This thesis project explores how RFID technology can be applied to develop and implement a practical solution for measuring performance at the Korkeakangas fitness stairs. The main objective of the project
was to design a reliable RFID-based system that provides a high level of automation for end-users. The thesis was commissioned by Häme University of Applied Sciences.
The theoretical framework serves as a solid foundation for conceptually exploring aspects of RFID technology, dedicated hardware systems, and relevant physical phenomena. It also includes the investigation of RFID-specific standards, operating frequencies, and the use of the LLRP in system integration.
The system implementation utilizes a Raspberry Pi 3B+ microcomputer, an RFID reader with two antennas, and a Python-based software solution consisting of backend processing logic and a graphical user interface. User performance data is stored in a locally deployed SQLite database.
The obtained results indicate the successful design, implementation, and testing of the RFID timing system. This project emphasises the practical benefits of RFID technology and its potential for applications in automation engineering.
