Radio frequency identification (RFID)
technology can automatically and inexpensively track
items as they are moved through the supply chain. This
can automate the whole updating and management
system, thereby making the system work with a much
smaller workforce and reducing the error that can occur
because of interference by human beings. One of the
major advantages RFID provides is that it does not
require direct physical contact with the objects and also
does not require the object to be placed in its ‘Line‐of‐
Sight’. This has given it an edge over other auto‐
identification systems, like bar‐codes. The recent
proliferation of RFID tags and readers would require
dedicated and very efficient middleware solutions that
manage readers and process the vast amount of captured
data according to the need of various applications. RFID
middleware is the software sitting in between various
RFID readers and the enterprise applications. Extracting
meaningful information out of huge amount of scan data
is a challenging task. In this paper we like to analyze the
requirements and propose a design for such an RFID
middleware. This paper demonstrates how to enable the
middleware to handle a large amount of RFID scan data
and execute business rules in real‐time. The conventional
existing middleware solutions show dramatic
degradation in their performance when the number of
simultaneously working readers increases. Our proposed
solution tries to recover from that situation also. One of
the major issues for large scale deployment of RFID
systems is the design of a robust and flexible middleware
system to interface various applications to the RFID
readers. Most of the existing RFID middleware systems
are costly, bulky, non‐portable and heavily dependent on
the support software. Our work also provides flexibility
for easy addition and removal of applications and
hardware.
