RFID-based Animal Tracking Management System

The RFID-based animal identification and tracking management system consists of three parts: RFID radio frequency card, RFID reader writer and computer network. The reader is generally used as a computer terminal to implement data reading and writing and storage of the RFID radio frequency card. It is composed of a control unit, a high frequency communication module and an antenna.

When a pig with a "ear stud" (RFID card) enters the RF field of the reader, the induced current obtained by UHF RFID antenna is boosted by the booster circuit and used as the power source of the chip, and the induced current with information is passed through the RF. The front-end circuit detects that the digital signal is sent to the logic control circuit for information processing; the information required to be recovered is retrieved from the memory and sent back to the RF front-end circuit via the logic control circuit, and finally sent back to the reader through the antenna.

At present, the basic methods for installing electronic labels for animals are collar type, ear tag (nail) type, injection type and pill type electronic label, and various labels have their own characteristics and application range. The cost of the collar label is too high, and the injected label and the pill label are not suitable for the pig, so the system uses a "stud" type electronic label. Stud-type electronic tags not only store more data, but also resist dirt and rain.


There are two types of RFID tag readers used in this system: one is a fixed reader; the other is a hand-held reader, see Figure 2. The main difference between the fixed RFID reader and the handheld reader is that the handheld reader can input the information to the system software platform through the USB interface or COM port of the PC after reading a large amount of RFID tag information. in. The fixed reader is transmitted to the software platform in real time after reading the RFID tag information, and is not stored in the reader.

Public Hospital in Zhejiang Accelerates the Upgrade of RFID Material Management Solutions

A few days ago, the General Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government released the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Public Hospitals in Zhejiang Province", which clearly stated that "the operation mode has shifted from extensive management to refined management" and "doing reasonable use of medicines, monitoring of medical consumables and medical core data”, which put forward new requirements for the management mode of consumables in public hospitals. In 2019, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University College of Medicine introduced the SPD model for hospital ma terial management . The "smart update" was carried out on the previous SPD model. The hospital fully combined the latest technological means such as the Internet of Things, robots, artificial intelligence, big data, and image recognition to create a new "IF-SPD" model. The overall construction of "IF-SPD" inc...

Introduction of UHF RFID Reader System

  There are four important components to make up a UHF RFID system, the host computer, the reader, the antenna and the electronic label. The host computer sends a command to the reader, the reader turns on the RF module to send UHF signals under the control of the host computer commands, a magnetic field is created around the RFID tag by means of an antenna. When the magnetic field is strong enough, the chip circuit inside of the tag is activated, then the tag carries information is loaded into the electromagnetic wave and returned to the reader. The reader receives and converts the data information, then processed by the upper computer, complete the process of acquiring electronic tag information. Host computer The UHF RFID reader requires the host computer to issue control instructions which can start the reader to send RF signals, the reader receives the signal returned by the tag also needs to be processed and stored by the host computer that can achieve the n...

What is the Difference Between HF and UHF RFID Technology

From the perspective of technological development, high-frequency technology is relatively mature than UHF technology. Through continuous improvement and improvement, a learning curve model for high-frequency tag production, data protocol sharing, and the basis for constructing RFID applications has also been established. Both high frequency and ultra high frequency RFID systems rely heavily on the communication environment between the RFID reader and the tag. UHF uses the principle of electromagnetic emission and is therefore more susceptible to electromagnetic interference. At the same time, the metal will reflect the signal, and the water will absorb the signal, all of which will interfere with the normal function of the tag. The International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission established the ISO/IEC, 15693 standard in 1999 to regulate the implementation of high frequency radio frequency identification technology.
