RFID Technology

“RFID” describes a class of technology that exchanges data wirelessly. Data is written to and read from a chip attached to an antenna that receives RF signals from a read/write device
commonly called a reader, encoder or interrogator.

RFID offers several tangible advantages over other forms of data collection:

• RFID enables monitoring and data collection in environments unfit for workers, because tag reading requires no labor.
• More than a thousand reads can be performed each second, providing high speed and great accuracy.
• The data on an RFID tag can be altered repeatedly.
• RFID does not require direct line of sight between tag and reader, making it suitable for many applications where bar codes are not viable.
• Thousands of organizations in many industries have exploited RFID’s advantages to develop operations that monitor processes, provide real-time data accuracy, track assets
  and inventory, and reduce labor requirements.
• RFID technology can be used in conjunction with bar-code systems and Wi-Fi networks.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of the fastest growing and most beneficial technologies being adopted by businesses today. Adoption of this automatic data-collection (ADC) technology has recently been fueled by the establishment of key standards, retailer and government mandates, improved technology performance, and falling hardware & implementation costs. RFID offers great value for many industries and applications.
