Book excerpt: Internet 2.0 (previously called the Internet of Things) presents a tantalizing vision of bridging the cyber and physical worlds to forge a seamless planet-wide infrastructure in which cyber resources and physical objects can interact without human intervention. The technology needed to build the infrastructure already exists. However, more than a decade after the vision of Internet 2.0 was articulated, it remains largely unrealized except in isolated settings. Following a background discussion, Design and Construction of an RFID-enabled Infrastructure: the Next Avatar of the Internet addresses three questions: what are the barriers to the emergence of Internet 2.0 as a global infrastructure? What are the features that Internet 2.0 architecture must have if it is to become a successful global infrastructure?How can one build a prototype of Internet 2.0? The quest for answers to the above questions threads the narrative through the birthing process and maturation of two successful global infrastructures—the Internet and the web. Based on a review of the design philosophies underlying the Internet and the Web, their histories and the strategic stewardship that midwifed their births, the book presents the architectural guidelines for the Internet 2.0 infrastructure as well as a blueprint for the construction of its prototype. The discussion in the book is consolidated into a list of technical and strategic guidelines intended to facilitate the incubation of Internet 2.0.

Book excerpt: How RFID, a ubiquitous but often invisible mobile technology, identifies tens of billions of objects as they move through the world. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is ubiquitous but often invisible, a mobile technology used by more people more often than any flashy smartphone app. RFID systems use radio waves to communicate identifying information, transmitting data from a tag that carries data to a reader that accesses the data. RFID tags can be found in credit cards, passports, key fobs, car windshields, subway passes, consumer electronics, tunnel walls, and even human and animal bodies—identifying tens of billions of objects as they move through the world. In this book, Jordan Frith looks at RFID technology and its social impact, bringing into focus a technology that was designed not to be noticed. RFID, with its ability to collect unique information about almost any material object, has been hyped as the most important identification technology since the bar code, the linchpin of the Internet of Things—and also seen (by some evangelical Christians) as a harbinger of the end times. Frith views RFID as an infrastructure of identification that simultaneously functions as an infrastructure of communication. He uses RFID to examine such larger issues as big data, privacy, and surveillance, giving specificity to debates about societal trends. Frith describes how RFID can monitor hand washing in hospitals, change supply chain logistics, communicate wine vintages, and identify rescued pets. He offers an accessible explanation of the technology, looks at privacy concerns, and pushes back against alarmist accounts that exaggerate RFID's capabilities. The increasingly granular practices of identification enabled by RFID and other identification technologies, Frith argues, have become essential to the working of contemporary networks, reshaping the ways we use information.

Download or read book RFID as an Infrastructure written by Yan Qiao and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RFID (radio frequency identification) tags are becoming ubiquitously available in object tracking, access control, and toll payment. The current application model treats tags simply as ID carriers and deals with each tag individually for the purpose of identifying the object that the tag is attached to. The uniqueness of RFID as an Infrastructure is to change the traditional individual view to a collective view that treats universally-deployed tags as a new infrastructure, a new wireless platform on which novel applications can be developed. The book begins with an introduction to the problems of tag estimation and information collection from RFID systems, and explains the challenges. It discusses how to efficiently estimate the number of tags in a large RFID system, considering both energy cost and execution time. It then gives a detailed account on how to collect information from a sensor-augmented RFID network with new designs that significantly reduce execution time.

This book tells the story of RFID and covering all the technical details from beginning to advance concepts. This book takes you from the very foundation of RFID through its architecture and communication technique, read range, and frequency selection. It explains how unique product identification can contributes to better supply chain management. RFID technology provides a means of identifying a person or object using radio frequency transmission. The technology can be used to identify, track, sort, or detect a wide variety of objects. Communication takes place between a reader, also called an interrogator and a transponder often called a tag. Tags can either be active which is powered by a battery or passively powered by the reader radio frequency (RF) field. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 50% of vaccines produced globally lose their efficacy due to the lack of proper temp control, logistics, or shipment-related issues. Today companies are producing smart tags that can attach to a product that integrates light, temperature, humidity sensor, a microcontroller, memory chip that can log data store in memory together with traceability data. Hospitals are now taking advantage of RFID-enabled technology to improve the management of patient and employee safety during the pandemic. The adoption of RFID is accelerating in several sectors from retail, food production, process automation, aviation, manufacturing, and access control. RFID is currently being combined with artificial intelligence (AI) blockchain and data analytics to create even more business value.

Download or read book RFID Enabled Real Time Manufacturing written by George Huang and published by Wiley-Scrivener. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been significant interests in developing and applying RFID technology in manufacturing and supply chain management over the recent years. However, the progress is slow and far behind original mandates. Discussions are still focused on basic questions on reading distances, choice of frequencies, and where readers and tags should be deployed. Less attention has been placed upon the integration of RFID technology into manufacturing and logistics business processes and operations. Nevertheless, a number of exploratory companies have made brave steps in applying RFID technology and many efforts have successfully survived in being introduced into their day-to-day operations. Substantial insights have been accumulated and critical lessons have been learnt from these early successful industrial practices. This book serves as a platform for researchers and industrialists to share these valuable experiences by reporting on industrial case studies. It is hoped that directions for future research applications can be identified from these pioneering cases.
