Noteless Transaction using RFID

This paper provides a survey on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Initially RFID tags were developed to eventually replace barcodes in supply chains. The retrieval of a serial number does not provide much information to the user but it helps to keep track of items in a production chain. The real power of RFID comes in combination with a backend that stores additional information such as descriptions for products and where & when a certain tag was scanned. The advantages are that they can be read wirelessly without line of sight, contain more information than barcodes and more robust. This paper describes the current technology i.e., Noteless Transaction. The efficiency of this system can be observed in real time application and provides transparency in transaction. This system will have the required databases for student and faculty directory that shows unique id and transaction details. This application has been developed using PHP for scripting and MySQL for creating the database. Since the uses for RFID tags are so widespread, there is a large interest in lowering the costs for producing them. It turns out that printing tags might become a viable alternative to traditional production. The paper reviews the current progress.
