RFID Consulting - Technical Services

RFID4U's site assessment service provides critical insight that can spell out the difference between a successful and unsuccessful RFID deployment. We will define a wide-variety of deployment variables such as antenna direction and location, power setting, field strength and characterize the electromagnetic environment in your facilities to identify any sources of interference.

A RFID4U site survey constitutes a physical review, analysis, recommendations and report by one of our qualified RFID Engineers of the site where RFID infrastructure and equipment will be installed so that your RFID processes work 100% of the time. The survey provides a complete understanding of your requirements for an RFID installation for your facility and identifies the feasibility of successfully deploying RFID technology. We will determine optimal locations for the physical installation of your RFID readers and antennae, the number of unique RFID Zones you will need and document integration requirements for systems requiring integration with your RFID network.

The site survey will provide equipment quantity, placement recommendations, product brand recommendations, power considerations, and wiring requirements as they relate to your facility. Included with each site survey will be a site survey analysis document, detailing the required location for RFID hardware, the type of cabling to be installed and an outline of how the RFID system will integrate into your existing network. You will receive documentation with detailed recommendations regarding

It is difficult to predict the propagation of radio waves and detect the presence of interfering signals without the use of specialized test equipment. RFID4U uses the latest techniques and equipment like spectrum analyzers to help ensure accurate results and save our clients the time, expense and training needed to acquire and properly use the equipment. We’ll even tag and read your products under actual conditions to confirm our findings.

Site Assessment Details

An RFID4U site assessment is packed with usable information that will help ensure your projects success. An overview includes recommendations for:

The RFID Environment: Number of access points, hubs, routers, switches, bridges, and/or cabling, equipment quantities and placement, RF coverage, interference and power considerations and wiring requirements and recommendations for your facility.
RFID hardware: Number of Fixed or Mobile RFID Readers (RFID Interrogators) confirming to industry standards, Portals, RFID Tunnels, RFID Tables, Antennas, and/or cabling, addressing equipment quantities and placement, RF coverage, interference considerations, power considerations, and wiring requirements for your facility.

Some of the specific tasks RFID4U will perform:

Analyze results of the site survey, prepare and present recommendations
Measure radio characteristics of the facility
Determine placement of new or existing equipment
Survey, identify and document RF interference
Survey and identify power requirement options
Survey existing network topology
Verify host connectivity in the network
Design WLAN for RF coverage and Ethernet segment connectivity into existing network.
Document planned point(s) of connectivity into existing network
Document equipment placement, RF coverage, power requirement considerations, RF interferences, and wiring requirements
Document the configuration of the equipment to be installe
