RFID technology based object tracking system

The paper presents the system for tracking objects inside the room based on RFID system and software application returning objects real-time position. RFID system is consisted of Alien 9900 RFID reader, four RFID reader antennas and RFID tags. RFID reader antennas are arranged inside the room in order to provide more precise location of an object. The software application is consisted of a Windows Forms Application and a MySQL database. Database is provided to manage all information about the taged objects based on tag IDs. Windows Forms Application is developed in C# language and using AlienRFID1.dll class library. We are proposing system that allows very precise objects locating in any environment. The preciseness of a system can be increased using more RFID reader antennas. There is also a possibility of integrating the object video presentation module to a software application to facilitate the user to locate objects. Experimental results confirm the basic functionality of the proposed system.
