The Internet of Things (IoT) has a lot to offer and contribute to the retail industry, from the innovations in retail store experience to the increased efficiency in the store management and supply chain optimization. On its way to real-world applications, Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) became the main enabler for the final IoT deployment. However, to improve the technology performance even further, it is important to overcome the fundamental limitations of its physical layer and, consequently, to better understand how to use the technology in an optimal way. The analysis provided in this paper employs the simulation/measurement study on RFID technology advancement and the influence of radio propagation in a realistic model of the retail environment. The results are provided for different types of the retail layouts and materials that influence tag responsiveness.
物联网(IoT)能为零售业带来诸多贡献,从零售店体验的创新到店铺管理效率的提升以及供应链优化。在其走向实际应用的过程中,射频识别(RFID)成为最终物联网部署的主要推动者。然而,为了进一步提高技术性能,克服其物理层的基本限制并进而更好地理解如何以最佳方式使用该技术至关重要。本文提供的分析采用了对RFID技术进步以及零售环境实际模型中无线电传播影响的模拟/测量研究。针对影响标签响应性的不同类型零售布局和材料给出了结果。
