15.4.1 The Technological Infrastructure
Several RFID-enabled scenarios were tested in a university-based laboratory (Figure 15.5).
The physical ?¬‚ow of products as depicted by the solid black arrows starts with a
conveyor equipped with two antennas, one photo eye, and one light stack (top left side
of Figure 15.5): this set-up simulates the picking process in the focal ?¬?rm DC. The function
of the photo eye is to automatically detect products equipped with an RFID tag and trigger
the activation of the two ?¬?xed antennas thus allowing the antennas to be awaken and
transmit radio waves when necessary.
