The ValidFill System: How It Works

5.0) The RFID Specic Components Dened

In the ValidFill system there are three main radio frequency Idencaon (RFID) specic

components that make the system work:

5.1) RFID Tag

An RFID tag (also known as a transponder) is programmed with informaon that

uniquely idenes itself. These tags are located on the boom or between the shell

and the liner of the Whirley-DrinkWorks’ rellable mugs used with the ValidFill system.

Each individual tag holds informaon that is unique to that tag such as size of the cup,

company name, date the cup was purchased, where it was purchased, how many mes

it has been used, how many rells remaining, and mulple other elds of data.

5.2) RFID Reader

An RFID reader (also known as a transceiver) translates the informaon that is

programmed onto the tag into a format the computer soware can interpret and send

out the proper commands.

5.3) RFID Antenna

An RFID Antenna, located in the top of the POS MINI, transmits a small radio signal that

has been generated by the RFID reader.
