RFID
RFID is the method of remotely reading, retrieving and storing data using devices such as tags, readers. An RFID Tag contains a small silicon chip that carries limited data about the product it is attached to. The tag emits this data (either actively or passively) to Readers using radio waves thereby not requiring line of sight or human intervention for identification. The data is stored in a database and used to integrate with other systems in the supply chain. This can help track the tagged product right through the supply chain
In recent years automatic identification procedures (Auto ID) have become very popular in many service industries, purchasing and distribution logistics, industry, manufacturing companies and material flow systems.Automatic identification procedures exist to provide information about people, animals, goods and products.Bar code have an extensive applications in indentification systems in past few years. Barcodes are extremely cheap, but their stumbling block is their low storage capacity and the fact that they cannot be reprogrammed.The technically optimal solution would be the storage of data in a silicon chip. A contactless transfer of data between the data carrying device and its reader is far more flexible.This Spawned the existence of RFID. RFID is the use of an object (typically referred to as an RFID tag) applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
