RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a generic term that is used to describe a system that transmits the “identity” (in the form of a unique serial number) of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves. RFID is typically grouped under the broad category of automatic identification technologies.

Auto-ID technologies include bar codes, optical character readers and some biometric technologies, such as retinal scans. The auto-ID technologies have been used to reduce the amount of time and labor needed to input data manually and to improve data accuracy. 

RFID is designed to enable readers to capture data on tags and transmit it to a computer system-without needing a person involved. A typical RFID tag consists of a microchip attached to a radio antenna mounted on a substrate. These “chips” can store large amounts of data on a product or shipment such as date of manufacturing, destination, sell by date, color, and quantity.

To retrieve the data stored on an RFID tag, you need a reader. A typical reader is a device that has one or more antennas that emit radio waves and receive signals back from the tag. The reader then passes the information in digital form to a computer.
