Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Prepare to dimension and design an RFID system	1.1 Obtain the client’s business requirements of the intended RFID system to effectively inform the new design 1.2 Research RFID technologies, their functionalities and different implementations of configurations 1.3 Select suitable software and hardware types to ensure the proposed system is designed to meet business requirements 1.4 Conduct a survey of available interrogators or readers, tags and wireless units
2. Dimension and design RFID system	2.1 Select the most appropriate interrogators or readers for the given specification to ensure their compatibility with current network infrastructure, if applicable 2.2 Minimise interrogator to interrogator interference 2.3 Verify antenna geometry and footprint are consistent with the chosen design 2.4 Minimise sources of interference 2.5 Incorporate use of anti-collision protocols into the RFID design 2.6 Customise appropriate tag to client requirements 2.7 Predict performance for read distance, write distance and tag response time to confirm these conform with client requirements 2.8 Select optimal locations for an RFID tag to be placed on an item 2.9 Prepare a design proposal for the RFID system including specifications 2.10 Prepare a report containing design solutions and recommendations of preferred products, including justification for recommendations 2.11 Submit report to client for approval
3. Document specified design	3.1 Complete documentation according to client requirements 3.2 Inform client of standards applying to the design 3.3 Secure sign-off of RFID design from appropriate person

Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
