 Radio
Frequency Identification or RFID is the use of radio waves
to identify objects. This means, unlike a barcode, one can
track an item without actually having to come in contact
with it. The way it works is that an identifying serial
number is stored in a microchip which is then attached to an
antenna. (Together these are called the transponder or tag.)
The chip is now able to transmit any identifying information
to the receiver. The reader will convert the information to
a digital format to be read by computers.
Radio Frequency
Identification isn’t new. It’s been around since the 80s and
is already being used in toll booths, automotive ignitions,
and security access badges. Businesses that use this system
will be able to track products throughout the whole
manufacturing process, from the beginning of the conveyor
belt to the packaging and beyond. These items can also be
tracked while being shipped, received, and even sitting on
the store shelves. Benefits of RFID include: |
