What is RFID Technology?
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as a tracking tool has broad applications. An RFID tag or chip, which comes in a small form factor, can be attached to anything from packages and devices to vital records. The antenna on the tag receives a signal, and a reader device interprets it to carry out the tracking capabilities. The reader device can parse the information and send it to another device on your network or even a web application in the cloud.
Many businesses use RFID technology due to its broad application, versatility, scalability, and ability to enhance productivity, quality assurance, and efficiency.
