The Research of IoT Based on RFID Technology

Internet of Things is the third wave of global information industry following computer, the Internet and mobile communication network. The International Telecommunication Union proposes four key application technologies of IoT: RFID technology, sensor technology, smart technology and Nano technology. RFID technology, which is short for radio frequency identification, is introduced in this paper. The background, connotation and architecture of IoT is firstly presented, then is the RFID technology, including its components, principles and standards. On the basis of it, applications of IoT system bases on RFID technology is presented, such as product line and logistics management, food security supervision, hospital assets, personnel and container management, and monitoring for miners. Among these, EPC IoT system is specially outlined, which is composed of RFID hardware, Savant middleware and the Internet system. Lastly, the development of RFID technology in our country is presented. Although there are some difficulties at present, we believe that RFID technology will be further developed and innovated to provide more convenient services for users in the future.
