What is RFID

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

RFID is s wireless technology that transmits information via radio waves. Since becoming commercially available in the 1970s, these systems have been used to identify and track inventory around the world. These systems provide numerous benefits over other auto-ID options They’re not only wireless, but also don’t require line of sight to monitor a product. For a variety of applications and industries, RFID technologies offer a long-term and durable solution for asset management.

The Anatomy of an RFID System 
(And How It Works)

RFID systems are composed of three main parts:

TAGS:

These are essentially USBs and are used to store valuable information about whatever they are attached to. Through radio waves, they send this identifying information back to the reader. The amount of data stored in these tags can range from a single serial number to pages of information.

READERS:

RFID readers are at the receiving end of the process. They’re designed to take information from the tags and transfer it to the middleware. They use onboard antennae to scan for tags within range and collect what’s required. Highly versatile, readers can be mounted in one place as a fixed scanner or shrunk down into a handheld device for on-the-ground monitoring. Some companies even mount them into cabinets or other fixtures for simplified inventory management.

MIDDLEWARE:

All that information is great, but people can’t read radio waves. That’s where this part of the system comes into play. Serving as the link between the reader and your information management systems, middleware handles communications between all components of an RFID system. Its main responsibility, however, is aggregating and interpreting the data collected from tags into something easy to digest.
