A wireless data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. Like bar codes, they are used to identify items. Unlike bar codes, which must be brought close to the scanner for reading, RFID tags are read when they are within the proximity of a transmitted radio signal. Because RFID tags hold more data than bar codes, which generally contain only a product ID, the RFID tag can be used for tracking individual items.

A wireless information-transmission technology set to take the place of bar codes. A tag is placed on the object and then read by an antenna and transceiver. The object does not need to be in the same line of sight as the transceiver, as products with bar codes do, and the transceiver can function over greater distances than bar code readers.

Labels used to identify objects that work with radio signals for data transmission in the production, transportation and storage sectors. Instead of barcodes and optical scanning devices, RFID systems use transponders as markers on the objects to be monitored. These units receive radio signals from the relevant interrogation devices and transmit their information back. Some of the key advantages of this technology include the fact that larger volumes of data can be stored in the transponders, the link between the transponder and the interrogation device is reliable without a direct line of sight, the data is interrogated more quickly and the data can be changed.

A technology that incorporates the use of electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to uniquely identify an object, animal, or person. RFID is coming into increasing use in industry as an alternative to the bar code. The advantage of RFID is that it does not require direct contact or line-of-sight scanning. An RFID system consists of three components: an antenna and transceiver (often combined into one reader) and a transponder (the tag).

Any electronic identification system comprised of a reader/scanner/interrogator and a transponder that can read or write data content using a specified radio frequency.

Radio Frequency Identification Risks faced by the company have to be recognized. Objectives have to be set, integrated into the value-chain. To achieve the objectives, risks have to be identified, analyzed and develop methods to manage them.

These electronic tags on objects broadcast bits of information. For example, a future refrigerator could read a milk carton's RFID tag to determine when the milk will expire.

Radio Frequency Identification. The identification of an object using radio waves (RF). RFID system consists of a reader and a tag that is attached to every object. The reader interrogates the tag using radio waves, therefore no need for line-of-sight (LOS) between the reader and the tag. The code that is read from the tag is then decoded and sent to a computer for further processing. RFID is viewed as the next generation barcode. With RFID, products in shop shelves or in warehouse can be controlled and monitored through a network. The manufacturer and the shop owner can track the product stock real time and they can even collect customer preferences. Also see RF.

Radio Frequency Identification. Used for vehicle identification, toll collection, personnel identification and location (in healthcare, for example), inventory, livestock monitoring, and even in casinos, where gaming chips can be tagged. The system consists of two parts - a tag and a reader. Using radio frequency waves, the reader transmits a signal to activate a tag, which is a small transceiver. The tag in turn transmits encoded data back to the reader, which acknowledges and logs the signal via a computer. The tag has read-write capabilities, enabling its data to be modified as necessary. _____________________________________________________________________________

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is a technology that has existed for decades. At a simple level, it is a technology that involves tags that emit radio signals and devices called readers that pick up the signal.

Radio Frequency Identification. A wireless technology used with Smart cards and tags.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that involves smart tags that emit radio signals and devices called readers that pick up the signal. Smart tag have a microchip transmitter that allows unprecedented access to information for consumers and companies. The technology allows manufacturers and supply partners to capture accurate information about the location and status of products and track them as they move from the assembly line to the retail store.

(Radio Frequency Identification): a technology using electronic identification tags attached to objects and a wireless RFID receiver or gun to capture and collect data contained in the tag. The electronic passes used to automatically collect highway tolls are one example of RFID. RFID has distinct advantages over bar codes including the ability to hold more data, the ability to dynamically change the data as processing occurs, and the ability to work effectively in a wide range of environments. Once the data is collected, it can be communicated securely using AS2.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a tracking and monitoring system that uses radio frequencies. It consists of three parts: the RFID tag that goes on the entity or items that you want to track, a reader, and a computer system.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using devices called RFID tags. An RFID tag is a small object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product. RFID tags contain antennae to enable them to receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFID transceiver. More Information
