During Production Hybrids will be tracked with RFID tags. This will allow identification throughout their lifetime.

---+ Hardware
This section will give a short overview over the different components necessary to read RFID tags.
---++ RFID reader
We use a ThingMagic USBPro reader.
The reader can be bought at [[https://www.digikey.de/product-detail/de/thingmagic-a-jadak-brand/USB-6EP/1523-1013-ND/5878959][DigiKey]] or [[https://www.atlasrfidstore.com/thingmagic-usb-pro-rfid-reader/][RFIDStore]].
RFID reader will be pre configured in Freiburg using
the [[https://www.jadaktech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ACT-1.31.2.zip][Autonomous Configuration Tool]] from the
manufacturer. The Reader will be configured to start
reading as soon as it is connected to USB or on
button push.
If you want to play with the reader yourself make sure
to connect both USB connectors, insufficient power
will NOT trigger an error!
---++ Reader antenna
The plan is to read out tags by bringing the antenna within cm distance from the tag.
Any nearfield antenna can serve this purpose.
We use a Beta-layout nearfield antenna.

This antenna can be bought [[https://uk.beta-layout.com/estore/order_product_details.html?wg=103&p=412][here]].

---+ Software
A demo version of the software can be found on GitLab under this [[https://gitlab.cern.ch/jhonig/rfid-alpha/tree/master/RFIDalpha][Link]].
Required packages are PyQt5, pyserial and numpy.
In addition the [[https://gitlab.cern.ch/atlas-itk/sw/db/production_database_scripts/tree/master/itk_pdb][iTk production database library]] is necessary to
communicate with the database.
To be operational in the subfolder User the file
User.txt needs to be filled with the database
credentials.
This is necessary for communication with the
database.
In the file Mercury.py the correct COM port for the
reader needs to be specified (example for Windows).
---++ How to start up
Software is started like any python script.

Only tags which are ticked are scanned or uploaded.

Before upload make sure a Barrel Hybrid Flex sheet with Hybrids is pre created in the database and that the sheet number you specified is unique.
