An automatic way to collect information or data on:
- Products
- Places
- Times
- Transactions
Identification
performed in milliseconds:
- No line of sight required
- Contactless
- Works in a harsh environment
- No human error involved
ID Tags
that can:
- Store unique ID information
- Read and write data to the tag
- Maintain historical information
... provides non-contact, non-line-of-sight operation
... can be read-only, WORM (write once, read many) or read/write
... very difficult to counterfeit
... a highly capable and proven technology for a wide
range of applications
RFID Further Defined
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) uses a semiconductor (microchip)
in a tag or label to store data
Data is transmitted from, or written to the tag or label when it is exposed
to radio waves of the correct frequency and with the correct communications
protocols
RFID tags do not contain onboard intelligence
