Research on Long Distance Radio Frequency Identification System of Toolholder

Abstract

Considering the difficulty in identifying the tool system in the process of tool management, this paper proposes a design of toolholder identification system which is capable of storing all tool date using commercially available radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The system is composed of radio frequency electronic tags, ultra high frequency reader and computer identification system. The paper gives the hardware and software design of toolholder identification system.
