RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that automatically identifies and reads information from attached tags using radio waves. It is widely applied in warehouse shelf management, tool inventory, and access control, and is characterized by contactless operation and the ability to read multiple tags simultaneously.
Timeline (last 90 days)
RFID mainly solves the problem of item identity recognition, with readers activating tags at close range, answering 'what is this thing'; RTLS, by contrast, solves the problem of continuously locating where an item is at this moment.
In factory scenarios, RFID is suitable for inbound/outbound inventory counting and process node confirmation, while RTLS is suitable for tracking the real-time positions of high-value mobile equipment, forklifts, or transfer containers, and the two are often used in combination.
RFID transmits data between readers and tags via radio waves, with read distances ranging from a few centimeters to over ten meters, and is widely used in warehousing logistics and inventory management.
The per-unit cost of RFID/NFC tags can range from a few cents to several dollars, depending on encryption level, storage capacity and packaging form.
RFID automatically reads tag information via radio waves and is suitable for bulk inventory counting in fixed areas such as warehouse shelves and toolboxes
