Abstract

Using the radio wave, RFID(: Radio Frequency IDentification) wirelessly transmits the unique information saved in a tag attached on the specific object. In the construction area, the trend in using RFID for managing the input and inventory of the construction materials is upward. General management systems for the construction materials have only a function of identifying the tag attached on the construction materials, but the management system with a function of identifying and managing the location information of the construction materials employing RFID, for reusing it, is not actively developed. For the efficient reuse of the construction materials, in this paper, we propose the RFID system with a function of estimating and saving the location information of the specific construction materials, based on the estimated distances between the particular subs and reader. The proposed system consists of RFID reader, distance estimate, communication, and memory units.

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)는 라디오파를 이용하여 사물에 부착된 태그에 저장되어 있는 고유정보를 무선으로 전송하는 기술이다. 건축 분야에서 RFID를 사용하여 자재의 투입량과 재고 관리를 위한 자재관리 시스템의 구축사례가 증가 하고 있는 추세이다. 기존의 자재관리 시스템은 자재의 투입량과 재고 관리를 위해 자재에 RFID태그를 부착시키고 자재 투입 시 자재에 부착된 태그를 인식하는 기능만을 가진 시스템이 대부분이고, 자재의 재사용을 위해 자재의 위치정보를 RFID를 활용하여 자동으로 인식하고 관리할 수 있는 시스템 개발은 활발히 이루어지고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 건축자재의 효율적인 재사용을 위해 특정 서브와 리더기의 거리측정값을 기반으로 자재의 위치를 추정하여 메인 서버에 저장하는 기능을 가지는 RFID 시스템을 제안한다. 시스템의 구조는 RFID 리더부, 거리측정부, 통신부, 저장부로 구성된다.
