Radio Frequency Identification RFID
technology is about to change how we collect, manage and use information
in business ... and in our daily lives. Through RFID technology,
information can be imbedded in a label to create a powerful
smart label for use in logistics, security, health care, access
management, product safety, ownership verification and a multitude of
other applications.
This technology provides a quick, flexible and reliable
way to electronically detect, track and control a variety of items. RFID
printers/encoders are used to print bar codes, graphics, and human-readable text
on the suface of a label. At the same time, they encode information on an
RFID microchip embedded in the label.
An RFID transponder consists of the chip attached to a
small antenna. Information is stored on the chip, and is transmitted
through the antenna to and from the transponder via radio waves. In this
way, information on the chip can be encoded, read and updated at a
later date.
