Traditional bar coding technology provides an economical solution for
Automatic Identification Data Collection (AIDC) industry applications.
However, this technology has a primary limitation: each bar-coded item
has to be scanned individually, thus limiting the scanning speed.
Extra costs are incurred through the use of manual labor or automating
the scanning process. And when the scanning is manually performed,
there is the added possibility of human error. As a result of these
limitations, RFID technology has been making inroads in AIDC
application. |

offers greater flexibility, higher data storage capacities, increased
data collection throughput, and greater immediacy and accuracy of data
collection. An increasing number of companies in a variety of
markets worldwide are embracing RFID technology to increase quality
and quantity of data collection in an expeditious manner, a feat not
always possible with bar coding systems. The technology’s enhanced
accuracy and security makes it an ideal data collection platform for a
variety of markets and applications, including healthcare,
pharmaceutical, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, transportation,
and retail.
This white paper describes the basic components of an RFID system
and explores the technology, applications, and competitive advantages
of RFID technology and its uses for automatic identification data
collection (AIDC). |
