Utsa Demonstrates Radio Frequency Identification Technology

Summary

---

RFID is an automatic identification technology that stores and remotely retrieves data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. RFID tags are objects that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves.

"Our center is unique to the country in that we try to look at the big picture and show how systems need to be integrated using a systems engineering perspective," said Can Saygin, associate professor of mechanical engineering. "We look at the methodologies and the kinds of technologies we can bundle together for technology transfer in this industry that generates $14.6 billion dollars for the San Antonio economy."

"The automation portion and the ability to use this technology is very cutting-edge and I like to see universities embracing this technology," said Scott Denholm, Motorola Senior Manager for RFID Business Development "I see a symbiotic relationship in that UTSA is giving back to the community in the engineering environment and they are getting back in learning how the technologies function in the workplace."
