Expect radio frequency ID (RFID) technology to play a larger role in disaster mitigation and various other aspects of Filipino's life, the Department of science and technology said.
DOST information and communication technology Office (ICTO) Executive Director Louis Napoleon Casambre said RFID will in the heart of intelligent sensors the DOST monitor weather and geological conditions, as well as other aspects of the program "Smarter Philippines".
"We believe that the RFID technology the DOST smarter Philippines program can complement, the essence of which is the effective generation, collection and analysis of data to make timely and effective decision making and planning," said Casambre on the 2013 RFID technology awareness Workshop held in the building ICTO-National Computer Center in Diliman, Quezon City (https://www.facebook.com/notes/science-and-technology-information-institute-dost/rfid-technology-to-complement-dosts-smarter-philippines-program/550538898311836).
This in turn can lead to general socio-economic development, he added.
RFID Radio waves used to transfer the data for identifying, tracing, or the terms of sensing objects.
Devices using RFID-technology are used for marking customers waiting for their orders, or vehicles that indicate the location of motorists in an area.
They are also used to keep track of logistics, and in manufacturing and retail.
But in disaster management, said the DOST that RFID's are also used in program NOAH (rural operation on the assessment of risks) and automated rain gauges and weather stations.
"These facilities transmit real time data on the amount of rainfall, temperature, pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed, direction and speed," he said.
The DOST added that RFID are also important in Noah's dream project that uses light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), which is used to survey the topography of the Philippines.
Casambre said that other RFID-based intelligent sensors in the works include those that weather and geological conditions, road traffic flow and soil and water quality check can.
"RFID is one of the most ubiquitous technologies in the world today, apart from that an essential part of the global supply chain," he said.
He noted mobile phones and Tablet Pcs have at least two RFID technology in the form of International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi addresses. DOST eyes RFID tech for disaster prevention
