 나머지 태그를 인식하는 알고리즘을 개발한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 멀티리더기를 이용하면 단일리더기의 단점을 극복하여 보다 향상된 태그 인식 결과를 얻어내어 좀 더 안정적이고 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

If multiple Tags in the RFID System transmit their IDs to the Reader at the same time, tag identification time is delayed due to collisions. Therefore, to reduce the reader's identification time, an efficient anti-collision technology is needed. In this paper, we propose a hybrid anti-collision method based on the QT and DFSA. Then, the performances of proposed method are compared with the existing method through extensive simulations.

More recently, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems have begun to find greater use in various industrial fields. The use of RFID system in these application domains has been promoted by efforts to develop the RFID tags which are low in cost, small in size, and high in performance. The RFID applications enable the real-time capture and update of RFID tag information, while simultaneously allowing business process change through real-time alerting and alarms. These be developed to monitor person or objects with RFID tags in a place and to provide visibility and traceability of the seamless flows of RFID tags. In this time, the RFID readers should be placed in diverse locations, the RFID flows between these readers can be tested based on various scenarios. However, due to the high cost of RFID readers, it may be difficult to prepare the similar environment equipped with RFID read/write devices. In this paper, we propose a simulator to allow RFID application testing without installing physical devices. It can model the RFID deployment environment, place various RFID readers and sensors on this model, and move the RFID tags through the business processes. This simulator can improve the software development productivity by accurately testing RFID middleware and applications. In addition, when data security cannot be ensured by any fault, it can decide where the problem is occurred between RFID hardware and middleware.

최근 넓은 창고에서 물품들을 좀 더 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)를 이용한 창고관리시스템(Warehouse Management System)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 창고관리시스템에서 중요한 요소 중 하나는 물품의 정확한 위치파악이다. 특히 냉동 창고에서는 물품 보관을 하는 coldroom의 안팎 온도차이로 인한 물품의 적재위치 오류는 물품의 변질을 가져오게 하므로 실시간 정확한 위치를 파악하는 것이 중요한 요소가 된다. 기존의 연구방법들에서는 coldroom 입구에 RFID리더기를 설치하여 물품이 인식될 때 단지 그곳에 적재되는 것으로 인식하였다. 그러나 이러한 방법으로는 물품이 coldroom으로 들어가다 다시 돌아 나오는 경우, 반대로 물품이 밖으로 나가다 다시 들어오는 경우 등과 같은 상황에서는 물품의 위치가 잘못된 정보를 가지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 냉동 창고관리시스템에서 2대의 RFID리더기가 설치된 지게차를 이용하여 물품의 적재위치 정확성을 높이기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 지게차에 설치된 2개의 RFID리더기는 각각 천장에 부착된 태그로부터 위치데이터와 지게차에 적재된 물품데이터를 획득한다. 2개의 리더기로부터 수집된 데이터를 분석하여 물품의 입/출고 상황정보와 물품의 이동경로정보를 실시간으로 모니터링 할수 있다. 이를 통해 실시간 냉동 창고 적재위치 오류를 감지해 냄으로써 냉동 창고관리시스템의 물품보관에 대한 효율성을 높일 수 있게 된다.

This study has designed a circular polarization antenna for UHF bandwidth RFID reader. As a result of performance test of the antenna designed it is found that return loss (S11) is about -45.529dB at 914MHz, which is relatively small, and antenna gain is about 6.09dBi. It has also been confirmed that $50{\Omega}$ impedance matching is about $50.48{$\Omega}$ and it can be applied to every RFID reader. Therefore, the antenna is designed to have higher gain of circular polarization by improving reception, which is one of the most important parameters of RFID reader and is expected to be extensively used to recognize multi-tag in the distance.

When multiple Tags transmit their IDs to the Reader, tag identification time is delayed due to collisions. Therefore, to reduce the reader's identification time, an efficient anti-collision technology is needed. In this paper, a new anti-collision method is proposed. The method estimates the number of tags and allocates proper number of slots based on the DFSA. The performance of proposed method is compared with existing methods through extensive simulations.

In this study, travel time data collection of mine equipments was conducted in an underground mine using a reverse Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) system. In the reverse RFID system, RFID readers and antennas are mounted on mine equipments, and RFID tags are attached to the underground mine gallery. Indoor experiments were performed to analyze how RFID reader transmission power levels affect tag readable area and tag recognition rates. The results showed that travel time measurement become precise when the reader transmission power was reduced, however tag recognition rates were reduced. The field experiments indicated that setting the reader transmission power to 28 dBm maintained the tag recognition rate while minimizing the tracking location error. In addition, the results revealed that the reverse RFID system can be used successfully in an underground mine to collect the travel time data of haulage trucks.
