RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) Systems

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) systems use electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track objects or people. They consist of a tag (attached to an item) that contains a microchip and an antenna, and a reader device that emits radio waves. When the reader’s signal reaches the tag, it energizes the chip, which then sends back stored information. This process allows for quick, contactless identification without line-of-sight, making RFID useful for inventory management, access control, and asset tracking. It’s a reliable technology that streamlines operations by providing real-time data and automation.
