RFID Solutions
RFID, or radio frequency identification, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an RFID tag). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. The reader converts the radio waves reflected back from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed on to computers and RFID software which can make use of it.
Bar code scanning software can generally be used with any barcode scanner. Serial barcode scanners, RFID scanners and keyboard wedge scanners are some examples. In addition to inventory tracking, there are other valuable applications where bar code scanning can be applied.
In-line high-speed scanning systems can collect production counts, product changeovers, downtime and other efficiency data. Collecting critical, real-time data from the factory floor with bar code scanners, Pocket PCs and other hand-held devices can be invaluable information to a manufacturer.
