It's elearning week this week which we don't have to attend school.
Mr Cheng wants us to read about how RFID-Enabled Lift-Truck Solution Eliminates Operator Scanning.
Quoted from the web: When a lift-truck operator moves something, they typically have to do at least three manual points of data entry, either by bar code scan or keyboard. Rush Tracking Systems claims that an RFID enabled lift-truck can perform the same move operation without any human intervention.
I've watched the videos and yeah, it's amazing.

For week 5, we were being taught of using RFID technology in access control.
Miss PohYen was there to guide us through the practical.
First of all, she explained the system to us like pressing which buttons etc.
It works like a lift!
Then we were given some codings to type to make the program work.
We were also given the Sony Felica Driver to scan the 'ezlink card'.
It's so amazing how it can read the card's ID!
Now i know how a lift actually works :)
Lastly, i tried to google and found this...
Wow it works like wonders!

For week 4, we went to the AeroScount Centre to attend our lesson by Mr Peter.
The lesson is about using RFID technology to track outdoor assets.
One of the example of such tracking system will be in the automotive manufacturing industry.
We were given shown of some items..
Initially we are supposed to do an experiment on it, but the weather doesn't help thus it's cancelled.
Hope there will be a chance next time!

For week 3, we had a practical lesson assisted by Miss Li Yan.
We are being taught on the passives tags, HF and UHF...
As our group was the first group, thus we started off doing the practical first.
We are given some HF tags and we need to hold it high and lower it down to measure the exact distance when the tag was being detected.
We also tried to stick a tag onto a metal, which cannot be detected.
Next, we tried to scan the barcodes and took down the timing to scan the 6 items.
One of them was stick onto a metal, thus the UHF can't be detected.
Overall, it was a good experience because i can do the experiment hands on!

This week...
I was taught on the RFID case studies.
One of the case studies was about the national libraries in singapore.
Eeew the pictures above are kinda turn off right?
In the past, they used to have old&tattered books, long queues and untidy shelves.
But now!
With the RFID technology, life has been really much easier for us.
We can find the borrowing/returning books machines using RFID in the library.
It certainly saves time, cost, and manpower.
We can also scan or search the books easily and need not find it one by one.
Imagine that without this amazing technology, would we even visit the library often?
NO!
There's also this smart shelves technology at sengkang library.
Omg and since i stay in sengkang, i'm so gonna drop by there to take a look at this wonderful creation by RFID!!
Will try to take piccas of it and upload to here soon ya ;)
And not forgetting this!
RFID helps them to save a total of 8 billion dollars just because of the RFID tags on the shipping crates and pallets!!
I'm more and more into this module because of the wonderful and amazing technology already =)
