ZigBee Enabled RFID based Tracking System

Sneha Nargundkar, Prabhakar Manage

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is a widely used Auto-ID technology today to identify and track objects and people in manufacturing, inventory management, retailing, and security applications. The ZigBee technology, which is a network communication protocol based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, provides a selforganized mesh network topology with a power-effective, low data rate and multi hop data transmission. We can achieve more efficiency by introducing the ZigBee technology into the existing RFID architectures, such as having extended effective range, improving network flexibility and having compatibility with other ZigBee enabled environment systems. In this paper, we propose a system to track the location of a person using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Technology and notify it to a monitoring PC using wireless ZigBee Technology.
