RFID Technology
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is the way modern objects communicate. The different uses of RFID technology respond to a wide range of business processes.
01
RFID Technology
As its name suggests, RFID is a radio frequency identification system between two or more objects, where one emits radio signals and the other responds according to the signal received.
It can be useful where continuous data recording is required, or where it cannot be carried out due to human impossibility or cost. However, RFID can be useful in internal company situations, in own processes or in processes for exchanging information and goods between different agents in the chain.
As an example:
- Inventory control
- Traceability
- Goods movement
- Industrial process control
- Process automation
As an example:
- Asset tracking
- Access and vehicle control
- Optimisation in hospitals
- Logistics and warehousing

To be able to identify objects by radio frequency, different RFID components need to be used: RFID Labels, RFID Readers, RFID Tags and RFID Software.
The fundamental purpose of RFID is to transmit the identity of an object or product, through RFID tags or labels, when activated by an RFID antenna. This information reaches the RFID reader, which in turn is transmitted to the software so that the data obtained can be analysed and managed.
There are different radio frequencies and each of them has a different use. The use of the different frequencies is totally generalised and approved worldwide by different entities.
