Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), RFID Systems & Technology
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects. It is a wireless system that consists of two components: tags and readers. RFID tags can be passive or active. Passive tags do not have a battery, so they are powered by the radio waves from the reader. Active tags have a battery, so they can transmit their identification number over a longer distance.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to identify objects. It is a wireless system that consists of two components: tags and readers. The tags are attached to the objects that you want to identify, and the readers are used to read the information from the tags.
The tags are small, passive devices that contain a microchip and an antenna. The microchip stores the information about the object, such as a serial number or a product code. The antenna allows the tag to receive and transmit radio waves.
The readers are devices that emit radio waves and receive signals back from the tags. The readers decode the information from the tags and send it to a computer or other device.
RFID is used in a variety of applications, including:
- Inventory management: RFID can be used to track inventory in warehouses and stores. This can help to improve efficiency and accuracy.
- Access control: RFID can be used to control access to buildings, rooms, or other areas. This can help to improve security.
- Logistics: RFID can be used to track the movement of goods through the supply chain. This can help to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
- Animal tracking: RFID can be used to track the movement of animals. This can be used for livestock management or wildlife conservation.
