Identification Technologies: Overview, Applications and Issues

Overview RFID technology, which uses radio waves for communication, relies on small computer chips and antennas integrated into a paper or plastic label - called a tag - that can be scanned by an electronic reading device. The scan allows automatic collection of data on the chip, which can include information on warranty, where the product was manufactured, or product details such as quantity, size, color, etc. First developed in the 1960's, RFID technology has proven itself reliable over time, with falling cost structures and further technology refinement allowing it to be used in more common applications today.
