RFID - Deploy and Integrate Automatic Identification Technology

Overview Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) was introduced during the 1980s as a non-contact application to improve manufacturing. Today, RFID technology has resurfaced because of business's push for a more efficient supply chain. The RFID system consists of four components: Tags-either active or passive devices that use radio frequency antenna to communicate with the RFID reader; Readers-devices that scan the RFID tags; Antenna-device used to communicate the information between the tag and reader; Software-the most important component which applies the information supplied by the RFID system. WalMart and the DoD are the current drivers for RFID technology. Organizations should also understand that the proper requirements must be in place for a successful RFID implementation.
