RFID Tags: Passive, Active And Hybrid

All RFID tags are used to hold and ultimately send data. They can best be thought of as the replacement for the bar code. However, they have significant advantages over bar codes. For example: RFID tags can hold much more data than bar codes; they can be read from further away and they can in point of fact send information, not only store data.

RFID – The Basics

RFID stands for 'Radio Frequency Identification'. It involves the utilization of an object normally made of plastic or metal to identify an object in a similar way to bar codes identify items. In fact, they are used in a very similar way to bar codes and, at least for the foreseeable future, are usually used in conjunction with bar codes.

Wal-Mart Is To Start Using RFID Tags

Wal-Mart will shortly be adding Radio Frequency IDentity tags to some of its clothing. RFID tags can hold more information than bar codes and so are more useful for stock control. An item bearing an RFID tag does not have to be taken out from the trolley to be scanned because the tag radios its data back to the reader on its own unique radio frequency. These tags can be put under labels or sewn into clothing because they can be very, very small.
