Sure, you’ve heard of RFID. But what exactly is it?
More than just a type of technology, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a revolutionary force in our modern digital world. It shapes how businesses operate – adding efficiencies, streamlining operations and boosting overall productivity.
It’s essential to understand the differences between barcode labels (affixed to a surface) and tags (attached to an asset) and the devices that “read” them because how they will be used—the what, why, when and where—make a big difference. Both barcode and RFID readers are used in integrated intelligent manufacturing solutions. Barcodes often serve to identify the location of production orders, input inventory quantities of raw materials, and help signal the completion of finished goods. RFID can perform similar functions, but eliminates the human element, improving accuracy and automating the scan.
Better decision-making starts with quality, data-driven insights. And a great way to see the big picture is with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. With it, businesses can monitor an asset’s location and gain control over important revenue-generating processes. Efficient and cost-effective, RFID technology has become the go-to tracking system for industries worldwide.
This article contains what you need to know about RFID asset tracking: what it is, how it works, its benefits and how you can easily implement it into your current system.
