Purpose of this thesis is to research the current state and directives of passive RFID technologies in respect to item management and inventory tracking applications. The objective is also to propose the implementation of the inventory tracking of a multi-drawer workshop trolley.
The first two chapters deal with introduction to RFID and it's history. The fundamental of RFID systems are presented: basic elements and principles of operation, multiple access techniques and the importance of standards, regulations. The chapter three and four overview currently most adopted and established international standards in the field of passive high frequency (HF) and ultrahigh frequency (UHF) RFID technology. The chapter five deals with feasibility of implementing RFID technology for item management by examining the most frequent challenges, experienced when implementing in real environment. Chapter 6 is concerned with challenges, problems and solutions of applying passive HF and UHF RFID technology to a multi-drawer workshop trolley; concluding with comparison and adequacy of those two technologies for the suggested application.
