RFID

Radio Frequency Identification

RFID, in full Radio Frequency Identification, allows you to keep track of what is going on at any time. Through technology which uses radio signals, you identify and locate people or objects from a distance. Rapidly and without optical scanning.

RFID can be applied in various sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, retail, e-commerce, and ports.

What exactly is RFID?

RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification, is an advanced technology that identifies and tracks objects using radio waves. Unlike barcodes, which require visual scanning, RFID enables systems to capture information wirelessly and without direct line-of-sight. It consists of three main components: RFID tags, RFID readers, and a data management system.

How does RFID work?

The heart of RFID technology lies in RFID tags, which are small, electronic devices that contain information about the associated object. These tags can be active (with their own power source) or passive (powered by the reader’s energy). When an RFID tag comes within range of an RFID reader, the reader emits a radio wave that activates the tag. The tag responds by sending its unique identification data back to the reader.

This process ensures fast and accurate data collection, which is crucial in warehouse management. Warehouse managers can assign RFID tags to each individual item and collect information on multiple items with a single read. This reduces the need for manual data entry and minimises the risk of human error.

What are the benefits of RFID?

Contactless process
The data is transferred from the transponder to the reader device and from the writing device to the transponder via radio antennas. Neither visual contact nor physical contact is required. The radio signals can penetrate various materials. This not only leads to faster detection of the goods, but also has the advantage that inaccessible areas can be reached more easily.

Fast data exchange
The wireless transmission of data between transmitter and receiver is almost without delays.

Bulk detection
RFID readers can read multiple RFID tags in large quantities simultaneously. In theory, only one scanning process is then required to detect all products on a pallet or transport container.

Virtually error-free
RFID tags achieve a reading result of virtually 100%. RFID systems offer additional security: they can recognize incorrect tags and exclude them.

Security thanks to encryption
Even when using plain text, data can be transmitted while encrypted. This also enables access control.

Insusceptible to external factors
Extreme environmental conditions, such as large temperature fluctuations, heat, cold, or moisture are no problem for RFID tags. Even products that are later subjected to special post-treatment or cleaning processes over time can be reliably identified with RFID.

Reusable
Unlike conventional printed barcodes, the data on an RFID chip can be changed or supplemented at any time afterwards.

Invisible
The tiny RFID transponders can be unobtrusively integrated into most labels.

For which industries is RFID suitable?

✓ Logistics and Supply Chain Management: In the logistics sector, accurate tracking and management of goods is crucial to ensure efficient processes. RFID tags can be applied to items and packaging, enabling real-time tracking and inventory management. This helps reduce inventory shortages, minimise loss and theft, and speed up order fulfillment.

✓ Retail: Retailers can benefit from RFID technology by increasing stock accuracy and improving shelf stocking. This improves customer satisfaction and minimises the risk of sold-out products. Moreover, RFID tags can be used for theft prevention and to gain insight into consumer behaviour.

✓ Healthcare: In healthcare, RFID helps track medical equipment, patient records and medicines. This reduces errors and improves the efficiency of healthcare delivery. In addition, RFID systems can be used for patient identification, enhancing the safety and accuracy of treatments.

✓ Production and manufacturing: RFID technology can help optimise production processes by real-time tracking of raw materials and product parts. This leads to improved inventory control, reduced machine downtime and improved productivity.

✓ Transport and haulage: In the transport sector, RFID tags can be used to automatically identify vehicles, track loads, and manage access to secure areas. This contributes to smoother traffic management and better security.

✓ Agriculture: RFID can help farms track livestock, crops, and farm machinery. This results in better control of farming operations and can help minimise waste.
