RFID

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects, animals, or people with the help of small electronic devices called RFID tags or transponders. RFID technology has various applications across different industries due to its ability to provide automated identification and data capture.

RFID technology has diverse applications, including:

  • Inventory Management: RFID tags can be used to track and manage inventory in retail stores, warehouses, and supply chain operations, improving efficiency and reducing errors.

  • Access Control: RFID cards or tags are used to control access to buildings, rooms, or restricted areas.

  • Transportation and Logistics: RFID tags are used to track and trace shipments, improving visibility and reducing transit time.

  • Livestock and Animal Tracking: RFID tags are employed to monitor and identify individual animals in agriculture and research.

  • Contactless Payment: RFID technology is used in contactless payment systems, such as credit cards or mobile wallets with RFID capabilities.

  • Healthcare: RFID tags can be used in hospitals to track medical equipment, manage patient records, and improve asset management.
