Abstract

This study focus on the implementation of expiry date detection for medicine using RFID in the health care industry. The motivation for doing this research is the process of searching for the expired medicine is a time consuming and lack of security features included in current NFC implementation. Therefore, the objective of this research is to study the RFID technology used for detecting medicine expiry product and to develop a new system that integrated NFC with authentication feature. Moreover, the problem of current data management for medicine still using manual or barcode system that lead to inconsistency, easy duplication and human error. Here, the NFC is chosen, due to smaller distance of signal coverage, since less interference and the time spending for sniffing activity by the hacker can be reduced. The system is developed using C#, SQLite, Visual Studio, NFC Tag and NFC reader (ACR122U-A9). Experiments have shown that the proposed system has produced medicine expiry date system and only authorized person in charge can monitor the medicine. The impact of the proposed system produces safer, greener and easier environment for better medicine data management. The significance of this study gives a medicine expiry date detection system for health care.

Highlights

  • Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) has been introduced to improve the supply chain process and increase the productivity in various fields

  • User need to click at the “Log in with identification card (ID)” button for the number from the Near Field Communication (NFC) Tag to display the ID number of the NFC Tag

  • If the user is an administrator, the administrator needs to register to the medical staff who is currently working in the department to avoid misconduct of theft activities in the organization

Summary

Introduction

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) has been introduced to improve the supply chain process and increase the productivity in various fields. RFID increases traceability of product through assembly line or warehouses which provides a unique identifier for an object based on magnetic circuit that must be scanned to get the information. Data privacy features and there is some limitation to access the RFID devices. The use of short-range frequency features is to prevent the interference in frequencies which another RFID reader captures information from another RFID reader data of a product or values due to its characteristics of long distance range. In the access control method consists of smart card, biometrics, bar code, QR code and RFID. Each of these technology has its own specialty and limitation. The theoretical taxonomy of the existing systems is illustrated as in Figure 1 and explained in sections of A, B, C and D
