Estudo de viabilidade do uso do RFID para rastrear EPIs no setor de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica

Abstract

This paper focuses on the feasibility analysis of radio frequency identification (RFID) to be used in the management of assets of personal protection equipment (EPIs) applied to a power line maintenance operator. In order to improve the management and tracking of EPIs used by this operator during the execution of his duties, several tests were carried out to investigate the possibility of tracking these items using RFID technology. To demonstrate the benefits of using RFID, tests were performed with different antenna positions and smart tags. The comparative tables, images and graphs summarize the results of the identification of the items, taking this work to the conclusion about the capacity of the tracking of the EPIs using RFID.
