Project Proposal Presentation Long Range Inventory RFID System

Project Proposal Presentation: Long Range Inventory RFID System Presented by Raising the Steaks: Jesse Baker, Bryan Dahlqvist, Ashley Hrebik, Santiago Juarez, George Tzintzarov September 1, 2016 Advisor: Dr. Manos Tenzteris Sponsor: Cattle. Time

Introduction • Manual labor to take cattle inventory • Automate this process • Long Range RFID Sensing System • A fully functional system will sell for an estimated $3000 USD market value

System Operation Overview Example use case: rewo. P hgi. H elibore. Mttimsnar. T DIFR GAT

Quantitative Specifications Feature Specification Tag Operating Frequency ~900 MHz Output Power to activate passive tag ≤ 1 W (FCC Max) Read-Range of each RFID tag Up to 5 meters Size of System All aboard a UAV Weight <5 kg Power Source for RFID system Rechargeable battery Battery Life of RFID System > 1 hrs Communication with Database TBD UAV Flight Time Up to 28 mins

Design Approach Maximizing potential of each component of RFID system: ● UAV • Mobility reduces labor time ● Mobile RFID Reader • Maximize signal output power • Aim to improve read-range and accuracy • Adjust for factory settings for signal processing ● Operating system • Data transfer and communication End result: • Recording cattle inventory over large pastures with several herds with ease

Current Status ● Awaiting proposal approval ● Working in lab at Georgia Tech to test read-range of UHF RFID tags ● Getting in contact with John K. for futher information on SDR ● Acquiring borrowed RFID tags and mobile readers from Cattle. Time

Project Schedule ● Hardware testing - Begin Sept 7 • Handheld reader • RFID tags ● Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - Begin Sept 7 • Flight path ● Operating system - Begin Sept 26 • Data processing • System communication ● Field testing - Begin Early October • Working Prototype • Optimization • Demonstration - November 22, 2016 ● Capstone Design Expo - December 6, 2016
