The UHF RFID wristband system for attending the rehearsal sessions and graduation ceremony

In the recent years, ultra-high-frequency radio frequency identification (RFID UHF) technology is very potential technology suitable for various areas of applications. The most valuable applications of RFID tag is low cost and long recognition distance. This research introduces the novel concept of applying the passive RFID wristband tags for identifying the graduates. This application manages to identify and verify graduates for attending the rehearsal sessions and Maejo University's graduation ceremony for academic year 2016. The designed system has two the distinctive range of RFID readers: 1) for short distance, the policy verify the wristband tags by using UHF RFID desktop reader reading one by one attached to the computer via USB port or the smart phone via USB On-The-Go (OTG) for typing alphabets like computer keyboard and 2) for long distance, the policy verify the wristband tag with UHF RFID fixed reader reading many persons at the same time attached to the computer via RS232 port with connection to Microsoft SQL server. This application aims to increase efficiency for identification and verification. In the future work we will develop graduates tracking system.
