Radio Frequency Idendification

What is RFID? or Radio Barcodes?

Well it literally stands for “Radio Frequency Identification”

Think of RFID as an 'enhanced' bar code. The basic premise of RFID is that by attaching a radio frequency tag to an object, a computer can track that object without human intervention.

There are three basic elements of an RFID system: tags; readers plus associated antennas, and software. Just as bar code technology revolutionized the supply chain, RFID will be a key technology for the present and future.

What is RFID? or Radio Barcodes?

Although RFID technology works in a complimentary fashion with bar codes, there are differences:

Bar codes require line-of-sight reading, whereas an RFID reader can detect a tag that is not visible.
Multiple RFID tags can be read simultaneously, while bar codes must be read individually.
RFID tags have memory which can be updated, while bar code data remains static.
RFID significantly reduces the time required to locate assets, operating in a manner similar to a Geiger counter, automatically seeking the location of specific tagged items – something bar coding cannot do.
