What is RFID?

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a system that transmits the identity of an object or a person via wireless network, in the form of a unique serial number, using radio waves. RFID is one among the various automated identification technologies, in which the data can be retrieved efficiently, hence saving time and labour required to retrieve the data.

RFID reader is used to capture data stored in a tag and transmit it to a computer system without human intervention. An RFID tag consists of a microchip attached to a radio antenna mounted on a substrate. This chip can store around 2 kilo bytes of data. A tag carries information pertaining to the business requirements. A tag costs around 20 to 40 cents depending upon its packaging and features.

Even though RFID technology was implemented by many companies for over a decade, its uses were limited due to high cost. Currently this technology is widely used in a large number of areas like supply chains, sports concerns, document tracking applications,...
