RFID for Museum Exhibits - Reader Needs Help

Filed in archive RFID Basics by Anita Campbell on December 19, 2006

A reader of this blog emailed me looking for help.

He is in charge of putting up an interactive exhibit in a museum and would like to incorporate RFID technology.

So I am posting his note to see if anyone has an answer for him. If you can provide any guidance, please leave a comment below:
We are building an interactive exhibit for children at our northern California children's museum and we want to use RFID technology. It's such a weird application, it's hard to get good advice.

I'll be quick. Attached is a layout of our design (PDF). We want to use 3 readers, one in each recycling bin .... There will be 30 recyclable items all with tags. When kids put the items in the bins, it affects their environment. My questions are specific to RFID (we've pretty much worked out the other stuff).

-- Can you recommend a good place to purchase RFID equipment in small quantities?

-- Will it be possible to limit the readers range to the bins (approx 3 foot square)?

-- Can the items with the tags be made of aluminum?

-- Any advice on specific readers and tags?
