RFID, NFC and

UHF Technology


• In 2020, global market for RFID tags is projected at around $21.9 billion.

• Tags are key components in today’s increasingly connected and digitized world. RFID tags contribute in the

realm of smart infrastructure such as clothes, cash or pharmaceuticals’ real time identification and tracking.

• RFID technology can be classified as a sub-group of:

Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technologies

• Large-scale commercialization of machine-to-machine (M2M)

communication has stirred a fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0),

and RFID tags are vital to that.

RFID technology is used to achieve

– cost reduction (e.g. higher level of automation)

– turn over increase (e.g. stock-out reduction, better service, grey market control,

safety and security).

Surgical Tool Management (Solution)

RFID tagged tool

• RFID tag is used as a unique ID

• Detailed data analytics are easily

captured and stored

Batch verification

• Wireless technology allows for

efficient batch reading to verify

each tool status

Usage & data capture

Use Case #2: Medical Devices

Endoscope

• Authentication of attachment and individual setting

• Save usage/sterilization

history

• Record usage data

Embedded tag

Electric knife

• Authentication of attachment and individual setting

• Record usage data and

prevent the use beyond the

recommended limit

メス部分Embedded tag

Disposable items

• Authentication to check if authentic product is used

Embedded tag

Need to manually input usage/ sterilization data of attachment during

surgery/ treatment. How to eliminate unauthorized product being used?


!Problem

Market Feedback product’s serial number is reported to production line

Market malfunction is reported to production line for improvement

Rewrite the individual setting based on customer’s requirement

RFID Assemble/ Attachment

Injection molding, glue, press fit, soldering - use information on

tracking in productionprocess

Write the information into user‘smemory

• Serial number (*refer to the serial of main IC)

• Model information, date code, production

information, customer-specific settings, etc.

If any issue happens to

the device, it will be

returned to the warehouse

If nothing happen to the

device, RFID will not be

used.

Warehouse/ Store/ Customer Service

Operator will read the serial number from the outside of

the enclosure

[No need to open the enclosure]

Use Case #3: RMA of Wearable Products

Manufacturing record and device setting are often written inside the products.

Operator needs to open the product to check the serial/ barcode inside. RMA

(Return merchandise authorization) process becomes more time consuming.
