RFID
for person & object reco­gni­tion

Inte­grate RFID func­tion­a­lity in your projects!

Our RFID readers feature LED feed­back and a custo­mizable printed surface.
The RFID readers reliably iden­tify individual objects with inte­grated RFID tags (e.g. admis­sion tickets, exhibits, etc.).
We recom­mend the NeuroomNet RFID module for control­ling the devices. This allows management of valid RFID tags as well as proces­sing and routing of IDs to imple­ment tail­ored opera­tions.

Instal­la­tion vari­ants of RFID readers

Our RFID readers can be recessed flat and adapted to the envi­ron­ment using individual prin­ting. The feed­back of the built-in LED ring can also be adjusted.
RFID readers can be installed in various ways:

In coope­ra­tion with furni­ture manu­fac­tu­rers, for example, it is possible to realize a recessed version in which a suitable opening is milled into the cover mate­rial in order to insert the RFID reader.
Another variant is to place the reader on top. On the one hand, this makes instal­la­tion more flexible, and on the other hand, the reader can also be used in places where it needs to be more mobile, e.g. at a checkout desk. There, the reader can be placed alter­na­tely under or on top of the counter, depen­ding on whether employees or custo­mers want to scan an RFID tag.

Appli­ca­tion examples

Read on to find out how RFID can be used in exhi­bi­tions, show­rooms, museums and more!

Object reco­gni­tion using RFID readers in museums, science centers, or exhi­bi­tions

Since an RFID system is very robust and trans­pon­ders are available in all possible vari­ants (e.g. as plastic nails), it can also be used in areas where the tangible experience is the main focus.
For example, RFID tags can be accom­mo­dated in moving exhibits. If a visitor now places this object on a reader, corre­spon­ding information can be started in the form of audio or video contri­bu­tions.

Custo­mized presen­ta­tion for visitors

One example of the many possible appli­ca­tions of RFID tech­no­logy is the RFID system used in the German Steam Loco­mo­tive Museum in Neuen­markt, Fran­conia.
Here, each visitor is equipped with an admis­sion ticket that has an inte­grated trans­ponder.
This allows visitors to be iden­ti­fied at the individual information stations (without personal data and, of course, volun­t­a­rily). The facts about the exhibits can be tail­ored to the respec­tive visitors, i.e. they receive information that corre­sponds to their level of know­ledge.
The German Steam Loco­mo­tive Museum ther­e­fore offers visitors the oppor­tu­nity to indi­cate their level of know­ledge and language before starting the tour. So, they place their trans­ponder on an RFID reader and use a touch­screen to select “German, English, or French” and “Expert, Advanced, or Beginner.” This information is stored in the data­base.
When a visitor is stan­ding in front of an exhibit, they simply swipe their trans­ponder card over a built-in reader and receive information in the appro­priate language and at their respec­tive skill level (beginner, advanced, expert).
After the visitor has completed the tour of the exhi­bi­tion and returned the ticket, the data record is deleted. This allows the trans­ponder to be reused for the next person.
Of course, this does not exhaust the range of appli­ca­tions that an RFID imple­men­ta­tion with our system offers. For example, visitors could assign their email address to the trans­ponder and thus receive information about the exhibits they have visited on request.

Experience exhi­bi­tions actively

With an RFID system, you can promote inter­ac­ti­vity between the exhi­bi­tion and visitors.

 

The possi­bi­li­ties:

  • Stations can offer visitors individually tail­ored content
  • Visitors can create and display their own content on exhibits
  • Visitors can access their own digital content from home

 

How this works concep­tually and tech­ni­cally is explained in detail in the article on the right!

What is RFID?

The acronym RFID stands for radio-frequency identification, i.e. identification with elec­tro­ma­gnetic waves. This describes tech­no­logy that enables the cont­act­less and auto­matic identification and loca­liza­tion of living beings and/or objects within a trans­mitter-receiver system using radio waves.
The compon­ents of an RFID system are, on the one hand, the trans­ponder or radio tag, which contains an iden­ti­fying code. This is located on the object or living being. Zum Anderen wird ein Lese­gerät benö­tigt, das den Code auslesen kann.
Die Größe von RFID-Trans­pon­dern kann je nach Bedarf vari­ieren. So werden zum Beispiel bei Haus­tieren RFID-Trans­ponder implan­tiert, die kaum größer als ein Reis­korn sind.
Eine beson­ders güns­tige Möglich­keit besteht außerdem in einem Verfahren, das die Trans­ponder mit stabilen Schal­tungen aus Poly­meren drucken lässt. This allows the size and also the price of the trans­pon­ders to be further reduced, as well as making the reading of the devices more inconspicuous.

Product RFID Reader

rfid reader chassis with led ring, programmable led lights and colors

Inte­grate RFID func­tion­a­lity in your projects!

The reader can iden­tify individual objects (admis­sion tickets, exhibits, etc.) using tags so that individual responses can be made.

Hard­ware

The network-enabled RFID readers commu­ni­cate with the soft­ware module using their IP address. Thanks to the PoE (Power over Ethernet) capa­bi­lity, a CAT5 connec­tion is suffi­cient for each reader, which mini­mizes the instal­la­tion effort.
A reader can be installed directly in a stan­dard instal­la­tion box or “invi­sibly” behind glass or wood.

Soft­ware

The RFID Provider from NeuroomNet commu­ni­cates with the readers via a network. The IDs of the tags used can simply be passed on to the media control system or previously linked to entries from the data­base.
