RFID technologies allow for the electronic identification of objects using radio frequency tags. An RFID system consists of RFID tags which contain identifying information, a reader to interrogate the tags, and application software. RFID tags come in three types - passive, semi-passive, and active - and contain an integrated circuit and antenna. Current applications of RFID include credit cards, smart cards, electronic toll collection, access control, and supply chain management. While RFID provides benefits like contactless reading and storing more data, limitations include relatively high costs and interoperability issues due to developing standards.
