Abstract :
Pseudo localization principle is applied to a RFID-based Smart Blood Stock System in order to automatize and improve the blood management in hospitals and other storage units. The principle is based on using redundant tags both on the blood bags and on the drawer surface to identify and localize each blood bag inside the cabinet and inside the drawer. A prototype system constructed for less than 1500 USD is described and its performance is demonstrated.
