WHAT IS RFID
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification and is most often used to identify, transfer and track information in the form of an RFID ‘chip’. These chips are similar to a barcode in the way they store information, however unlike a barcode, RFID chips don’t need to be aligned with a scanner to validate which makes them faster and more efficient to use.
HOW DOES RFID WORK
RFID tag information is stored electronically and includes a small RF transmitter and receiver. A RFID reader transmits an encrypted radio signal to identify the tag. When the tag receives the data it responds with its identification information.
