RFID Technology: How It Works and Its Benefits

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects. It consists of two primary components: tags and readers. Tags, small electronic devices attached to objects, contain unique identifiers. Readers emit radio waves that interact with the tags, causing them to transmit their stored data.  

RFID technology offers several advantages over traditional barcode systems.

It enables automatic data capture, reducing errors and improving efficiency. RFID tags are durable and can withstand harsh environments, making them suitable for various applications. Additionally, RFID systems can track multiple objects simultaneously, providing real-time visibility and control.
