Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID)

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automated data collection technology that uses radio waves to transfer data between a tag and a reader to identify, track or locate the item attached to the tag. The transfer of data is then transmitted from the reader to a computer or server for processing and management. RFID does not need a line of sight or contact between the reader and the tag. The market is segmented into hardware and software.
