Electronics. Nuclear engineering The lack of control and outdated inventory system have increased the management complexity of factory production lines, especially by the increase of sales and demand in the industry. An unmanageable system in the assembly line leads to inefficiency problems in tracking the volume of the product. The objective of this research is to develop a new design of embedded dual RFID architecture (passive and active systems) into a single system to track and monitor the product delivery process at the assembly lines in the industries. A new combination of 2.4 GHz ZigBee-based RFID operating in wireless sensor network platform is proposed as the solution to the product management problem.

Results from the experiments conducted showed that the embedded system namely Passive and Active RFID (PAR) produced better overall performance compared to the standalone which Passive RFID (PR) system. The indoor range test was measured from 0 up to 60 m distance. The measurements obtained at 1 m and 60 m of transmission range are -33 dB and -51 dB respectively. It was also observed that embedded system has better signal strength value 7.84 % compared to the standalone system at 60 m. For the highest power level, which is level 4 (10 dBm) it is found that only 0.02 dB of signal loss occurred and matches 99.8 % to the theoretical value for PAR system. The throughput values for the embedded are between 12 kbps to 29 kbps for 17 bytes of data per packet. In the latency test, the embedded PAR system has better and therefore lower delay of 10.9 %, 40.6 % and 74.7 % for up to 3 tags compared to the standalone system.
