Radio-frequency identification: using electronic tags and readers to identify and track items without a visible barcode scan.
An RFID system uses radio waves to exchange identifying data between a tag and a reader. A typical tag contains a microchip attached to an antenna and stores an identifier associated with an item. The reader sends a signal that the tag responds to, allowing the system to capture that identifier without visually scanning a printed barcode. Passive tags usually have no power source of their own, while active tags use power to broadcast a signal. Reading a tag identifies it electronically. The usefulness of that reading still depends on its association with the correct item record.
