Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Evaluation Center

What Is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) ?

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are used in situations that require the tracking of unique items. RFID tags, in the context of enterprise resource planning and supply chain management, make items visible from manufacturing through to distribution. RFID tags may be used to carry basic information such as an address, to more complex information used at different stages of an assembly line. Typically, RFID systems contain tags, an encoder, readers, and a host system. The tag is composed of a microchip and an antenna encased in a plastic inlay. The encoder writes information to the tag; the reader gathers the information; and the host system processes the data.
