• In 2020, global market for RFID tags is projected at around $21.9 billion.
• Tags are key components in today’s increasingly connected and digitized world. RFID tags contribute in the
realm of smart infrastructure such as clothes, cash or pharmaceuticals’ real time identification and tracking.
• RFID technology can be classified as a sub-group of:
Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technologies
• Large-scale commercialization of machine-to-machine (M2M)
communication has stirred a fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0),
and RFID tags are vital to that.

!Problem
Market Feedback product’s serial number is reported to production line
Market malfunction is reported to production line for improvement
Rewrite the individual setting based on customer’s requirement
RFID Assemble/ Attachment
Injection molding, glue, press fit, soldering - use information on
tracking in productionprocess
Write the information into user‘smemory
• Serial number (*refer to the serial of main IC)
• Model information, date code, production
information, customer-specific settings, etc.
If any issue happens to
the device, it will be
returned to the warehouse
If nothing happen to the
device, RFID will not be
used.
Warehouse/ Store/ Customer Service
Operator will read the serial number from the outside of
the enclosure
[No need to open the enclosure]
Use Case #3: RMA of Wearable Products
Manufacturing record and device setting are often written inside the products.
Operator needs to open the product to check the serial/ barcode inside. RMA
(Return merchandise authorization) process becomes more time consuming.
