RFID Introduction

What is RFID? RFID — Radio Frequency Identification — Is an Automatic Data Collection (ADC) technology that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data between a reader and a movable item to identify, categorize, and track. RFID is fast, reliable, and does not require physical sight or contact between reader/scanner and the tagged item. This non-line of sight advantage means that tags can be read through a variety of substances such as snow, fog, ice, paint, dirt, grime, and other visually and environmentally challenging conditions. In these conditions, barcodes or other optically read technologies would be useless. RFID tags can be read at very high speeds responding in less than 100 milliseconds and in challenging circumstances. Because of its versatility and performance, RFID has become indispensable for a wide range of automated data collection and identification applications that would not be possible otherwise.

How does RFID System Work? An RFID system consists of a tag, which is made up of a microchip with an antenna, and an interrogator or reader with an antenna. The reader sends out electromagnetic waves. The tag antenna is tuned to receive these waves. A passive RFID tag draws power from field created by the reader and uses it to power the microchip’s circuits. The chip then modulates the waves that the tag sends back to the reader and the reader converts the new waves into digital data.

Why RFID? u. Eliminate human errors u. No line of sight required u. Performs in a rugged, harsh environment u. Dynamic multi-block Read/Write capability u. Simultaneously reading & identification of multiple tags in field
