Radio Frequency Identification Tags

published: cw 10, 2005 in Supply Chain Technology & RFID

The electronic alternative to the barcode is the Radio Frequency Identification tag (RFID).

RFID tags can be easily updated and have a high capacity to store variable information.

They can be tailored to suit individual customer needs - distinct customer segments, for example, may require customised data sets - and they have the capacity to improve the tracking of products and assist with environmental consignment monitoring.
