Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a generic term that is used to describe a system that transmits the identity of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves. It's grouped under the broad category of automatic identification technologies. It's a new method of remotely storing and retrieving data. RFID is one type of auto ID technology that uses radio waves to identify, monitor, and manage individual objects as they move between physical locations.

Auto-ID technologies, such as bar code systems, often require a person to manually scan a label or tag to capture the data. RFID is designed to enable readers to capture data on tags and transmit it to a computer system without needing a person to be involved.

An RFID system consists of tags and readers. RFID tags are small devices containing a chip and an antenna that store the info rmation for object identification. Tags can be applied to containers, pallets, cases, or individual items. With no line-of-sight requirement, the tag transmits info rmation to the reader, and the reader converts the incoming radio waves into a form that can be read by a computer system.

Although it is often thought that RFID and barcodes are competitive technologies, they are in fact complementary. The primary element of differentiation between the two is that RFID does not require line-of-sight technology.

It is easy to see how RFID has become indispensable for a wide range of automated data collection and identification applications. RFID and barcode technologies will continue to coexist in response to diverse market needs. RFID, however, will continue to expand in markets for which barcode or similar optical technologies are not as efficient.
