Summary Reader Response draft 3 : RFID system

Hamadneh et al. (1970), in their article "Uncertain Supply Chain Management: The benefits and challenges of RFID technology implementation in supply chain: A case study from the Turkish construction sector." describes radio frequency identification (RFID) as a technology that automates data collection and identification utilizing electromagnetic fields. It consists of only three components; tags emitting signals, readers, and software for data storage. The tags can exist as passive, active, or semi-active, each offering distinct advantages in terms of read range, lifespan, and functionality(Amsler & Shea, 2021) The origins of RFID can be traced back as early as World War II, which was used to identify planes on radar, determining who was friend or foe. However, the first patented RFID technology was claimed in 1973 by an entrepreneur, Charles Walton, for a passive transponder embedded in cards to unlock doors without using keys (Goldberg, 2020). Now in the modern times o...

According to Hamadneh et al. (2021), in their article "Un certain Supply Chain Management The benefits and challenges of RFID technology implementation in supply chain: A case study from the Turkish construction sector.", ra dio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that automates data collection and identification which uses electromagnetic fields. The system consists of only three components; a tag that emits signals, a reader to read the signals and a software that stores the data of the tag and object. The tags can exist as passive, active, or battery-assisted passive (BAP), each offering distinct advantages in terms of read range, lifespan, and functionality and the readers can be either fixed or portable (Garcia & Martinez, 2017). The origins of RFID can be traced back as early as World War II, which was used to identify planes on radar, determining who was friend or foe.

Summary Reader Response draft 1: RFID system

  According to Hamadneh et al. (n.d.), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that automates data collection and identification, it uses electromagnetic fields to identify, record and track objects. The system consists of three components; a tag that sends out signals, a reader to read the signals and a software that stores the information. RFID tags can be passive, active, or battery-assisted passive (BAP), each offering distinct advantages in terms of read range, lifespan, and functionality (Garcia & Martinez, 2017). The origins of RFID can be traced back to World War II, which was used to identify planes on radar. However, the first patented RFID technology was claimed in 1973 by an entrepreneur, Charles Walton, for a passive transponder used to unlock doors without keys. (Violino, 2005) Groom et al.(2021) states that RFID is commonly used in retail to keep track of inventory, pets or even people in sporting events. NFC, short range RFID tag, is a popular and ...
