The thesis focuses on the topic of tracking products by means of RFID technology. We thoroughly explored the possibility of the application of RFID technology and the existing mechanical and software RFID equipment in the process of automatic reading and recording data in the manufacturing process of transporting pallets and products on pallets. In the first part we provided a detailed description of RFID technology and the applied RFID system with its key components and software. Theoretically we measured the relative speed of the tag which is carried along the reader. Furthermore, we produced the testing area needed to conduct the measurements. We analysed the effect of the remoteness of the tag from the reader on detecting and we also determined the limit values of the remoteness and the speed of the tag. We finally wrote a programme for automatic reading and data recording and conducted an experiment. The final outcome of the thesis represents the determination of the area of detection, in particular the functionality of RFID system.
