Autonomous Sensors in the IoTLooking for Energy Harvesting sources
13
In general, these sources require a very stable source in order to have a good
performance, which is a very difficult requirement to comply with for most real
world applications

What RFID is NOT
A natural power source – RFID reader required to power up sensor tags
An ubiquitous power source – RFID reader needs to be close to the sensor tags
What RFID IS
A reliable source – wireless communication is not dependent on environmental
conditions
A maintenance free solution. Sensor tags can be deployed anywhere without
ever requiring a battery change.

New trends in RFIDDeveloping EPC C1G2 sensor tags
17
Key issues when dealing with UHF RFID sensor tags
EPC C1 G2 is thought for handling ID, not sensors
Compatibility with existing EPC C1G2 readers is a must
Not using custom commands is highly recommended

SummaryUHF RFID as a source of data for the IoT
22
Gathering data from all sorts of items provide great advantage to society.
Issues such as cost of implementation and maintenance need a solution
though.
RFID is a reliable Energy Harvesting source as you can completely
control it.
UHF RFID readers are becoming a nexus between the source data
(sensors) and the cloud, not just ID trackers. Connectivity means to
industrial machinery and user friendly devices will be a must.
