What is RFID?

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that allows business users to be able to read and identify a broad range of tagged objects and items without the requirement to be able to physically "see" the items in question. This ability to easily and efficiently uniquely identify and more importantly track important business assets throughout the business gives the management and users within the business the ability to make the right important decisions at the right time and with the right information to hand.

How does it work?

The vast majority of RFID tags or transponders (the tags are often used interchangeably) use a silicon microchip to store a unique serial number and usually some additional information. There are two broad categories of RFID systems—passive and active systems.

Passive RFID tags do not have a transmitter; they simply reflect back energy (radio waves) coming from the reader antenna. Active tags have their own transmitter and a power source, usually—but not always—a battery. They broadcast a signal to transmit the information stored on the microchip.

The radio waves received back from a passive or active tag is detected by the antenna and with the aid of a coupler (RFID reader) is passed to a host computer and converted into useful information that can be used by the business to make everyday important decisions, such as whether to order new stock because supplies are running low or to trigger an event when a successful shipment of goods has been despatched from your warehouse.
