- RFID solutions evaluation in industrial container access controlPublication . Silva, Tiago Duque Leite Vieira da; Serrador, António João NunesAbstract Identifying and recording the flow of industrial waste containers through access points can pose significant challenges in industrial environments. Manual registration methods can lead to registration failures that pose risks for a company, particularly for the security of assets and operational efficiency. Thus, the identification of container crossings through the facility’s gateways is essential for reinforcing security measures and optimising operational management in industrial environments. This work investigates the application of passive RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology to address these challenges. A pilot architecture was developed, the most suitable hardware was selected and tested, and the system was installed in a waste management company, supported by a background service for processing and recording tag event data. The system was tested in real conditions with various crossing scenarios. RFID tags were installed on the company’s containers, and their passages through the gateway were monitored. Detection quality and middleware performance were evaluated through transaction statistics. The results show that the passive rigid tags used in the project significantly improve their performance when they have a metal background, increasing their detection capacity from 64% to 100%. It was also concluded that a company can benefit significantly in financial terms as a result of improved operational management and the deterrent effect on theft.
