Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology can be applied at several levels, and it ensures improved communication and efficiency. It can be used to identify, follow, and spot known objects or people and can be utilized in catalog management, asset tracking, security and loss prevention, preservation, rental equipment, and operations.
RFID technology does not necessitate reading line-of-sight access. An RFID tag can activate security alarm systems, if removed from its proper location, and it is not orientation-sensitive. Also, it can hold more information than merely a unique product code, and, hence, each item can be independently labeled or tagged. Furthermore, RFID tag data is all-inclusive, distinctive or common in parts, and is compatible with data processing. With right technology, a plurality of tags can be read at the same time. An RFID tag has two types - read-only and read-write. Each RFID tag is distinct, and hence, these tags can act as a security feature if lost or stolen.
