REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the literature and different studies related to the proposed study. This simply discusses the design literature and components used. Along with this is the comparison between the existing related concepts and the design project.

Related Literature

The study utilized the concepts from conceptual literatures to gain important background of the study. This includes ABC Trucking and Employee Management System Using C#, MySql, RFID, RFID Reader and Biometrics.

RFID

The RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification. The acronym refers to small electronic devices that consist of a small chip and an antenna. The chip typically is capable of carrying 2,000 bytes of data or less.

The RFID device serves the same purpose as a bar code or a magnetic strip on the back of a credit card or ATM card; it provides a unique identifier for that object. And, just as a bar code or magnetic strip must be scanned to get the information, the RFID device must be scanned to retrieve the identifying information.

An RFID reader, also known as an interrogator, is a device that provides the connection between the tag data and the enterprise system software that needs the information. The reader communicates with tags that are within its field of operation, performing any number of tasks including simple continuous inventorying, filtering (searching for tags that meet certain criteria), writing (or encoding) to select tags, etc.

The reader uses an attached antenna to capture data from tags. It then passes the data to a computer for processing. Just like RFID tags, there are many different sizes and types of RFID readers. Readers can be affixed in a stationary position in a store or factory, or integrated into a mobile device such as a portable, handheld scanner. Readers can also be embedded in electronic equipment or devices, and in vehicles.

Biometrics

Is the measurement and statistical analysis of...
