Challenges in Applying PassiveUHF RFID in Paper Industry• ID code carried on throughout the whole
supply chain of the reel => tag placing on the core under the wrapped paper => effectson the performance of the tag antenna and the RFID system (attenuation of the electromagnetic wave, decrease in the wavelength and its effects on the electricaldimensions of the tag antenna, reflections onthe boundaries)
• Industrial environment• Different paper qualities, cardboard

• The biggest challenge: development of an omnidirectional tag antenna (indisplacablefor example in lift truck handling, only one reader antenna needed)

Identification of Cardboard Reels
• Passive UHF RFID of cardboard reelshas been impossible with conventionaltags
• Challenges: reel size (diameter 1800 mm), the layered and moreinhomogeneous structure of cardboard(boundaries => lens effect)

Conclusions and Future Work
• The first omnidirectional tag antenna for passive UHF RFID of paper reelsdeveloped
• The tag has been tested with copy paper and coated printing paper
• Also cardboard tested, 180°identification around the reel => development of an omnidirectional tagantenna for cardboard reels

Conclusions and Future Work
• Testing the tag antenna also in Americanand Asian UHF RFID bands => development of a global tag
• Longer read ranges for both paper and cardboard reels (minimum 0.5 m frompaper surface)
• Evaluating the tag in harsh environments(for example in cold temperatures)
