Design of Management System for Arrayed Returnable Containers

In this paper, a system design for RFID tag application is reported for a management of arrayed returnable containers. Recently, RFID tags are used in many application systems for managing various commercial goods. Here, returnable containers line up at intervals of tens of centimeters, and information in a RFID tag which is attached to each container is sequentially read through respectively arranged antennas connected to one reader /writer module. As a result, a system user can manage when and where each container was inserted or was taken out to/from the storage cabinet.
