Overview

Engineering evaluation demonstrates 99.8% tracking accuracy for 800 hospital textiles using an optimized RFID gate, indicating scalable infection and inventory control.

Key Points

To design, implement, and evaluate a high-accuracy RFID system to streamline hospital textile inventory tracking, reduce losses, and assist infection control.
Designed an RFID tracking architecture featuring an RFID gate station with a cylindrical reflector, handheld readers, and integrated web and mobile software.
Conducted electromagnetic simulations and radiation leakage measurements alongside thermogravimetric analysis on heat-resistant silicone RFID tags.
The cylindrical reflector reduced electric-field intensity behind the gate station by approximately 94.4%, substantially improving field confinement and reducing radiation leakage.
The system achieved a minimum reading accuracy of 99.8% when processing batches of up to 800 RFID-tagged textiles.
Thermogravimetric analysis verified that the selected silicone RFID tags successfully withstand repeated high-temperature laundry cycles.
