HAYVAN İZLEMEDE RADYO FREKANSLI TANIMLAMA SİSTEMLERİNİN KULLANIMI

Abstract

Son yıllardaki teknolojik gelişmelerin artmasıyla birlikte, geçmişi 1940’lı yıllara dayanan radyo frekanslı tanımlama sistemlerinin (RFID) uygulamaları oldukça popüler hale gelmiştir. Okuma mesafelerinin artması ve boyutlardaki küçülme, RFID teknolojisinin çok farklı uygulamalarda kullanılmasına sebep olmuştur. Hayvan tanımlama, izleme ve takip sistemleri, bu teknolojinin hırsızlık ve hileyi önlemede, verilerin toplanması ve depolanmasında etkin olarak kullanıldığı alanlardan bazılarıdır. Son zamanlarda, aktif RFID etiketlere sıcaklık ve pH sensörleri eklenerek elde edilen ve hayvanların rumenine yerleştirilebilen bolus tipi etiketler ile hayvanların vücut sıcaklığı ve rumen pH değerlerinin uzaktan ölçümünü içeren çalışmalar sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ilk olarak literatür ve pratik uygulamalar taranarak RFID tekniklerinin nasıl kullanıldıkları özet karşılaştırmalarla gösterilmiş, son olarak da önerilen sistemlerin problemlere hangi oranda çözüm olabilecekleri tartışılmıştır. Kullanılan yöntemlerin avantaj ve dezavantajları belirtilerek, hayvanların takibinde ve tanımlanmasında RFID teknolojisinin kullanımı ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

USE OF RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS ON ANIMAL MONITORING

Abstract

With enhancement of technological advances in recent years, radio frequency identification (RFID) applications, whose history begins in the 1940s, has become quite popular. Decrement of their size and increment in their reading distance has led to the use of RFID technology in different areas commonly. Animal monitoring, tracking and identification systems are some of the application areas where this technology is used effectively to prevent theft and fraud, to increase efficiency and to collect and store essential data. Recently, some studies that involve remote measurements of the body temperature and rumen pH values of animals with bolus type-tags placed in rumen by adding temperature and pH sensors to the active RFID tags have been presented. In this study, firstly having literature search and practical application designs, it was presented that how RFID techniques used in this area with brief comparisons and finally discussed that proposed systems whether or not could be a solution. Indicating the advantages and disadvantages of the application methods in the field, it is tried to express use of RFID technology, in the monitoring, tracking and identification of animals.
