RFID
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying
on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.
An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product,
animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Some tags
can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing
and processing information, modulating and demodulating a (RF) signal, and other
specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the
signal. Chipless RFID allows for discrete identification of tags without an integrated
circuit, thereby allowing tags to be printed directly onto assets at a lower cost
than traditional tags.
Today, RFID is used in enterprise supply chain management to improve the efficiency
of inventory tracking and management. However, growth and adoption in the enterprise
supply chain market is limited because current commercial technology does not link
the indoor tracking to the overall end-to-end supply chain visibility.
Coupled with fair cost-sharing mechanisms, rational motives and justified returns
from RFID technology investments are the key ingredients to achieve long-term and
sustainable RFID technology adoption
