Understanding RFID, the Building Block for Enhanced Asset and Inventory Accuracy and Efficiency.

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. And like a barcode or magnetic strip on a credit card, an RFID tag provides a unique identifier for an object. RFID technology uses radio waves to communicate between a device (such as a tag or a card) and a reader. The device, often called an RFID tag or label, contains a microchip and an antenna, and you can attach it to, or embed them, in an object. The reader, also called an RFID scanner, sends out a radio frequency signal that “powers” the tag and enables it to send back its stored data. You can then scan items that have an RFID tag or label attached to them. Once you have items tagged and scanned you can use software to retrieve stored information.
