Introduction n n SIMS provides a cost effective solution for the management of inventory which leverages RFID technology. Combines an antenna array to a single RFID reader to map out an area for inventory detection
Features n n PC serial interface Compatible with RFID Readers and Antennas Up to 8 outputs per unit Expandable, modular design

PIN Diode Switching Unit (Eliminated) n n Employ PIN Diodes for Switching Great performance for small peak to peak AC signal (low power) Poor performance for large peak to peak AC signal (high power) Introduce impedance mismatch
Power Supply (Main Idea) n n n Supplies +5 Vdc and GND to switch and control units Maximum current: 1 A More stable compared to 5 V from the wall

Factors Influencing Antenna Impedance n n n Orientation Environment (e. g. metals, liquids) Noise n Antenna is operating always in near field since wavelength is 22 meters!
Just about the maximum amount of text on a slide Antenna Recommendations n n Antennae must be placed first, then tuned. May need multiple antennae at one station for more complete coverage (and avoid nulls from environmental factors) Larger antennae for longer reading range Do not completely trust antenna cookbooks because they are unreliable! Buy one antenna first and analyze it.
Software n PERL software n n Takes in user input and sends out two HEX digits through RS 232 serial port (I/O) PIC software n Takes in input from RS 232 serial port and sends logic high to corresponding pins
PERL Software n Serial. pl n Takes in keyboard inputs in HEX n n n Must read header “AF” followed by two HEX digits (e. g. AF 06) Send out input from COM 2 to PIC Checks to see if PIC received correct signal
PIC Software n Switch 0331. hex n n n Takes input from RS 232 and sends logic high to corresponding outputs Will only respond if header “AF” is seen Sends back to PC its output
Room Setup n n Map out room and give coordinates to each antenna For example, antenna B-2 can correspond to the secretary’s desk
Future Hardware Development n n n Improved Switching Unit for longer lifetime and higher signal isolation Increased number of antenna outputs Improved Antenna Design n n Larger loop antenna More stable impedance matching network and BALUN
Future Software Development n n n Friendly user online interface (HTML) Information processing on transponder data Network with central server
RFID Frequency Comparison Frequency Pros Cons LF (100 – 140 KHz; ~2. 5 km) Read Range: ~100 cm MAX Magnetic Inductive Transponders Less susceptible to environment Longer reading range than HF Only usually one transponder can be read at a time Tags bulkier and more expensive than HF ones and less memory capacity HF (13. 56 MHz; ~22 m) Read Range: ~50 cm MAX (current antenna ~25 cm) Magnetic Inductive Transponders Anti-collision intelligence allows multiple of tags to operate concurrently Well defined magnetic field More susceptible to environment Short reading range UHF (860 – 960 MHz; ~33 cm) Read Range: ~9 m MAX Electric (but passive tags) Capacitive Transponders Anti-collision detection Long reading range Not well defined electric field Field nulls near antenna requires complex anti-collision intelligence Tags have less memory capacity
SWOT Analysis of SIMS Strengths: Weakness: Modular design Supports LF and UHF Minimize number of readers Cost effective Short range Susceptible to environmental factors Relay power consumption and lifetime Threats: Opportunities: Smart Shelves RTLS Inventory Management UHF implementation Software Expansion
