Radio Frequency Technology - Best Security System to Identify Illicit Shifting of Goods
Most storage units today utilize the Radio Frequency Technology, an effective tool that keeps belongings secure. Tiny RFID tags are used in this security system to monitor your belongings effectively. These tags are attached to every item you store. Door scanners recognize RFID tags immediately and give you an indication about illegitimate shifting of merchandise. An alarm rings in case your goods are moved from one place to another

Instead, people would rather just purchase the same item again because it is more convenient for them to go to the store and purchase the item new, this also causes people to increase the number of things they
Always Lock Your Storage Unit: You would be surprised how many people leave their storage units completely unlocked, available for anyone to walk in and grab what they want. Every time you leave your storage space unattended, be sure to lock it. For extra security, use a heavy duty disc lock, which is designed to prevent lock cutting. Thieves are not going to waste time trying to break into a well-secured
As the owner of a business, you are responsible for overseeing numerous things to ensure its safe and efficient operation. With data breaches being such a big concern today, some owners get so wrapped up in online security that they forget that a safe and secure business actually depends quite a bit on what is being done to protect it physically. Without the security of commercial doors, gate automation, and access control systems, your business may be at a high risk for theft, vandalism, or other criminal activity. Automatic Door Specialists, Inc., the number one door installation company in Waipahu, HI, offers all the solutions you need to achieve the ultimate level of protection.
This paper outlines the cost‐benefit analysis of using Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in an asset‐tracking application. To facilitate the analysis, RFID will be compared against the incumbent technology, bar‐coding. An experiment comparing these two technologies was conducted, and the findings from this experiment are further analysed.
Self-Storage units is described by the dictionary as pertaining to a warehouse or other facility that rents or units to people for storing personal possessions (Dictionary.com, 2015). Self-Storage industry primarily engages in renting or leasing space for self-storage. These establishments provide secure space (i.e., rooms, compartments, lockers, containers, or outdoor space) where clients can store and retrieve their goods (Codes, 2015).
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) should implement radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags in the airport’s baggage-handling operations for a variety of reasons. First, implementing this system will be beneficial to airport workers, travelers, and the airlines. Second, the cost of lost luggage fees and millions of dollars being spent in reimbursements will be significantly reduced. Third, the overall control of luggage will be more efficient and effective. Fourth, traveler satisfaction will improve, as the luggage process will be hassle free.
RFID, or radio frequency identification, is the new system that is replacing the use of barcodes. RFID tags allow users to more quickly obtain information from the object that the RFID tag

Making a door lock has many things to do and it can be produced by some computer-related system. One of which is by utilizing the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card. The use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a bar code like technology that allows for data to be transmitted from a radio frequency card to compatible reader. Radio frequency tags/card can be passive in nature, deriving their power from the very radio frequencies used by a reader to locate them. It can be made to look like postage stamp sized stickers, and can be attached to any number of things. Wallmart, the United States retail giant, has decided to put radio frequency identification tags on all of the products it sells. RFID tags are also used for automated payment on highways. In the mobile phone world, RFID tags could be used to load a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) from a
This project proposes a complete asset management system for the warehouses and stores to efficiently record, manage and track the products kept in the store. This unified solution can help the company record appropriate need, security, and statistical data, which can be used to create more efficient asset management protocols. This system employs multiple technologies: An RFID reader, RS-232 communication, UART, LCD Interface, a microcontroller, EPROM, and GSM communication; all of these technologies are described in details. When the RFID tag is in the range of reader, asset data is read by the RFID reader and transmitted to the microcontroller via RS-232 communication. The microcontroller takes this data and asks to store
RFID is being used in supply chain. It is used in movement of product. In 1999 Prof. David Brock and Prof. Sanjay Sarma had been doing some research for decreasing cost on RFID tags on all products that are made to track them through the
