Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Multi-Reader/Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA) Publisher Software Documentation

Abstract

The RFID Multi-Reader tool is a configurable software package for reading radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags using multiple RFID devices, each with multiple antennae. The detection of an RFID tag is posted as an event message containing the RFID tag data and antenna location and orientation on an Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA) network. The tool can be configured for simultaneous use with multiple RFID tag readers of varying models/manufacturers at various locations. Each RFID reader can be further configured to have multiple antennae at various locations. This report describes the functions of the RFID Multi-Reader tool and provides installation instructions and configuration examples for the tool. In addition, the RFID Multi-Reader tool can be configured to store the RFID event messages to a file in a human-readable format or, when configured for playback, the software can read the event messages from a text file.
