2. What is RFID?
RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification
RFID device does not need to be positioned precisely
relative to the scanner.
RFID device reads all RFID tags at once.
RFID tags allows RFID reader to identify the objects as
well as the location.
RFID is the easiest way to track objects as
Compare to barcodes.
3. Implications of RFID in Pakistan
RFID in PIA
- PIA use RFID to track the cargo that needs to be transported
all across the globe from or to Pakistan.
- It helps its supplier and PIA itself to track where their aircraft
is.
- It makes them easy to determine the exact location as well as
the model of aircraft and the origin of that aircraft.

Still in warehouse.
5. What is Barcode?
A barcode scanner reads this pattern of black and white
that is then turned into a line of text your computer can
understand.
You need to separately scan each product to identify the
product.
Barcode can be read by the help of scanner which helps a
person to easily identify the object and equipment has
sold
Scanning every product can be hectic if it is used in
warehouse.
6. Implications of Barcode in Pakistan
Barcode in Marts:
- In Imtiaz super mart, we have seen people paying money
after paying getting the barcodes on their products scanned.
- It helps to identify the object separately on the time of
sale.
- After scanning, it helps responder to get the signal that the
particular product have been sold out.
Marts that use Barcode:
Metro
Makro
Chaseup etc
7. Conclusion
RFID is better than Barcode.
Barcodes takes a lot of time, because you have to scan each
product separately.
RFID gives you all information at once, and it’s very easy to
read.
By using RFID, it enables the efficient work process for the
supply chain.
Barcodes are mainly used at a product cash counter while,
RFID is used to manage the warehouse.
