Autonomous Sensors in the IoTLooking for Energy Harvesting sources

13

In general, these sources require a very stable source in order to have a good

performance, which is a very difficult requirement to comply with for most real

world applications

New trends in RFIDRFID as an alternative Energy Harvesting source

15

What RFID is NOT

A natural power source – RFID reader required to power up sensor tags

An ubiquitous power source – RFID reader needs to be close to the sensor tags

What RFID IS

A reliable source – wireless communication is not dependent on environmental

conditions

A maintenance free solution. Sensor tags can be deployed anywhere without

ever requiring a battery change.

New trends in RFIDDeveloping EPC C1G2 sensor tags

17

Key issues when dealing with UHF RFID sensor tags

EPC C1 G2 is thought for handling ID, not sensors

Compatibility with existing EPC C1G2 readers is a must

Not using custom commands is highly recommended

SummaryUHF RFID as a source of data for the IoT

22

Gathering data from all sorts of items provide great advantage to society.

Issues such as cost of implementation and maintenance need a solution

though.

RFID is a reliable Energy Harvesting source as you can completely

control it.

UHF RFID readers are becoming a nexus between the source data

(sensors) and the cloud, not just ID trackers. Connectivity means to

industrial machinery and user friendly devices will be a must.
