2. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is
an automatic identification method based
on radio waves
RFID relies on storing and retrieving data
using devices called RFID tags
An RFID tag is applied to (or)
incorporated into a product
3. The information in the tag can be read by
using a reader.
A reader is used to identify all tags within its
reception coverage area.
Information transmitted from the tag can be
interpreted by reading the data directly from
the reader itself or through a software based
interface
12. Line of sight
RFID tags can be read at much greater
distances
Read / write capability
13. RFID is said by many in the industry to be front
run technology
The biggest, as of unproven, benefit would
ultimately be in the consumer goods supply chain
With rates of simulation such as silicon coming
down the cost of tags & readers also come down
Once the production of tags & readers is done
on a mass scale their individual cost is bound to
come down
With the above factors in mind we conclude
that RFID will be nothing less than a revolution
