Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to transfer radio frequency identification (RFID) data to a database.
It applies to individuals who are required to maintain RFID data and make it available to an RFID system.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
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. Determine the 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 the required data, target database requirements and implementation details, ensuring the 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 the data transition has been completed, according to the requirements 3.2 Document programs, procedures and processes, according to the requirements of the client 3.3 Provide conversion reports to the client for sign-off |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
identify formats of radio frequency identification (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.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify the client database’s data structures
describe client data management, data security policy, and procedures
describe and apply data analysis in determining;
data types
data structures
queries
report design
identify the data source names in use by the organisation
describe the open database connection (ODC)
list the primary files, and requirements, of transaction logs to confirm appropriate database activity
outline quality assurance practices
identify the required software tools
outline the system’s data requirements
define the system's current functionality
identify the website foundation.
Assessment Conditions
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the database field of work, and include access to:
industry software packages
conversion tools
the database’s software
networked computers
organisational guidelines
radio frequency identification (RFID) equipment specifications.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Foundation Skills
This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
Skill | Performance Criteria | Description |

Writing | 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 3.2, 3.3 | Uses appropriate technical language, format and layout when recording data and producing technical documentation |
Oral Communication | 1.1, 1.2, 3.1, 3.3 | Uses active listening, questioning and summarising skills when gathering information and negotiating best project outcome |
Get the work done | 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1 | Sequences and schedules complex activities, monitors implementation, and manages relevant communication during data mapping and integration requirements Uses familiar digital technologies and systems to access information, search and enter data and code, present information and communicate with others, cognisant of data security and safety |
