Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a form of wireless communication that uses radio waves to identify and track objects. RFID takes the barcoding concept and digitizes it for the modern world providing the ability to:
Uniquely identify an individual item beyond just its product type
Identify items without direct line-of-sight
Identify many items (up to 1,000s) simultaneously
Identify items within a vicinity of between a few centimeters to several meters
An RFID system has readers and tags that communicate with each other by radio. RFID tags are so small and require so little power that they don’t even need a battery to store information and exchange data with readers. This makes it easy and cheap to apply tags to all kinds of things that people would like to identify or track.
RFID technology has the capability to both greatly enhance and protect the lives of consumers, and also revolutionize the way companies do business. As the most flexible auto-identification technology, RFID can be used to track and monitor the physical world automatically and with accuracy.
RFID can tell you what an object is, where it is, and even its condition. It is integral to the development of the Internet of Things - a globally interconnected web of objects allowing the physical world itself to become an information system, automatically sensing what is happening, sharing related data, and responding.
RFID use is increasing rapidly with the capability to 'tag' any item with an inexpensive communications chip and then read that tag with a reader. Endless applications range from supply chain management to asset tracking to authentication of frequently counterfeited pharmaceuticals. Applications are limited, in fact, only by the imagination of the user.
RFID can help:
Automate inventory and asset tracking in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and business sectors.
Identify the source of products, enabling intelligent recall of defective or dangerous items, such as tainted foods, defective toys, and expired or compromised medication.
Prevent use of counterfeit products in the supply chain Improve shopping experience for consumers, with fewer out-of-stock items and easier returns.
Provide visibility into the supply chain, yielding a more efficient distribution channel and reduced business costs.
Decrease business revenue lost to theft or inaccurate accounting of goods Improve civilian security through better cargo monitoring at ports Wirelessly lock, unlock and configure electronic devices.
Enable access control of certain areas or devices.
Whatever the application, RFID has the potential to increase efficiency of operations, improve asset visibility and traceability, decrease reliance on manual processes, reduce operations costs, and provide useful data for business analytics.
In a basic RFID system, tags are attached to all items that are to be tracked. These tags are made from a tiny tag-chip, sometimes called an integrated circuit (IC) that is connected to an antenna. This can be built into many different kinds of tags including apparel hang tags, labels, and security tags, as well as a wide variety of industrial asset tags. The tag chip contains memory which stores the product's electronic product code (EPC) and other variable information so that it can be read and tracked by RFID readers anywhere.
An RFID reader is a network connected device (fixed or mobile) with an antenna that sends power as well as data and commands to the tags. The RFID reader acts as an access point for RFID tagged items so that the tags' data can be made available to business applications.
