RFID Microchip Technology and the “Internet of Things” Daniel L. Calloway dan@dancalloway.comCapella University, 225 South 6 th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402 1
Abstract
Radio frequency microchip technology is anew innovation in IT that sprang out of theinvention of the microchip in the early 1950sand the advances this invention brought to(Radio-Frequency Identification) RFIDtechnology that developed in the early 1940s.The implications that RFID technology and,specifically, smart tagging has effected onsociety as a whole and on individualorganizations, through the direct benefits seenby both, are innumerable. The storing,interpreting, and use of relevant informationis becoming the primary concern in the nextdecade due to the increasing merger of analogand digital media, and context. In the nextdecade, RFID smart tags implanted in staticobjects and the development of the RFIDnetwork known as The Internet of Things willallow pervasive computing, ubiquitouscomputing, and sentient computing, totransform our very environment—not just ourcomputers—such that it will become smarterbecause computing power and connectivitywill be embedded into it. Keywords:
RFID, microchip, Radio-Frequency, smart tags, IT innovation
1. Discussion
A review will be made of radiofrequency microchip technology beginningwith a look at this technology from theperspective of its early development andcompared to that of its predecessortechnology, which led to the modern-daytechnology of RFID and the incorporation of smart tags into static objects supporting the Internet of Things paradigm. A look at howRFID smart tagging differs from traditionalbarcodes will also be undertaken. Furtherinvestigation will be conducted into howRFID microchip technology is a

    Originally invented in 1994, by the Denso Wave Corporation in Japan, Quick response codes, or QR codes were intended to for the auto manufacturer Toyota as a means to track vehicles, as well as vehicle parts, during the manufacturing production stages of building their cars. The QR codes were designed to allow Toyota manufactures to identify parts by scanning a two dimensional barcode, or, QR code at high speed. Since its inception in 1994 QR codes have become one of the most popular types of barcode used in Japan. Used primarily through Smart phones, this technology quickly allows consumers to access information contained in the QR code. In recent years the QR barcodes have infiltrated the United States via consumer advertisers and packaging companies. QR codes can be found on direct mail from advertisers, billboards, buses, internet ads, and have even crossed boarders into the healthcare industry (Wikipedia, 2012). Even the Federal Government is adopting the use of QR codes to reduce the risks associated with mistaken personnel identification. The United States Department of Defense has also boosted identification (ID) security of employees by adopting smart ID cards, which are essentially QR codes. Instead of using the traditional ID card with employee photos, the Department of Defense has issued smart ID cards which act much like QR codes, however, they more are more expensive to produce, and require ongoing IT support. Although they are more expensive than a traditional ID card, The Smart ID cards allow for faster verification of personnel, and may ease some of the pressure on security officials who have to use their judgment based on an ID card flashed in their face. With one scan of the QR code, down to the minute, information can be displayed, which includes, authorizations for the employee, or their qualifications and, or credentials. The purpose of this communication is to explain the advantages and disadvantages of participating in a QR code pilot…

    The FDA already requires medical device companies to be able to identify each of the units it produces and distributes by a serial number. These medical device companies need better control of the implants on a consignment basis with hospitals, since returns can occur more than 50 percent of the time. With the new RFID technology that improvement in visibility into returns could possibly enable personnel to quickly and more efficiently locate a crucial piece of equipment and immediately determine its capabilities for use. In the event that a catastrophic error should arise, they would be completely traceable from the manufacturer to the consumer, and the preventative maintenance on equipment could be more accurately tracked. With the RFID tags with read/write capabilities can be used to detect seal integrity for the containers and individual packages. The tag would be able to record the time and duration of the seal loss, allowing even problems that occur in mid-shipment to be detected. For example, since Hospitals currently have to track the radioactive isotopes throughout the facility from storage to transport and from the administration to disposal. These RFID tags and readers would be able to automate these tasks. (Reiner & Sullivan,…

    I have viewed a few websites about Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. It is a very tiny technology and often the size of a grain of rice but now have been shrunk to half the size of a grain of sand! RFID tags are intelligent bar codes that can store up information of either merchandises, pets or farm animals and many more depending on what people want to chip the RFID tags into. These RFID tags also act as a very powerful tracking device, which farmers and owners of pets chipped them into their herbivores and pets. Because of the capability to determine the distance of the tag from the reader position, lost pets and farm animals, as well as RFID tagged items can be easily tracked down. However, the use of RFID tags are arising privacy concerns among the human community.…

    RFID, short for Radio Frequency ID, microchips are identity chips used in a range of applications from identity tagging library books to cars to pets and now more recently, people. In animals and people they are inserted under the skin. RFID chips usually contain two parts: an integrated circuit that stores information and a receiver-transmitter (also called a transponder) that senses when an appropriate scanning device is nearby and then transmits a radio frequency message to the device. The scanner picks up the radio signal and reads the information on the chip.…

    A company is trying to explain why switching to a radio frequency identification device (RFID) system can save money. It will help the company to be on demand operational planning and control. The system could help speed of the process of workflow. Right now the average scan time per items is ten seconds. The ten seconds does not include the employee walking to each location to scan the bar code or replace any demanaged bar code tags. An average replacement of a tag can take as much as five minutes.…

    A human microchip implant is an integrated circuit device, a RFID tag, encased in silicate glass and implanted into a human's body. Such implants are used for information storage, such as personal identification, medical history, medication allergies, and contact information. If the implant is GPS-enabled, it makes it possible for individuals to be physically located by latitude, longitude, speed, and direction of movement. Verichip is one of the devices used for this purpose.…
