RFID Widget

IDI Utilities:

This page offers several tools which we find helpful within RFID and barcode scanning applications. There are currently tabbed regions for the following tools:

[Text-2-EPC] provides a means of converting ASCII data to a single Hex string to be encoded, using the provided menu options & input fields. The initial version of this widget supports only DOD-96bit data structures. But more will be added over time.
[RFID Chips] provides a listing of current RFID chip manufacturers, models, and memory sizes. This information is provided in every UHF chip's TID memory bank ("E2" + mfr + mod + ....................).
[Brady ATA] is a utility for Brady Corporation's "ATA Tag Assistant" software running on a mobile Android RFID reader platform. The utility here can be used to quickly create a scannable barcode to automate the data entry into the Android app data input forms.
[KB-Wedge] This tool provides quick and easy processing of any keyboard wedge data input device to remove duplicate reads, filter, copy, and or download results.
[Serial Port] Instead of downloading, installing, and learning a formal serial port monitor program - this tool uses the Web Serial API to allow monitoring, filtering, and copying sensor data streams from connected serial ports (or USB-2-Serial adapter cables). This was initially intended for fixed RFID tag readers, but could be used for any sensor system that streams data over a Serial port cable connection. The Web Serial API is NOT currently supported on Firefox browsers, but is on Chrome and Edge.
[QR Code] This is a simple utility to create a QR barcode to carry user supplied text data. Create, Copy, and Scan the image to provide an 'optical' data transfer to another device without the need for data security protocols.

RFID Chip Manufacturers:

The TID (Tag ID) memory bank of every UHF RFID chip starts with "E2", followed by a 3 hex-character ID code for the chip manufacturer. The following table shows the current list of GS1 chip vendors and their binary and hex "MDID" codes.

Use this site for faster and more accurate data entry to the Brady Mobile Tag Assistant app, which is used to encode and secure RFID tags for commerical aerospace parts per the ATA Spec 2000 Chapter 9 specification. The Brady Android app supports both new tag creation (Commissioning) and data updates to existing RFID tags. The app also supports UHF Gen2 RFID tags from any vendor which meets the higher memory requirements of the ATA spec.

The app supports manual data entry. However, this site creates scannable barcodes which transfer input data in a much more accurate, secure, and efficient method. This 'optical' data transfer process eliminates security concerns of connecting Android devices to your enterprise network via LAN, WiFi, or BlueTooth.

There is no need to print the data input barcodes since the Zebra handheld reader can scan off nearly any display screen. Review the videos on the Demos tab to see the process in use. Then chose either barcode creation option from the top navigation bar and begin the process.

Barcode Contents

Beginning

Manually input values into the form fields which you want to include inside the barcode. Then scan the code into the Brady mobile app forms for commissioning a birth record. Scan the same barcode into the EPC, Birth, or LifeCycle Record forms. The barcode fields that are NOT in each Brady data input form will be ignored.

Simple Keyboard Wedge Input:

Use this page to stream data output from any device which is connected via a keyboard emulation driver. The barcode scanner, RFID reader, or typed information should be configured with an [Enter] suffix so that each record is on a single line. The intent of the page is to show how 'data streams' can be dynamically filtered, transformed, copied, and exported regardless of the speed of data collection. Begin by placing your cursor in the top input box.

Use this page to stream data output from any device which is connected via a Serial Port cable or usb-2-serial adapter. This page uses the following settings for the serial port. Please make sure to match these settings on the RFID reader, and the PC driver for any usb-2-serial adapter that might be used to cable connect the PC and RFID reader.
