Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to transfer radio frequency identification (RFID) data to a database.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine data mapping and integration requirements
- 1.1 Identify and document the format of the data from the RFID system, including data schema
- 1.2 Collect required data, target database requirements and implementation details ensuring uniqueness of entries
2. Perform data transition
- 2.1 Write and test conversion programs and use conversion tools
- 2.2 Ensure clean data take-on by converting according to database requirements
- 2.3 Use database adaptors and interfaces for data transition
3. Check data transition
- 3.1 Verify that data transition has been completed according to requirements
- 3.2 Document programs, procedures and processes according to clients requirements
- 3.3 Provide conversion reports to client for sign-off
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
identify formats of RFID system output and data fields in database
analyse, write, install and test conversion programs
identify format of data fields of database
write or obtain, and install conversion software
compile entries in database reports.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
conversion tools
database software
networked computers
organisational guidelines
RFID equipment specifications
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of candidate configuring an RFID system and database using a range of equipment in a variety of scenarios
evaluation of candidate’s documentation that includes programs, procedures and processes
review of candidate-generated conversion reports.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
