Introduction to RFID Technology
RFID technology has changed how businesses manage their items and track assets. The CPCON Group has over 25 years of experience in managing assets and controlling inventories. We use RFID solutions to make warehouse operations smoother. RFID uses radio waves to talk between tags and readers. This lets items be automatically identified and tracked without needing a person to do it.
How RFID Works
RFID systems have three parts: tags, readers, and middleware. Tags have microchips and antennas to store and send data. They can be active, with a battery, or passive, powered by the reader’s signal. When a reader is close to a tag, it sends a signal. This wakes up the tag, which sends its ID and data back to the reader.
The middleware software then takes this data and adds it to the warehouse system. This gives real-time info on inventory levels and where items are.
Comparison to Traditional Barcodes
RFID technology is better than barcodes in many ways:
- RFID tags hold more data, like expiration dates and manufacturing info.
- RFID tags can be read from far away and don’t need to be in line of sight.
- Many RFID tags can be read at once, making inventory tracking faster.
- RFID tags last longer and work well in tough conditions, unlike barcodes.
| Feature | RFID | Barcodes |
|---|---|---|
| Data Capacity | High | Low |
| Read Range | Long (up to 100m for active tags) | Short (line-of-sight required) |
| Scanning | Multiple tags at once | One tag at a time |
| Durability | High | Low |
| Accuracy | Nearly 100% | Up to 69% inaccurate |
More businesses are using RFID in inventory management because it’s so accurate and efficient. As RFID costs go down, more companies are investing in it. This helps them improve their supply chain and stay ahead in the market.
