RFID (Radio Frequency identification) is a method of identification process that has potential to substitute barcode and magnetic card as an identification process. The reason of this is because RFID is created to eliminate the defect of identification process occurred when either barcode or magnetic card is used. As RFID has faced obstacles during the implementation, it has not been used widely and to its maximum capability as further development and improvement is still possible. This issue will be thoroughly discussed in this thesis.

This project has a main goal to discover the obstacles for RFID to be implemented widely. The results obtained from this project would show what kind of obstacles that are encountered by RFID and therefore would be foundation for further improvements. Furthermore, the result obtained from this project will assist in the direction of further development that should be made so RFID could be implemented widely to its maximum capability.

After this project is undertaken, various projects related to further development of RFID could be performed. One example of the project that can be done for RFID development is how to increase the performance of RFID. Another project that can be taken is to store data of groceries expired date in the RFID, and build a hardware that have monitor to be embedded in the refrigerator where the expiry date can be monitored using that hardware.
